If you sign a prenup you should honor it.
If you don’t want to honor it, don’t sign it. She should be able to live off $1 million a year while living rent-free in her $6 million apartment, but she wants half.
The estranged wife of Robert De Niro hopes to secure half of his $500 million bag, according to reports. At least that’s how much she says he’s worth. The chances of Grace Hightower getting the $250 million might be slim since their prenup that dates back to to 2004 allows her to get a $6 million apartment, $500,000 in cash and $1 million for alimony every year.
Still, in divorce proceedings in a Manhattan Supreme Court Thursday, Hightower said that thanks to his alleged net worth, she should get more than what they agreed.
De Niro insists that it plainly irons out what Hightower should get. Hightower says the prenup also allows her to get half of what he has made since they got remarried. Since 2004, De Niro has starred in several films including Meet The Fockers in 2004, Silver Linings Playbook in 2012 and The Intern in 2015. He also has a stake in the Nobu sushi chain. On top of that, she wants half of what he brought in via his share in Tribeca Grill, the Greenwich Hotel and Canal Productions.
The judge hasn’t ruled, but it should be in favor of De Niro.
