I don't see Sheep dip Johnny Depp's name anywhere in the article except the title. Did I miss it or is including him a mistake?

If he is bankrupt, how can we celebrate?

Click on the link and read the rest of the article.

“Depp recently told Rolling Stone his $650 million fortune is wiped out. A lawsuit filed by Depp’s management team — since settled — alleged that Depp spent $2 million per month on private planes, a yacht, a 24/7 staff of 40 people (including $150,000 per month on security), his private island, $4 million in total on a failed record label, $3 million to shoot the ashes of late friend Hunter S. Thompson out of a cannon, and $30,000 per month spent on wine.”

These stories are no different than the professional athletes(50% of NBA players, etc.) that go broke after making millions. I see it in a smaller scale in the business that I am in. Here, people make six figure incomes. Some go out and buy a Porsche, etc. They take fancy vacations. They buy big houses. Then they have a bad year and they are almost broke.

On the other hand there are people like Wayne Rogers who played “Trapper John” on the MASH television series. He was a very good investor. In his later years he was featured on Fox’s Bulls and Bears because of his investing expertise.

Just because you can sing, dance, act or play a sport does not mean you can handle money. It is no different than the person who makes $50K a year but has $35K in credit card debt.

Today’s version of Reynolds is Johnny Depp, who remains one of the biggest movie stars in the world and yet is now broke. Depp recently told Rolling Stone his $650 million fortune is wiped out. A lawsuit filed by Depp’s management team — since settled — alleged that Depp spent $2 million per month on private planes, a yacht, a 24/7 staff of 40 people (including $150,000 per month on security), his private island, $4 million in total on a failed record label, $3 million to shoot the ashes of late friend Hunter S. Thompson out of a cannon, and $30,000 per month spent on wine.

Depp took exception to the latter.

“It’s insulting to say that I spent $30,000 on wine,” he told Rolling Stone. “Because it was far more.”

???? You missed this? LOL.

I see you did not click the NY Post link to read the entire article (I only posted an excerpt).

Apparently, Johnny Depp thinks nothing of drinking a three thousand dollar bottle of exotic wine for dinner.
