  Item 8.01    Other Events
  On December 2, 2021, Realty Income Corporation (the "Company" or "Realty Income") provided certain updates with respect to its recent and pending property investments and capital raising, as set forth below.
  From October 1, 2021 through December 1, 2021, the Company  acquired properties with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion and entered into agreements or letters of intent to purchase additional properties with an aggregate estimated purchase price of over $1.1 billion, which are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021. The acquisition of properties is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including various closing conditions and potential purchase price adjustments, and there can be no assurance that the properties for which the Company has entered into letters of intent (which are non-binding and therefore can be terminated by the buyer or the seller) or acquisition agreements as described above will be acquired at the prices or on the timetable or other terms currently contemplated, or at all, or that the Company will enter into binding agreements to acquire properties as to which the Company has entered into letters of intent. The foregoing $1.1 billion of property investments from October 1, 2021 through December 1, 2021 includes investments in properties under development or expansion.
  From October 1, 2021 through December 1, 2021, the Company raised approximately $1.55 billion in capital, consisting of approximately $950 million in net proceeds from the sale of approximately 13.6 million shares of common stock through its at-the-market (ATM) Program, and approximately $595 million through the receipt of a cash distribution (the "Realty Income Distribution") from Orion Office REIT Inc. ("Orion") to the Company in connection with the recently completed spin-off of Orion to the Company's shareholders. The Realty Income Distribution received by the Company included approximately $170 million as reimbursement to the Company for the repayment of mortgages payable (and a portion of the associated prepayment costs) previously collateralized by properties that the Company contributed unencumbered to Orion in connection with the spin-off,  which mortgages payable were repaid by the Company prior to the completion of the spin-off.
  Forward-Looking Statements
  Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not strictly historical are "forward-looking" statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause our actual future results to differ materially from expected results. These risks include, among others, general economic conditions, domestic and foreign real estate conditions, client financial health, the availability of capital to finance planned growth, volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, property acquisitions and the timing, terms or completion of property acquisitions (including the pending and proposed property acquisitions described above), effects of the recently completed spin-off of Orion to the Company's stockholders, effects of the Company's completed merger with VEREIT, charges for property impairments, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit its impact, the effects of pandemics or global outbreaks of contagious diseases or fear of such outbreaks, the ability of clients to adequately manage their properties and fulfill their respective lease obligations to Realty Income, and the outcome of any legal proceedings to which Realty Income is a party. Consequently, forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as reflections of Realty Income's current operating plans and estimates. Actual operating results and other matters, including property acquisitions, may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Realty Income does not undertake any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date these statements were made.
