Johnny Depp: Cool or Fool?

maybe skot?

Johnny Depp on Donald Trump: Crime or free speech?

He's starting to look an awful lot like Bob Dylan btw

is there anyone else on earth who wants to dress like this? he always has so much stuff hanging off of him. its so not cool but its 100% him so i guess there are points for consistency.

Never a bad idea to have a tea towel at hand all the time tbh

it's just odd because when he tones it down he's...johnny depp! an impossibly beautiful male model wearing million dollar clothes. but hey he's just being true to his spirit weirdo.

hrmmm he comes across as a fairly sad and lonely kinda credulous moron, how do you blow 650 million dollars? idk i hope he comes out okay although it seems like he doesn't treat himself very well

yeah i hope he comes out of this terrible trauma of earning 650 million dollars ok. fuck him, how many lives could that money have transformed?

how do you blow 650 mil? ...blow.

Asked what he thought about all the legal shenanigans, Depp shrugs. "I'm just a small part of this," he says. "It's the fucking Matrix. I didn't see the movie, and I didn't understand the script, but here's what it is."

yeah that part jumped out at me too

The use of "tuna fish and corn sandwiches" annoyed me so I did the research to make myself feel good.

Productive use of lunch break.

I think that there's this idea we all have that if we got super rich we wouldn't just magnify the small scale fuckups and poor financial decisions on a massive scale but we all probably would

Seems odd to give the exact address of Depp's London pad in the first para.

depp has never watched his movies, that's his operative

I think that there's this idea we all have that if we got super rich we wouldn't just magnify the small scale fuckups and poor financial decisions on a massive scale but we all probably would

I think this has been demonstrated again and again! The only people possibly immune are those sooooo rich that they wouldn't miss the millions of dollars no doubt being stolen from them all the time. For the rest, if you have, I dunno, $300 million, how in the world do you trust anyone, let alone to manage your money? I think they all make the mistake of hiring family - just think back to Billy Joel who was ripped off for like $90 in 1980s dollars - and then it gets even uglier. Plus when you have to hire people to buy things for you and pay bills - because when you're Johnny Depp or whomever you can't just go to Target - no one is going to tell you no or that you can't buy what you want with your money. Ask Nic Cage.

Really the key is to just to get a good, boring, professional, vetted accountant, which is maybe where the merits of this nebulous legal case lie: if you have hundreds of millions of dollars there *is* no reason you should lose it all short of being outright criminally scammed like Kevin Bacon. It's the job of an accountant to make sure you don't lose hundreds of millions of dollars, and it should be an easy job, therefore, if the accountant allows you to go broke then they must be doing something wrong.

I think that there's this idea we all have that if we got super rich we wouldn't just magnify the small scale fuckups and poor financial decisions on a massive scale but we all probably would

i am absolutely certain i'd be able to manage $650m without a hitch

of course there's no way to know for sure without trying, so if anyone has a spare two-thirds of a billion kicking around they'd like to offload, ilxmail me and let's get this valuable social experiment underway

Most people who find themselves diving into a Scrooge McDuck money pool after a run of luck end up hiring at least semi-competent help and avoiding too many consecutive bad bets. Depp seems to be unable to recognize his own role in any of his decisions.

Haven't they done this study, with lottery winners?

There was a study, I thought, that lottery winners are more likely to declare bankruptcy in 3-5 years than the average American.

http://fortune.com/2016/01/15/powerball-lottery-winners/

Those people were pre-selected from a pool of morons. They played the lottery.

pretty sure odds of winning the lottery are better than the odds of moving to Los Angeles to become a huge movie star.

Probably about the same. And?

having senescent Brando and HS Thompson as your confidantes is not the best move

xpost Exactly, we're dealing with a huge range of self-selecting morons.

I prefer to read that post as if it were not an xpost

people in general aren't good w their money. look at how national cc debt continues to climb.

also lol @ "semi competent help" yes will file that next to the semi competent contractors hired to do the carpet and fucked that up or the plumbers that took forever with your bathroom but no all that changes you win millions of dollars you become a finance expert able to scope out only honest accountants.

my millionaire fantasy is actually being able to hire an additional contractor to fix all the mistakes the first one made, and then a third one to fix the mistakes the second one made.

Fuck you, Adam.

not in the mood for your shit today

I was trying to figure out what "vintage wine" he drinks, and found this item yesterday from here:

"Depp also sports a tattoo proclaiming ‘Wino forever’, although the original wording was ‘Winona forever’ – a relic from previous girlfriend, actress Winona Ryder."

"Hey we're probably all feckless spendthrift dorks when you really think about it and you can tell because of how people on low incomes waste their money" is primo ilx save-a-wanker

Depp is at full Depardieu.

Seems odd to give the exact address of Depp's London pad in the first para.

It's a rental, not his home - he was there for a few weeks and has been gone for months.

Ok, Depp is mostly into bordeaux (or at least used to be). I looked it up too.

I won't bore you with tales of being greedy/I'm just into chugging bordeaux/I'm into chugging bordeaux

I could easily maintain a lifestyle of 2 bottles of $1-2k bottles a day.

i was speaking for myself sorry to have used the royal we and marred your fiscal reputation

I would do the same thing with $650 million that I currently with like $75,000, viz., shove it into Vanguard index funds

anyway this article was astounding, talking to the press is a mistake for almost everyone, especially famous people embroiled in multimilliondollar litigation who viciously abused their wife

damn silby ballin out

silby can I borrow $75,000

Wasn't especially thinking of your post upper miss but yeah I did misread it
