There was a successful pairing between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. However, now it has changed course and their dirty laundry is playing out in real-time all over the world. We don’t know whether it is real or a way to get each back into the limelight. However, the court case has proven to be entertainment on a level that has, at times, even had the judge laugh. Amber appears to have her heart set on acquiring one of Johnny Depp’s Los Angeles Penthouse.
Johnny Depp’s Rise to Fame:
Known for being a somewhat dark, idiosyncratic actor, Johnny Depp has followed his instincts in his choice of parts since his first role in Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984. A Florida high school dropout at age 15, he played in several garage bands and married early. When he and his new wife took a trip to Los Angeles. It was there that Nicolas Cage suggested he go into acting. This led to his first film role and quick successes in Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and the Pirates of the Caribbean series. He then moved on to more serious parts portraying drug and gangster criminals in Blow, Public Enemies, and Black Mass.
Depp is one of Hollywood’s best actors and box office stars with Golden Globe and Screen Actors’ Guild Awards. He has made headlines for his movies, love life, and his interesting real estate holdings. One of these includes an island in the Bahamas. He was, at various times engaged to Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder, and Kate Moss. Depp also had a long relationship with French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis. During his Paradis years, he purchased an entire French village which was recently on the market at $55.5 million. After he split with Vanessa, he married Amber Heard in 2015 but divorced just one year later. Listed after the $7 million divorce settlement with Heard is Depp’s unique collection of penthouses in downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Penthouse:
Depp acquired the five multi-storied, side-by-side Los Angeles Penthouse units over several years. The building had been refurbished in 2007. Decorated in his unique style, he never joined the units, but instead lived in them as though going from room to room, or lent to relatives to use. We don’t whether it was a conscious real estate business decision or a happy fluke. However, this means that the collection of units can be resold as a whole or individually. The group includes five condo units: four two-bedrooms and a one-bedroom, totaling approximately 11,500 square feet. Claud Beelman designed the 13-story Eastern Columbia Building in 1930, considered to be one of the city’s best examples of Art Deco architecture still standing.
Johnny Depp’s collection of five penthouses in the famous Los Angeles Eastern Columbia building was available in 2016 as a group for $12.78 million; they are not currently on the market.
