Nick Reiner's Massive Allowance
Nick Reiner was given $10,000 a month from his parents.
An insider claimed how Nick was getting a whopping "$10,000 a month from his mom and dad."
"He lived rent-free in the guest house, had food provided, and didn’t pay a single bill. Everything was taken care of," the source claimed.
"They made sure he had utilities, groceries, and even extras – a full safety net. It was a lifestyle most people could only dream of."
Rob and Michele Reiner Wanted Nick 'Comfortable and Supported'

Regardless of the money they were providing Nick with, he still was facing internal demons, as he had a well-documented history of substance abuse and mental health problems.
"They wanted him comfortable and supported,” a separate source noted. “But that didn’t mean he wasn’t dealing with challenges behind closed doors."
As Radar reported, earlier this month Rob and Michele were found dead at their home with their throats slit.
Nick ended up getting arrested and remains the main suspect in the case. He was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a special allegation that he used a knife.
