Stellar Snippets
Johnny Depp is well-known for his versatile roles in blockbusters like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pirates of the Caribbean.
His net worth began to increase in the early '90s as he found mainstream success.
In a career spanning over 40 years, he has been successful as an actor, singer, and guitarist, having played on some Oscar-nominated soundtracks.
However, he has had controversy surrounding his personal life. Ex-wife Amber Heard spoke of domestic abuse in a Washington Post op-ed in 2018.
Consequently, Depp lost important projects like the final installment of the Fantastic Beasts trilogy in which he was to play the antagonist Grindelwald.
Ultimately, Depp filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, which she countersued for $100 million.
After a six-week-long highly publicized trial in 2022, Depp won 15 million in damages whereas Heard won $2 million as compensation.
In 2022, before the lawsuit, he was valued at $150 million which now stands at $210 million due to his legal victories and career successes.
