Johnny Depp’s former $3.6 million Bahamas island is a 45-acre paradise surrounded by 6 beaches, a lagoon and much more
Johnny Depp is one of the most loved actors around the world, despite his involvement in various legal battles. While his recent slander fight with ex-wife Amber Heard was in the news, the actor hasn’t had many theatrical releases. Despite this, the actor has an impressive network and owns some expensive properties, vehicles and even an island at one point.
And today we talk to you about Johnny’s private island in the Bahamas. FYI, the island is now owned by author JK Rowling, as she bought it from the actor in 2016 for $75 million. Read on to get to know the whole island and the different things it has.
As reported by Tuko, Johnny Depp acquired the remote private island in the Bahamas in 2004 for a whopping $3.6 million. Johnny Depp’s Island, popularly known as Little Halls Pond Cay, it is said that the actor bought an island, about 18 hectares (45 acres), because he was fascinated with the island while filming the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.
Located in the Exuma Land and Sea Park Protected Area of the Bahamas, this island borders the homes and properties of famous celebrities such as Eddie Murphy and David Copperfield. This island had sentimental value for Johnny Deep, as it was on one of the six beaches that the actor married his wife Amber heard. This private location served as Depp’s place to unwind and blow his troubles away. In addition to serving as his wedding venue, this property is also said to have hosted the cast crew of the Caribbean series.
The ‘Edward Scissorhands’ actor had a deep connection with the island and its creatures and even named a few – like Iggy the friendly iguana he called Iggy.
Speaking of Johnny Depp’s Island, it features a ranch-style home with stunning 360-degree views of the island. The entrance has a beautiful main house, a two bedroom yurt, a beach house and a one bedroom roundhouse. It also has six beautiful white-sand beaches, a lagoon surrounded by palm trees, and solar-powered accommodations, including a beach house and a bamboo yurt.
The six beaches are named after people who are very special to him: his former wife, Vanessa Paradis, his children Lily-Rose Melody and Jack and his idols, Hunter S. Thompson (Gonzo Beach) and Marlon Brando (Brando Beach) .
Johnny Depp also once owned a yacht – which cost a whopping $8 million – to help him get to the island better. However, he sold the vehicle because of the high maintenance – allegedly the monthly maintenance costs $400,000 sometimes. Johnny sold the island JK Rowling in 2016 for $75 million. The reason for this would be that it bothered him with memories of his ex-wife Amber Heard.
