Johnny Depp is one of the most loved actors out there. He’s also extremely rich. He has a net worth of over $150 million. But this is before he lost most of his money. His overall net worth might have been well over $900 million at one point.

Johnny stepped into the entertainment industry with the aim of becoming a rock musician. He dropped out of high school to pursue his dream. After the breakup of his band “The Kids”, he moved to Los Angeles to start his career in acting.

Johnny is an extremely wealthy person. But his wealth once was not even close to its peak. He had lost a huge chunk of his wealth, around $650 million USD.

He lost nearly $650 million from his earnings owing to his overindulgent life practices, addiction issues, and recurring legal expenses.

Johnny Depp lives an extremely extravagant lifestyle and spends over $2 million on himself every month. He spends more than $30,000 on wine every month. TMG (The Management Group), who managed Depp’s finances, claims that Depp has spent over $75 million dollars buying and furnishing houses, blown his wealth on 45 luxury cars, He also, apparently rents a private jet, which costs him about $200,000 a month. He also spends $36 million a year on 40 full-time employees.

PRIVATE YACHT

He also bought a 156-foot $10 million yacht, plus an extra $8 million renovating it, which he called Amphitrite (which he later sold to JK Rowling for $27 million). He used to spend $350,000 a month to maintain and manage his yacht.

Depp had to sell Amphitrite, to cover his living expenses because there was a point where he didn’t have enough liquid money to cover his $2 million monthly bills.

PAINTINGS

Depp doesn’t care about spending his money faster than he makes it. He impulsively bought three Leonor Fini paintings from New York City art gallery, costing a collective total of $565,000 (out of which he gifted the third one, costing $245,000 to his then-girlfriend Amber Heard). Depp has about 200 art pieces in his ownership, from renowned names in the art industry, like Andy Warhol and Amedeo Modigliani.

We clearly get the impression that he does not care about his money.

It is due to such a rich, lavish, and carefree lifestyle, that Depp has had trouble not going bankrupt in the past.

In 2016, when Depp had a lack of liquid money to pay for his expenses, he blamed TMG (The Management Group) for mismanaging his money. He sued them for “negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and fraud” for $25 million. Depp believed TMG led him to be more than $40 million in debt.

But reps for TMG said that Depp was repeatedly told to tighten the reins on his expenditures. They said that their former client was in their debt for a lot of services and claimed that his financial situation was a cause of his careless lifestyle. Both parties settled over a weekend for an undisclosed amount.

But Johnny’s legal troubles were far from over.

Though Depp loves spending huge amounts of money on whatever he likes or wants, he is also generous. He has helped numerous different charities.
