Johnny Depp's Car Collection Is Truly Stunning

Johnny Depp might have rocketed to stardom as one of the most high-profile actors of his generation, but in recent years, he's drawn countless headlines thanks to his high-profile split (and resulting lawsuits) from ex-partner Amber Heard. In June 2022, a court ruled in Depp's favor in his defamation case, awarding him $15 million in damages against Ms. Heard, although also awarding her $2 million in a countersuit. The fallout from the case is still ongoing, with Heard claiming she'd been unfairly treated by both the jury and the media who reported on the trials.

The accusations made by both sides shocked onlookers across the country and around the world, but Depp's long-running trial proceedings did give a glimpse behind the curtain of the usually very secretive world of the Hollywood elite. Among those insights was the revelation that Depp used his huge income to maintain "at least 45 luxury vehicles," as well as spending millions on mansions, staff, and $30,000 each month on fine wines. Although, Depp argued that "it [was] insulting to say that [he] spent $30,000 on wine" as he spent "far more" than that. It turns out Depp is also quite the petrolhead, with a collection of cars that matches his eclectic personality. While he has never revealed the full extent of what's hidden away in his garage, even the few vehicles that he has been spotted driving are enough to make any Hollywood wannabes green with envy.

Moving from a car he rarely drives to one that's the exact opposite, Depp's Rolls-Royce Wraith is allegedly one of his favorite vehicles. The Wraith is the Rolls-Royce for people who want to drive, rather than to be driven, as it only has two doors and sports a more athletic handling profile than other models in the brand's lineup. SlashGear drove the Wraith in 2016 and called just sitting in it "an event in and of itself," with its huge 17-foot silhouette turning heads wherever it went.

With a starting price that sits well north of $300,000, the Wraith is reserved for only the wealthiest driving enthusiasts, yet its 624 horsepower V12 engine has a very universal appeal to anyone that appreciates putting the pedal to the metal. It's still a refined beast, but it's a beast nonetheless, with our tester able to get into triple-digit speeds on the highway without the Rolls even breaking a sweat. The car is aimed at a younger, cooler audience than the brand's other models, so it makes sense that the famously fashion-conscious Depp would have one tucked away in his garage.

While he's now in possession of more houses and cars than he could ever want, Depp's career wasn't always so well-paid. When he was just starting out as an actor, he reportedly had to live in his first car, a 1969 Chevrolet Nova. The Nova is now considered a classic muscle car, but back in the '90s when Depp was just starting out, it was simply old, and therefore cheap. Depp needed something he could afford, and the Nova became not only his primary means of transport but also allegedly his home for a while.

MotorBiscuit reports that he hasn't been seen driving the car for years, but there have never been any reports of him selling it, and it seems unlikely that he would. After all, his first car played such an instrumental part in his rise to fame that it seems impossible that he'd be willing to part with it. If he did, it would likely become a hotly-contested collector's item, presumably fetching an eye-watering sum at auction like so many A-listers' cars tend to.

Before Johnny Depp's divorce from Amber Heard became so highly publicized, Heard sought a settlement from Depp that, if her demands were met, would keep the whole affair "out of the spotlight." These demands included $100,000 in cash, three of Depp's Hollywood penthouses, and exclusive use of the couple's 2015 Range Rover. It appears that Depp did not agree to the deal, although he eventually conceded a total of $7 million, two dogs, and a horse as part of the divorce. The Range Rover, however, remained in his possession.

While it wasn't clear exactly what spec the Depp/Heard Range Rover was, it was likely to be one of the brand's higher-end models, which means it likely came with an asking price of more than $100,000. Hopefully, it wasn't one of the few 2015 models that were affected by a strange software bug that could cause the doors to randomly fly open while driving. A recall was issued and the bug was supposedly rectified, but still, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the build quality of the rest of the car.

It's hard to think of a performance car that's as universally loved as the 911. It's been in constant production for 58 years, and in that time, the company has sold over one million examples. If the rumors are to be believed, Porsche's flagship model is destined to become electric within the next 10 years, although it remains to be seen whether this new generation of the car will be as successful as those before it. Every era of the 911 has its fans, but the 993 is one of the best-loved iterations of the car, and it's the one that Johnny Depp is also a personal fan of.

He's been pictured with his 993 Carrera S a number of times, although like his '59 Corvette, in recent years, it hasn't made any public appearances. The car makes 281 horsepower, not a huge amount by modern standards, in fact, even a top-spec Toyota Camry now makes more. But, it's not about all-out power, but rather about how the car feels to drive, and enthusiasts agree that the 993 is one of the most engaging cars of its era.

Alongside his fleet of other luxury vehicles, Depp reportedly keeps a BMW 7 Series for when he fancies being chauffeured about in something a little different. A new generation of the 7 Series recently debuted and promises a more varied range than ever, with the first all-electric 7 Series model launching for the 2023 model year. There are also two upcoming M cars set to launch within the range later in 2023, one all-electric and the other a hybrid. Alongside its upgrade in performance, the new 7 Series also gets plenty of fresh tech, with a particular highlight being the optional 31-inch Theater Screen that drops down from the roof and gives rear-seat passengers a cinematic screen on which to stream content of their choice.

The car also comes with a number of optional upgrades including the Sky Lounge and Executive Lounge packages, which add an LED roof and a high-end reclining seat, respectively. Now that Depp has, in his words, got "his life back" after his intensely scrutinized trial, he's free to carry on splashing the cash on his extravagant lifestyle without a care in the world. Perhaps he could spend some of that cash on upgrading his 7 Series to a new model to make the most of the 2023 car's new perks and features.
