Robert De Niro Sets Boundaries: Refuses to Marry 45-Year-Old Partner Without Prenup Following $500M Reality Check

Robert De Niro appears determined to safeguard his wealth following a turbulent divorce that nearly severed his $500 million fortune. The renowned 81-year-old Oscar winner is rumored to be insisting on a prenuptial agreement before marrying his 45-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. De Niro's insistence stems from his drawn-out divorce from Grace Hightower, which, despite their 2004 prenup protecting his income, cost him dearly. He continues to pay $1 million annually in alimony and previously contributed $6 million toward a new residence for Hightower. While Chen, who gave birth to their daughter Gia in 2023, desires marriage, an insider indicated De Niro is reluctant unless she consents to prenup stipulations. Such caution is increasingly common among affluent individuals. Tiffany Chen, a decorated martial artist, has yet to have her net worth assessed, although her partner's fortune stands at significant levels.
