The estranged wife was profligate Robert De Niro desperately filmed for alimony

Robert De Niro (right) is still desperately filming at the age of 77 in order to pay alimony.

Robert De Niro, a veteran Hollywood film emperor, has been questioned by the outside world for several years, and some funny farces that are unlikely to be related to him in the imagination are still acting. His lawyer recently said at a video conference on divorce-related matters that he was dragged down by the profligacy of his separated wife, Grace Hightower, and that the 77-year-old had to film desperately, afraid of not being able to pay alimony.

Robert De Niro's black-and-white love affair with Grace was married in 1997 and separated in 2018, during which Robert experienced the change of a tough guy to a laughing artist, and his income also grew greatly, so Grace believed that she had the right to allocate a certain proportion of the property according to the agreement between the two parties. However, Robert's lawyers accused her of never being able to meet her need for a brand name, and that every month Robert had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills for her, and that the year after the two divorced, she actually spent $1.2 million to buy a diamond ring, and when she took a total of $1.67 million from Robert, Robert really couldn't hold on.

The lawyer repeatedly stressed that Robert was too old to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week to keep up with the pace at which Grace was spending money, that he was 77 years old, and that although he still loved his job, he should not be forced to work like this. Recently, Robert has been taxed by the US government, and the income from the two new films has been used to fill it.

But Grace's lawyer is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and also said that Robert's life is not more economical, such as he is going to Connecticut for brunch, will rent a helicopter to fly him over, and he will also take a private jet to Florida to see friends. If he was really forced to work hard by money, how could he still have such a luxury? Lawyers on both sides contradicted each other, and the war was difficult to quell for a while.
