Trump Curse Strikes Again, Robert De Niro Gets Life Changing News

Actor Robert De Niro, one of the most ardent anti-President Donald Trump celebrities, just got some tough news about his future.

The actor’s ex-wife has now demanded that he give her half of his $500 million fortune causing many to speculate that the woman of a fan of the president, The New York Post reported.

The “Raging Bull” star’s soon-to-be ex Grace Hightower made the big money grab — and revealed intimate details of his net worth — Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court, where the two sat through another in a series of contentious hearings in their ongoing divorce.

The fractured pair — who first married in 1997 and divorced in 1999 — are arguing over the wording of the prenup they signed when they remarried in 2004.

The two are far apart on that wording. De Niro contends that the prenup sets strict limits on her take in a divorce.

Hightower is solely entitled to $6.5 million in cash and property, his side contends, plus annual alimony of $1 million and half the value of a second apartment.

But her side insists the prenup’s language additionally entitles her to half of what the “Goodfellas” star has made during the remarriage.

The bulk of that half-billion-dollar fortune comes from his movies and his lucrative stake in the Nobu sushi chain.

She also believes she’s entitled to an additional 50 percent of what he earned from his share in Tribeca Grill, the 88-room Greenwich Hotel and Canal Productions.

Are you boycotting De Niro?

“Mr. De Niro has made $300 million since 2004 via 35 businesses, and 38 movies,” Hightower’s lawyer, Allan Mantel, told the judge.

“His total income is more than $500 million. He gets it all,” he said in angry disbelief, prompting Justice Matthew Cooper to interject some humor into the tense proceeding.

“Now his income will fall, now that special counsel Robert Mueller is out of the picture on ‘Saturday Night Live,’” the judge quipped.
