De Niro was born on November 9, 1976, in Los Angeles, but grew up in New York City.[7] He worked at various summer jobs growing up, including in a Persian rug store, as a doorman,[2] a production assistant on movie sets for his father, and as a busboy at his father’s restaurant, Nobu. He attended New York University but did not graduate.[1]
Career
Acting
He appeared in films which also starred his father, including Awakenings and Raging Bull.[2] He produced James Abbott is Gone (2013), the documentary West 4th (2007), and appeared in Love Streams (1984).[8][9]
Real estate
Partly because De Niro's grandmother Virginia Admiral[2] invested in real estate, participating in some of SoHo's first warehouse-to-residential conversions in the 1960s and 1970s, and later his father's involvement, he decided in 2003 to get a real estate broker's license.[10] During his first six years in real estate, De Niro sold a total of $600 million in properties, becoming one of the top ten sellers each year at Douglas Elliman.[2] He is the head of the "De Niro Team" at the firm, which is ranked as a top-producing sales team in New York City and in the U.S.[10] He is a partner with his father Robert De Niro in a five-star boutique hotel in Tribeca, the Greenwich Hotel, launched in 2008.[10] In 2015, De Niro made headlines, along with fellow Elliman broker Sabrina Saltiel, for holding the listing for New York City's most expensive listing at the time; a trio of townhouses on East 42nd Street, listed as a package for $120 million.[11][12]
De Niro married Claudine DeMatos in March 2008.[14] They separated in 2015[15] and their divorce was finalized in January 2020. They have three children together.[15] De Niro married fashion stylist Hannah Carnes in March 2020.[16]
