Few have ever seen a person as famous as Johnny Depp after he became famous on the TV show "21 Jump Street". Tim Burton's movies like "Edward Scissorhands" and "Ed Wood" made Johnny Depp an amazing talent who could blend into any role.

The man was paid a lot of money for his work.

In the 13 years they worked together, The Management Group says that he earned over $600 million.

He was paid a lot of money to play Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.

The success of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" led to a 20 million dollar per movie banking spree by Johnny Depp.

"Curse of the Black Pearl," a big-screen adaptation of the Pirates of the Caribbean Disney parks attraction, earned worldwide box-office earnings of over $650 million.

The asking price went up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he made around 20% of the movie's total budget.

After the movie broke even, he was given another check.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies earned more than 40 million dollars thanks to the back-end deals of the actors.

Thanks to the success of the "Pirates" sequels, including 2006's "Dead Man's Chest" which earned over $1 billion worldwide, Depp's earnings from the movies became sky high.

The actor made over 40 million dollars per sequel on the back of the movies. That doesn't include the base pay for each.

Not all of that ended up in the pocket of the actor. There are deductions for taxes and expenses for his agents and managers.

From there, the moneys grew bigger.

The deal for the movie was over 50 million dollars.

After taking a break from playing Captain Jack in 2010, he was back with Tim Burton for the latest version of "Alice in Wonderland."

The movie brought in over $1 billion at the box office, and he took in a huge $55 million backer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Thanks to the "Pirates" movies, "Alice" and "Into the Woods" (he played the Big Bad Wolf) all getting prime home entertainment releases and cable play, in 2016 and 2017, he took in over 25 million dollars in residuals.

He made Forbes' list of highest-paid celebrities. It was reported that he took in $48 million.

After losing a libel case against the publishers of the UK newspaper, The Sun, Johnny Depp was asked to step down from his role in " Fantastic Beasts 3."

He was paid his $16 million fee even though he didn't work on the movie because he had a "pay-or-play" deal on the movie.

He only shot one scene. Mads Mikkelsen was in charge of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.

The island in the Bahamas was purchased by the actor.

While filming "Curse of the Black Pearl" in 2003 the actor bought the island for 3.6 million dollars.

When he first purchased it, it had no housing at all, but has since been equipped with solar-powered buildings, including a house that has a panoramic view of the ocean.

He spent $5 million to destroy Hunter S. Thompson's remains.

The author was friends with the actor who played him in the movie "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas".

Thompson died in 2005. Thompson wanted his funeral to be an extravagant affair with his ashes being shot out of a cannon in the shape of a double thumbed fist and a red, white, and blue fireworks show to end the event.

He said he spent $5 million on his friend.

There were $2 million in monthly bills for the actor.

According to his former management firm, the actor spent $2 million a month on his bills.

The actor used to have to pay.

He told the Wall Street Journal that it was his money.

He said he would buy 15,000 cotton balls a day.

The actor's spending habits were revealed when he filed a lawsuit against his former business managers.

A year later, a settlement was achieved. There was no public information made public.

The defamation suit was won by the actor.

In response to an article she wrote for The Washington Post about her experience with domestic violence, Johnny Depp filed a defamation suit against her.

The article was thought to be about him, even though his name was not mentioned.

In the six weeks that the trial was going on, both Heard and Depp took the stand, and the jury awarded both of them millions of dollars.

The reward was reduced to comply with state limits for damages.

3 million dollars was sold in artwork.

After the verdict, he has been playing music more than making movies.

He probably won't get the kind of money he got before his legal battle with Heard, but he has a loyal following.

He announced on his social media accounts that he would be selling his artwork in England. The gallery's website crashed after all the pieces were sold.

The actor made over three million dollars.
