A-list Hollywood stars, like Johnny Depp, grow accustomed to making 7 to 10 figures for their work, which includes acting, endorsements, and anything else that can add to their abundant wealth. Often, the more money a star makes, the more they spend, and the wilder the purchases become.

Stars have purchased everything from complete islands, to dinosaur bones, and even towns. It’s absurd, but when you have an endless stream of millions, nothing is off limits anymore.

During a tumultuous legal period for Depp, the subject of his finances was put on display for the world to see. What regular, everyday people bore witness to was a shocking list of extravagant purchases from Depp, as well as a bill that totaled $2 million each month.

Johnny Depp Was Blowing Through $2 Million Each Month

$2 million each month apparently meant little to Depp, who was making an astounding amount of money during his career’s peak.

The details emerged as Depp was in the midst of a lawsuit with The Management Group (TMG). The 2017 filing by Depp alleged that TMG mishandled his finances.

TMG, however, fired back, claiming that Depp did it all to himself.

In a piece by CNBC, details of his spending habits were outlined. Suffice to say that Depp was living his life extravagantly.

Depp was allegedly spending north of $30,000 on wine each month, $300,000 for a staff of at least 40 people, $150,000 for his security team, as well as $200,000 for a private jet to get from one place to the next.

The site also reported that TMG alleged that Depp spent $75 million on 14 residences, one of which was a village in France. No, not just a portion of it; the entire thing.

In regard to the village, Depp was trying to get rid of it for the reasonable asking price of $63 million.

Other massive purchases like a chain of islands, multiple penthouses, and a $3 million purchase to fire Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a canon.

Utterly insane spending, and fans had a field day with this information.

One fan was surprisingly understanding of his wine spending.

“$30,000/mo on wine is actually not that inconceivable if he is buying really rare stuff at $1000+ a bottle. He does live in France, right?,” they wrote.

“$2 million per month. Now, everything is relative. He makes $20M per movie. But, that also suggests that one major movie per year isn’t enough to maintain his lifestyle. To blow through that kind of money per year is beyond excessive,” another wrote.

As far as their predictions for his salary, well, they’re off by tens of millions of dollars.

Depp Was Making Shocking Amounts Of Money For His Pirates Of The Caribbean Franchise

At the peak of his box office career, which largely focused on the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Depp was raking in obscene amounts of money.

“To date, Johnny Depp’s many successful films have grossed over $3.7 billion in America and $10 billion worldwide at the box office. His annual income in some years has been known to top $100 million, easily making him the highest paid actor on the planet. A lawsuit against his former business managers would reveal that between 2003 and 2016 alone, Johnny earned $650 million in salaries, backend profits, and endorsement contracts,” Celebrity Net Worth reported.

Some of his most notable salaries include $55 million for Alice in Wonderland, as well as $60 million for Dead Man’s Chest, and $55 million for At World’s End.

The actor was also raking in millions with endorsements, including a seven-figure fragrance deal.

With that type of income, $2 million a month seems like chump change.

For Depp, despite blowing through incalculable amounts of money over the years, his net worth remains sky high.

His Current Net Worth Is $150 Million

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Depp is still worth $150 million.

We’re assuming that a lot of his real estate holdings count as a major piece of this, as Depp is not exactly the box office mega star that he was during the 2000s and early 2010s.

Depp’s last sizable hit at the box office came in 2018 with the success of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The film was able to gross over $650 million globally, but after Depp’s controversies came to light, he was dropped from the franchise entirely, which undoubtedly cost him millions.

Unless something changes with his spending or his success at the box office, Depp won’t be able to shell out $2 million each month for his lavish lifestyle. With so much of his personal life coming to light, we’re sure that more information regarding his spending will be unearthed.
