He earned $45,000 per episode on Fox’s 21 Jump Street, where he portrayed Officer Thomas “Tom” Hanson for four seasons from 1987 to 1990, according to Celebrity Net Worth. According to the website, he made $5 million for Nick of Time in 1995 and another $5 million for Donnie Brasco in 1997.
Meanwhile, in 2012, Johnny Depp began dating Amber Heard, whom he married in 2015 without a prenuptial agreement. A temporary restraining order against Johnny Depp was granted to Heard in 2016 after she filed for divorce, claiming that he often verbally and physically attacked her while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Heard and Depp’s divorce was completed in 2017 after a settlement was agreed in 2016.
In light of her “married lifestyle,” E! News reports that Heard requested $50,000 in spousal support from Depp each month. However, her counsel subsequently rescinded that request. Depp and Heard also agreed to a $7 million divorce settlement, TMZ reports. In honor of Heard, Depp donated a portion of the money to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
To complete the settlement, he agreed to pay Heard the remaining $6.8 million over a 15-month period beginning in December 2016. Her ex-husband Johnny Depp “should respect the whole amount” by giving $14 million to charity, which “after accounting for his tax deduction, is equivalent to his $7 million payment obligation to Amber,” said a spokesman for Heard in a statement to E! News.
