As one of the industry's highest-paid actors, Depp was used to a high-rolling lifestyle, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, his spending reached "crisis point" in 2012, with monthly bills reaching $2 million. When his accountant and business manager, Joel Mandel, brought this to Depp's attention, he was allegedly fired.

"Without a fire sale, Depp would never be able to meet his obligations," THR reported. "Not the payments on his portfolio of real estate around the world. Not the impulse purchases such as the three Leonor Fini paintings he had bought from a Manhattan gallery ... Not the $3.6 million he paid annually for his 40-person staff. Not the $350,000 he laid out each month to maintain his 156-foot yacht. And not the hundreds of thousands of dollars he paid to sustain his ex-partner, Vanessa Paradis, and their children, Lily-Rose and Jack."

Depp launched a $25 million lawsuit in 2017 against Mandel and his TMG group for negligence and fraud, claiming they pocketed millions in contingent fees without his consent. TMG counter-sued, claiming "Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today."
