American film director Rob Reiner was found dead on Sunday at his home in Los Angeles alongside his wife, producer and photographer Michele Reiner. He leaves a fortune of about $200 million, according to the Celebrity Net Worth portal. Rob's son, Nick Reiner, was arrested, and police are investigating an 'apparent homicide' with a bail set at $4 million. Nick is one of the couple's three children, who had been married since 1989. Nick was born in 1993 in Los Angeles and is 32 years old. According to People magazine, Nick Reiner had struggled with addiction for many years, which began in his adolescence and eventually led him to live on the street.
After decades working in Hollywood, the filmmaker managed to accumulate a significant financial legacy thanks to hits like 'When Harry met Sally' (1989), 'Stand by me' (1986), or 'The Princess Bride' (1987), among others. In addition to his success as a director, Reiner was also known as one of the founders of the independent production company Castle Rock Entertainment, one of the most influential in Hollywood. Reiner created Castle Rock Entertainment in 1987 with producers Martin Shafer, Andrew Scheinman, Glenn Padnick, and Alan Horn, current president of Walt Disney Studios. In 1993, after producing iconic titles like the 'Seinfeld' series, they sold the company to Turner Broadcasting, which later merged with WarnerMedia (formerly Time Warner).
The tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife The Reiners were found dead by one of their daughters, who called the police and said a family member would be responsible for their parents' deaths, according to the TMZ portal. The TMZ site adds that Nick and his father Rob attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's last Saturday, where they had a heated argument that everyone at the location heard. After that, Rob and Michelle, the victims, left the place and were later found dead. The deaths of Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 68, have caused a stir among personalities in the arts and politics, where the director was widely known.
