He has been part of several blockbuster films, including the Pirates of the Caribbean series, where he played Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp's base pay for each Pirates of the Caribbean film was $20 million, and he also received a substantial share of the back-end profits. For his role in Alice in Wonderland, Depp earned an additional $55 million on the back end due to the film's strong box office performance.\n\nApart from his acting career, Depp has also pursued other ventures, such as his partnership with Dior. He has been the face of the Dior Sauvage fragrance for men, earning a reported $3 million to $5 million in the deal. More recently, Depp signed a seven-figure, multi-year deal with Dior.\n\nDepp has also indulged in luxury living, with expenses including a $2 million monthly bill. He has spent $5 million for a friend's funeral, fulfilling the wishes of author Hunter S. Thompson, who aspired to have his ashes shot out of a cannon during his burial.
