What is Robert De Niro’s net worth in 2026?
Celebrity Net Worth put Robert De Niro’s net worth at $500 million when it last updated the figure on September 23, 2026.
De Niro’s fortune is unusual among actors because so much of it sits outside film: he co-founded the Nobu restaurant and hotel group with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and producer Meir Teper, expanding it from a single New York restaurant into a global luxury brand with dozens of locations.
How Robert De Niro made his money
The Nobu stake. His ownership in Nobu Hospitality – restaurants and hotels across five continents – is the largest single driver of his estimated wealth, dwarfing even a six-decade film career.
The acting resume. Two Academy Awards (The Godfather Part II, Raging Bull), Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat and The Irishman keep generating residuals and prestige fees.
The Tribeca build. He co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival and has been a central figure in Lower Manhattan’s post-2001 cultural rebuilding, with associated production and real-estate interests.

Celebrity Net Worth is the only estimate retained here because we could not establish a credible independent origin for the other figures in the consulted pages. It is an outside estimate, not a verified balance sheet.
Reported earnings figures
- Celebrity Net Worth reports small early pay: about $35,000 for Taxi Driver and about $200,000 plus a percentage of the gross for The Last Tycoon (Celebrity Net Worth). These are reported film pay, not net worth.
- The Australian Financial Review reported in July 2024 that Crown’s sale of its 20% Nobu stake valued the whole Nobu business at $1.3 billion (AFR, July 11, 2024). The excerpt we read does not state the currency, and we did not find the size of De Niro’s own Nobu stake, so we cannot turn this into a figure for him.
Reading these figures
