5 juill. 2011 - REUTERS Johnny Depp's "Pirates" booty nearing $350 million

Description:

Johnny Depp has gained more than a pirate’s ransom for playing Jack Sparrow in the four “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, TheWrap has learned.

He’s earned close to $350 million from the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced franchise, according to an individual with knowledge of his deals.

Disney disputed the sum, calling it “highly inaccurate” but declined to provide any details.

Another individual close to the franchise said the number was closer to $280 million for the four Pirates combined.

Either way, it’s a stunning amount of cash for a single actor in a movie – Depp does not have so much as an executive producer credit. But as one person close to the franchise told TheWrap, “He’s earned every penny.”

With the fourth installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” passing the billion-dollar mark at the global box office over the weekend, the haul makes Depp the highest-paid actor in recent Hollywood history.
