Robert De Niro’s net worth is estimated at $500 million as of November 2026, according to Celebrity Net Worth as reported by Parade.

Who is Robert De Niro?

Robert De Niro is an American actor, director and producer born August 17, 1943, in New York City, and a two-time Academy Award winner for The Godfather Part II and Raging Bull. Beyond film, he co-founded TriBeCa Productions, the Tribeca Festival and the Nobu restaurant and hotel group. Read his full story in Robert De Niro’s biography.

How the money breaks down

  • Film and television (career earnings): Six decades of leading roles, from Taxi Driver and Raging Bull to Meet the Parents, The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon, plus the 2025 Netflix series Zero Day. No single verified career-earnings total exists, so no figure is stated here.
  • Nobu restaurants and hotels: Co-founded with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Meir Teper. By October 2026 the group counted 19 hotels and 55 restaurants, according to City AM, which reported the group as worth about $1.3 billion, with the three founders understood to own about 80 per cent between them. De Niro’s personal share is not public.
  • Tribeca ventures: TriBeCa Productions (founded 1989 with Jane Rosenthal) and the Tribeca Festival (founded 2002), plus the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca, which De Niro owns.
  • Barbuda resort: The Beach Club, Barbuda — the only Nobu resort property De Niro personally owns, according to Parade (November 1, 2026) — offers pre-opening tented suites from late December 2026 at $3,500 per night, ahead of the 36-room Nobu Beach Inn opening in late 2027.

Career earnings timeline

  • 1974: Wins the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather Part II, establishing him as a leading dramatic actor.
  • 1980: Wins the Academy Award for Best Actor for Raging Bull.
  • 1989–2002: Builds his business base — TriBeCa Productions in 1989, the first Nobu restaurant in Tribeca in 1994, the Tribeca Festival in 2002.
  • 2013: The first Nobu Hotel opens inside Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, expanding the brand from restaurants into hotels.
  • 2015: Billionaire James Packer acquires a 20 per cent stake in Nobu for $100 million, implying a $500 million valuation for the group at the time.
  • 2019: Reports trace the $500 million personal estimate to De Niro’s divorce proceedings that year; the figure has been repeated by Celebrity Net Worth ever since.
  • 2023–2026: Late-career run continues with Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), Zero Day and The Alto Knights (2025), and Focker-In-Law (November 25, 2026).

Estimate methodology — read this before quoting the figure

The $500 million figure comes from Celebrity Net Worth, an aggregator, as reported by Parade — not from Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun, none of which was found to publish a De Niro estimate. Some 2026 roundups put the range at $500–750 million. We publish $500 million as the widely reported headline and flag the higher end as unverified, because De Niro’s Nobu stake, hotel ownership and property portfolio are all private and no audited breakdown exists. The $1.3 billion Nobu group valuation reported by City AM is the value of the whole company, not De Niro’s share, and must not be added to his personal total. Figures in this article are estimates as of November 2026 and will move with private valuations that are not publicly disclosed.

The Nobu group was reported in October 2026 to be worth about $1.3 billion, with De Niro, Meir Teper and Nobu Matsuhisa understood to own about 80 per cent between them. That is the value of the whole group, not De Niro’s personal share, which is not public.
