Personal Life
Renner married Canadian model Sonni Pacheo on January 13, 2014. The couple's daughter Ava Berlin was born on March 28, 2013. Pacheo filed for divorce from Renner in late December 2014, citing irreconcilable differences. They share custody of their daughter.
In 2019, Sonni Pacheo alleged that Renner allegedly put a gun in his mouth and threatened to kill himself. He ended up shooting the gun into the ceiling while his young daughter was in a bedroom elsewhere in the house.
In July 2020, Pacheo requested that Renner be drug tested to ensure the safety of their daughter. At the time, the then-29-year-old model accused the then-49-year-old actor of having a "long history of alcohol and drug abuse which has persisted since before the parties' marriage, through divorce and post-judgment," according to court documents. She requested to see results from a drug test Renner took in February that he claims were negative.
Pacheo also claimed that Renner was not adhering to proper social distancing guidelines and brings "several young women" over to hang out with him regularly. The court documents revealed that someone on Instagram anonymously tipped Pacheo off about Renner's Fourth of July party at his Lake Tahoe area mansion. The documents read: "In these messages, this person told me that Jeremy was having people over at his Reno house and that nobody was wearing masks. The above party sent me numerous Instagram posts showing people at Jeremy's Reno house, including several young women. This person also sent me screenshots of young women announcing they were in Lake Tahoe and wearing t-shirts that say "Camp Renner.' They are not wearing masks in the photos."
Renner denied all charges against him and alleged his ex was simply trying to get more money out of him.
In September 2020 Jeremy claimed COVID had rendered his income to "less than zero" in a bid to have his support payments to Pacheo lowered. In better times, more precisely between 2017 and 2019, Renner estimated his own average net monthly income at nearly $350,000 per month. At the time of his filing, Renner claimed he was earning around $18,000 per month. According to Renner, his total monthly expenditures come to almost $100,000 per month, which includes $30,000 in monthly child support.
Real Estate
Jeremy leads somewhat of a double life. When he is not acting, he's flipping homes in Los Angeles and has perhaps made more money from real estate than he has from acting paychecks. To date, he has flipped more than 25 houses in the Los Angeles area. As he has progressed in his career, so have the homes.
When Jeremy was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in "The Hurt Locker," he was living in a tent in the master bedroom of one of his projects. He did not have running water or electricity on the day he put on his tuxedo to attend the ceremony.
Jeremy first started flipping homes to support himself as he tried to make it in Hollywood with longtime friend Kristoffer Winters. In the early 2000s, they focused on $500-600,000 modest homes in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. They would aim to flip the homes for $800-900,000. Fast forward a decade to 2013, Jeremy and Kristoffer flipped a single home for $24 million. They paid $7 million for the home and then poured $10 million into renovation costs for an all-in $17 million. That's a $7 million profit on this one sale. The buyer was British property developer Christian Candy.
Jeremy's primary personal residence, partially for tax purposes, is a six-acre property near Lake Tahoe in Nevada. He bought the property, which features a 6,000-square-foot mansion, in 2014 for $1.3 million. While clearing snow outside of this residence on January 1, 2023, Jeremy was accidentally overrun by his own 14,000-pound snowcat. The accident required Renner to be airlifted to a hospital, where he was placed in intensive care after suffering from extreme blood loss and critical injuries. He was released from the hospital on January 17 and returned home to continue his recovery, and 10 weeks after the accident, Renner had regained enough strength to start walking with a cane.
In Los Angeles, Jeremy has owned a 9,000-square-foot mansion in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood since 2012. He bought the home for $4 million and spent $5.5 million renovating the property. He listed the estate for sale in August 2024 for $12.9 million.
