Previously, upon hearing the name of the renowned actor Johnny Depp, one would remember all the great work he has been a part of in his career in Hollywood, including thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise. Unfortunately, now one cannot help but link his name to the ordeal that was the defamation case. Following his split with Amber Heard, the actor did everything he could to erase his ex-wife from his life.
This included selling the private island that he purchased for $3.6 million in 2004. The island had everything Johnny Depp wanted for a perfect getaway location, including being just 60 miles away from the Bahaman capital of Nassau. However, all of that ended up biting the dust as Amber Heard’s troubling memories were too much to handle.

The private island whichJohnny Deppfell head over heels for in 2004 had been spotted by him during the filming ofPirates of the Caribbean.When Depp’s gaze first fell on the little heaven on earth, there was not a single piece of infrastructure on the island. Depp changed that after he bought the island, making a house with a 36- degree view and a few other things. The island has six beaches each of which was named by Depp after something he loved. This was the place Depp went when he was in need of healing after his problems with drug abuse.
However, all of the good memories combined weren’t enough to deter Depp from selling his private island. The ghosts of his relationship withAmber Heardwere simply too much. The private island he once bought for just $3.6 million, went on sale by Vladi Private Islands and ended up going for a whopping $75 million, making Depp a profit of $72 million. Reportedly, the new owner of Hall’s Pond Cay is none other than theHarry Potterauthor,J.K. Rowling.

J.K. Rowling Buys Johnny Depp’s Yacht
Depp’s former yacht was named ‘Vajoliroja’, combining the names of him, his then-girlfriend,Vanessa Paradis, and their two children, Lily-Rose, and Jack. However, when he married Heard in 2015, he renamed the boat ‘Amphitrite.’
The yacht was also involved in the Depp vs. Heard court case where the latter accused the former of slamming her against the wall of the yacht’s cabin. After the pair split, Depp sold the yacht to an American shipping magnate, and then from there, Rowling became the proud owner of it for $28.9 million. After just a few months of purchasing the yacht, it was again put on the market for $19.2 million. The yacht is now under a US businessman and is called, ‘Arriva.’ The yacht has certainly swam a lot of water!
