The couple had bought multiple properties together, including a five-story townhouse on the Upper West Side. It was put on the market for $19 million earlier this year, then chopped to $17.9 million, and is currently under contract for an unknown price.
Bob also dated Annie Clayton, who at the time was a receptionist at Miramax. The two married in 2000, had two children, and divorced in 2012.

Ivana Lowell, a British aristocrat who dated Bob while she worked at Miramax Books, published her own account of her interactions with Harvey in her 2010 novel, "Why Not Say What Happened?" While an employee of the Weinsteins, Harvey allegedly chased her around a desk and arrived at her apartment one night unannounced.
Together, the brothers have earned more than 300 Oscar nominations with the company, and Bob has hundreds of production credits, including films like "Pulp Fiction" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

In 2005, the brothers left the company and began The Weinstein Company with a $1 billion investment from Goldman Sachs.
Harvey and Bob Weinstein founded Miramax in 1979 and sold it to Disney for around $70 million in 1997. The name was a nod to their parents, Miriam and Max.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein are from New York City, and as Bob wrote in a Vanity Fair article in 2003, the two "grew up in a small two-bedroom apartment in a lower-middle-class housing development called Elechester." In that same article, Bob referred to himself as the "quiet brother."
