Johnny Depp’s spending is even more insane than anyone knew

Johnny Depp wants to make one thing clear: He spends more than $30,000 a month on wine.
“It’s insulting to say that I spent $30,000 on wine,” Depp, 55,
scoffed to Rolling Stone in an interview released Thursday. “Because it was far more.”
The beleaguered “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was referring to his ex-managers’ lawsuit against him, in which they
alleged that his overspending included $30,000 a month on wine.
The Management Group (TMG) also alleged that Depp blew $200,000 a month on private planes, $150,000 a month on around-the-clock security, and $300,000 a month to maintain a staff of 40 people, as well as $18 million on a yacht,
$4 million on a failed record label and $3 million to shoot Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon.
He doesn’t dispute many of the numbers, but took issue with the cannon cost.
“It was not $3 million to shoot Hunter into the f—king sky,” he fumed. “It was $5 million.”
Depp insisted that it cost $2 million more because he wanted to launch the late author’s remains higher than the 151-foot height of the Statue of Liberty, though Rolling Stone reports that Depp may have flubbed the $5 million number, as most recorded documents list the price at $3 million.
The actor also somewhat confirmed
reports that he has lines fed to him in an earpiece on film sets.
