Robert De Niro has an estimated net worth of $500 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Robert De Niro net worth page (figures as of September 23, 2026).
Robert De Niro is an American actor and producer widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation. He studied acting at HB Studio, the Stella Adler Conservatory and Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio, and he won his first Academy Award for playing the young Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II. He won again for Best Actor as boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.
His long partnership with Martin Scorsese produced classics such as Taxi Driver and later The Irishman and Killers of the Flower Moon. He also found big commercial success in comedies such as Meet the Parents. His honors include the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and an Honorary Palme d'Or in 2025.
How Robert De Niro makes his money
De Niro has earned from acting for more than five decades, and his later career has been especially profitable. Studio comedies like the Meet the Parents films drew huge audiences, and stars in hit franchises are paid far more than in the serious dramas that made his name. He has kept working steadily into his eighties, which few actors manage.
Business is the other big part of his fortune. He co-founded the Tribeca Film Festival and the Tribeca production company in New York, and he has invested in New York real estate. He is also known as a partner in a global restaurant and hotel brand, and stakes in businesses like these can be worth far more than film fees.
Producing adds to that. Through his company he has developed films and television, earning from projects beyond his own roles.
The published estimate
Celebrity Net Worth estimates Robert De Niro's net worth at $500 million, on its page last updated September 23, 2026. That figure is an outside estimate of what the star has earned and kept after taxes, fees and spending. It is not an official number, and the star has not confirmed it or published personal finances.
His figure reflects both a long, well-paid acting career and his business interests in New York. Business stakes are hard to value from outside, so the estimate may move. We will add any newer dated estimate from a named outlet to the chart above, and we never fill in the years between published figures.
