Raphael De Niro (born November 9, 1976) is an American real estate broker and former actor.[1][2] He often works with celebrity clients, including Jon Bon Jovi,[3] Renée Zellweger, Travis Kalanick[4] and Kelly Ripa.[1] De Niro is the son of actor Robert De Niro and actress Diahnne Abbott.[2] He has also appeared in several films: Love Streams (1984);[5] West 4th (2007);[6] James Abbott is Gone (2013);[6] Raging Bull (1980); and Awakenings (1990).[2] De Niro is a broker for Douglas Elliman, and was ranked first in The Real Deal's Manhattan top residential agents in 2017.[1]
Early life and education
De Niro was born on November 9, 1976 in Los Angeles, California but moved to New York City when he was a child.[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 is a member of the Board of Directors of the Tribeca Film Institute.[13]
Personal life
De Niro married Claudine De Matos in March 2008. They separated in 2015[14] and their divorce was finalized in January 2020.[15][16] They have three children together.[citation needed] De Niro married fashion stylist Hannah Carnes in March 2020.[17]
