Johnny Depp apparently spends $2 million a month to live like Johnny Depp
"Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today."

A lawsuit battle between Johnny Depp and his former business management company has revealed more about the actor than any interview with Barbra Walters or Oprah Winfrey ever could.
Depp, who originally sued(Opens in a new window) The Management Group for misconduct and claimed they grossly misused his finances, received a countersuit from the management company, who claim that they did all they could to manage Depp's lifestyle, but that his outrageous spending was to blame.
The suit was filed on Jan. 31, and disclosed some of the actor's surprising habits.

"Depp lived an ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost Depp in excess of $2 million per month to maintain, which he simply could not afford," lawyer Michael Kump wrote on behalf of The Management Group. "Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today."
And what a lifestyle Depp did lead.
The document details the struggles they had to manage the transactions made by the actor—including $75 million spent on over a dozen residences, $18 million for a yacht, millions spent on collecting jewelry and art, a music label and family living expenses.
But two of the more surprising purchases detailed in the document are Depp's $30,000 spent on wine per month—and "over $3 million to blast from a specially-made cannon the ashes of author Hunter Thompson(Opens in a new window) over Aspen, Colorado."
Cool—whatever works, Depp, but Trader Joe's does have pretty affordable wine, fyi.
