Moneybags:
Depp commands $20m per film and is thought to have a fortune of several hundred million dollars
Johnny Depp has announced that he wants to buy Wounded Knee, a national historic landmark, and give it back to the Indian people. In an interview with the Mail On Sunday, the actor revealed that he is ready to spend millions in order to give the Native American people control of the land that was the site of a brutal 1890 massacre. ‘It’s very sacred ground and many atrocities were committed against the Sioux there,’ he said in the interview.
The $3.9 million price tag on the site of the Wounded Knee massacre is steep — but a fraction of Johnny Depp’s paycheck from The Lone Ranger.
