Just a year later, Pacino landed in the role of Michael Corleone, the youngest son of crime boss Vito Corleone, in Francis Ford Coppola’s crime film The Godfather. It went on to be his breakthrough role, earning him his first Oscar nomination and propelling him to unprecedented fame.

While the movie grossed over $240 million, Pacino received only $35,000 as a salary, which equals around $215,000 today’s dollars.

Al Pacino House 

With award-winning performance in a career that has spanned for over five decades, Pacino has successfully established himself as an influencing figure in cinema. No wonder he has amassed a fortune worth $120 million, which also includes his real assets. He bought a large property in the town of Palisades, New York, which reportedly spans over three private acres, in 1979 for $375,000.

The 80-year-old sold a portion of his compound, including his Palisades guesthouse, for $3.3 million in 2013. It is believed that Al owned another house in the Palisades neighborhood, which he sold in 2010.

Pacino has stayed in his Beverly Hills residence for over a decade now, which he rented from the late novelist Jackie Collins. While Collins’ estate sold the major portion of the property for a total of $30 million in 2016, Pacino has been able to remain a renter. The Scarface actor also owned various Central Park South condos between 1988 and 2013, including a 14-floor corner condo from 2010 to 2013.

Al Pacino: Wife & Children

Pacino has never married, and for this reason, has no wife. But he has fathered three children from his previous relationships.

The 80-year-old became a father for the first time when his ex-partner Jan Tarrant, an acting coach, gave birth to their daughter, Julie Marie Pacino, on October 16, 1989.

Al has two children, twins, son Anton James and daughter Olivia Rose, born on January 25, 2001, from his relationship with actress Beverly D’Angelo. Both dated from 1996 until 2003.

The Scarface actor also had an on-again, off-again relationship with his The Godfather Trilogy co-star Diane Keaton. Besides, he has had romantic relationships with actresses Tuesday Weld, Marthe Keller, Lyndall Hobbs, Kathleen Quinlan, and Jill Clayburgh in the past.

Pacino split from his long-time girlfriend Lucila Solá, an Argentinian actress, in 2018. They had briefly ended their relationship in 2015 but had eventually got back together.

Following his separation from Lucila, Al began dating Israeli actress Meital Dohan after both met at a Hollywood afterparty. They separated in February 2020, with Dohan citing their 36-year age gap as the reason for the split.

“It’s hard to be with a man so old, even Al Pacino. The age gap is difficult, yes. I tried to deny it, but now he is already an elderly man, to be honest,” she told Israel’s LaIsha magazine.
