Leonardo DiCaprio, one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars, has made headlines again, but this time, it’s not for his acting prowess or environmental activism. The 49-year-old actor, whose net worth is estimated at $300 million, recently declared his preference for dating women under the age of 25, sparking widespread discussion and debate.

DiCaprio, known for his roles in iconic films such as “Titanic,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Inception,” has long been a subject of media fascination, not just for his acting talents but also for his personal life. Over the years, his relationships with younger women have often been a topic of conversation. DiCaprio’s dating history includes a series of high-profile relationships with models and actresses, many of whom were significantly younger than him.

In a candid statement, DiCaprio addressed his dating preferences, attributing them to a combination of personal choice and lifestyle compatibility. “At this stage in my life,” he explained, “I prefer to date women who are younger. They bring a different energy and perspective, and that’s what works for me.” He added that while his substantial financial assets give him freedom in many aspects of his life, his romantic preferences are driven more by personal connection than material considerations.
