In a booze and drug fuelled interview that lasted 72 hours, the 55-year-old star candidly discussed his financial woes.
The Hollywood star is suing his financial management company for allegedly causing him to go into debt. But they're countersued him with claims that Depp suffered from a "compulsive spending disorder", and that they tried to help him.
And now in a new interview with Rolling Stone, which was conducted over 72 hours while Depp drank and smoked hash, the star discussed rumours about his lavish spending habits.
It was claimed he was spending a staggering $30k a month alone on wine. But he's now dismissed this. "It's insulting to say that I spent $30,000 on wine. Because it was far more," he tells Rolling Stone, giving them an estimate of $50k.
It was also rumoured that he spent a whopping $3m on shooting Hunter S Thompson's ashes into space. Again, he claims the real figure was much higher.
"It was $5 million," he claims.
