Depp's car collection consists of 45 expensive cars, on which an unknown number of millions were spent. In fairness, it should be noted that, for example, Johnny did not spend a penny on this luxurious 1959 Chevrolet Corvette. The car that participated in the filming of the film "Rum Diary" was presented to him by the film producer Graham King as a thank you to "the man who has everything."

K. Rowling.

Special attention should be paid to the actor's art collection, which includes more than 200 works, including such giants of modern art as Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. This Basquiat self-portrait alone was sold in June 2016 at Christie's auction for $4.7 million. A total of eight works belonging to Depp were put up for sale.

TMG claims that over the years Depp has spent about $10 million to support friends, family members and some employees. This amount includes expenses for the maintenance of the actor's sister and now deceased mother. Johnny bought his mother a house in Hollywood for several million dollars and paid $35,000 a month to care for her during her illness. In addition, Depp sponsored his childhood friend's budding music label. It cost him $4 million and never generated any income.

But Johnny Depp would not be Johnny Depp if, in addition to the generally quite ordinary requests of any rich person, he would not spend as much as $3 million on something completely beyond the bounds of reason. Namely, the fulfillment of the last request of his friend Hunter S. Thompson, the most famous writer and journalist who shot himself at the age of 67. (Photo: ERIK C PENDZICH/REX/Shutterstock)

Back in 1978, in an interview with the BBC, Thompson said that he would like to arrange a "posthumous party" for his friends with the scattering of his own ashes from a cannon. These words were interpreted as the last will of the writer, and on August 20, 2005, Depp assumed the costs of its execution. For the shot, a special cannon was built on Thompson's farm in Colorado, mounted on a 47-meter-high tower. At the top of the tower was a huge six—fingered fist - a symbol of the genre of gonzo journalism invented by Thompson, through which the writer's ashes were shot at sunset. The posthumous party was attended by John Kerry, Jack Nicholson, John Cusack, Bill Murray, Benicio Del Toro and Sean Penn.
