Looks like Johnny Depp loves splurging his hard-earned money on the things he dearly loves, including cars, books, art and properties. However, in 2009, the actor considered selling them as he went through a major cash crunch. This came after his former business managers sued him after they got fired by the actor in 2016 revealing that Depp was very much aware of his financial troubles. On the other hand, the actor claimed at the time that he was kept in the dark, the reason behind him firing his business managers. Scroll down to know the details.
This was not the only time Johnny Depp went through financial troubles. In July 2023, it was reported that he was deep in debt after losing a massive $650 million during the Amber Heard defamation trial. The Hollywood star apparently took a loan of $10 million to save his two West Hollywood properties.
Circling back to Johnny Depp’s 2009 financial drama, according to Hindustan Times, the leaked mails between the actor and his former business managers revealed how he thought of selling his book, art and cars to ease his money issues. The Management Group’s (TMG) Joel Mandel in the mail requested Depp to “take it easy” over him spending money on Christmas. To this, the actor wrote back, “I am doing my very best on holiday spending, but there is only so much I can do, as I need to give my kiddies and families as good a Christmas as possible, obviously within reason.” Depp also revealed that he was about to start filming The Tourist, his next Pirates movies followed by Dark Shadows.
