Johnny Depp earned over 900 million dollars during his time on the silver screen. He is currently the richest movie star in the world. This is because of the success of his film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. He has a car collection, a real estate portfolio, and a relationship with Vanessa Paradis.
Pirates Success
Despite Johnny Depp’s success with the Pirates franchise, he hasn’t had a hit movie since 2006. He has had a handful of underperforming movies in between, including The Lone Ranger and Alice Through the Looking Glass.
A recent article from CinemaBlend compared the success of a movie with and without Johnny Depp. The Pirates franchise relaunch would give the story a new spin. This film would be the first in a series with a female lead, Christina Hodson, and it would have an original story with new characters.
The movie’s main draw was a better than expected plot and a lot of better than average special effects. But, it didn’t fare too well in the box office. The movie also ranked in the bottom half of the list for the largest overseas opening of all time, with $208 million.
Car Collection
Known as one of the world’s wealthiest A-list celebrities, Johnny Depp has an amazing car collection. His collection includes classic and new-generation sports cars, SUVs, and luxury yachts. These include a Mercedes-Benz V-Class and a Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Two-Door Coupe
The Rolls-Royce Wraith is a two-door coupe with a 17-foot silhouette. It has a 6.6L twin-turbo V12 engine, which produces 590 pound-feet of torque. The engine can go from 4.4 seconds to 155 mph and be lowered to a 4.4-second time.
The BMW 7-Series is a luxury car. The standard 4.4-liter Twin-Turbocharged V8 engine can produce 389 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. It can cost as much as $103,000.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class
The Mercedes-Benz V-Class is another luxury vehicle in Johnny Depp’s car collection. The sedan, also known as the Metris, is one of the most elegant sedans on the market. The engine can produce up to 455 horsepower. Its seats can be adjusted in 16 different ways, and the temperature control system is sophisticated. Its adaptive dynamic system makes it a capable off-roader.
Real Estate Portfolio
Among the most famous stars in the world, Johnny Depp owns a portfolio of properties that spans across the globe. His real estate includes a private island in the Bahamas, a small village in France, and even a penthouse in Los Angeles. He also owns a horse farm in Kentucky.
While filming his first movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Johnny Depp saw an island he was intrigued by. He subsequently purchased the property and turned it into a guest house. He spent five million dollars on the renovation of the interior.
In 2016, he listed a 37-acre compound for sale for $27 million. However, he never sold it. In fact, he has spent $19 million on all of the homes that he owns.
Spending on Bodyguards
During his peak as an actor, Johnny Depp reached a net worth of $900 million. His financial situation has recently come under scrutiny. His former manager, Joel Mandel, accused him of having mismanaged his finances. He alleged that the actor’s lifestyle was unsustainable and that he lacked enough liquid assets to cover his expenses.
Ex-Wife Amber Heard
As a result, Johnny Depp is facing a number of lawsuits. In addition to his current lawsuit against former managers, he is also being sued for assault and intentional infliction of mental distress by his ex-wife Amber Heard. He is also being sued for allegedly mismanaging his money.
Johnny Depp is currently in the middle of a $50 million lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard. The two have been dating since 2009, and have been engaged on and off since 2011. They have two children, Suri and Lucas.
Relationship with Vanessa Paradis
During the couple’s relationship, they stayed fairly low-key in Hollywood. They spent time together in Paradis’s native France. We lived in two homes in L.A., and owned a private island in the Caribbean. They had two children together, Jack and Lily-Rose.
Depp and Paradis broke up in 2012, but maintained a respectful dialogue afterward. They decided to spend more time with their children, and were able to avoid public attention in their native France.
Final Words:
Paradis and Depp met on the set of Roman Polanski’s movie The Ninth Gate. They later married on a Caribbean island. We had a daughter, Lily-Rose, in 1999, and a son, Jack, in 2002. They separated in 2012.
In June 2012, Depp and Paradis announced that they were getting a divorce. They did not name names, but rumors circulated that the reason for their breakup was due to conflicting schedules.
