Despite being one of the highest paid actors in the world, Johnny Depp is in trouble. The actor's extravagant, over-the-top, pirate-like love of opulence has taken a toll on his wallet, sparking a lawsuit against his former managers for charges of negligence and fraud, followed by a subsequent cross-complaint that alleges despite his former managers' best efforts, Depp had refused to stop his "selfish, reckless, and irresponsible lifestyle."

Regardless of who the court ultimately decides is right, Depp's purchases certainly raise eyebrows, Vanity Fair writes. From the 40 full-time employees he reportedly has at his beck and call to his decision to purchase an $8.75 million steam-powered replica yacht in need of $8 million worth of refurbishment, Depp apparently sheds money with an enthusiasm that would make Donald Trump blush.
