Some of the names on this list will probably have been a surprise to you. Although many of our best-known stars have been struggling with their money, they've largely been able to keep their misfortunes out of the headlines. Johnny Depp, as one of the biggest movie stars who ever lived, has had no such luck. As much as success has followed Depp throughout his career, so has scandal. His starring role in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films earned him hundreds of millions of dollars, but somehow Depp seems to have managed to spend the lot.
Because of a court case between himself and his former management company, who he believes have defrauded him, Depp's spending habits are now public knowledge. They include the purchase of a huge yacht, a record label which didn't make any money, and more than a million dollars per month on rare and exclusive wine from around the world. His management company says that his financial situation is all down to his overspending, and that's why he's more than forty million dollars in debt today.
