However, where do the NBA stars stand in front of a megastar like Johnny Depp, who is an undisputed legend of the field he works in? For the comparison to be fair, comparing him with Stephen Curry and LeBron James seems only fitting.

Johnny Depp vs Stephen Curry vs LeBron James – a comparison between net worths

Johnny Depp started as a musician and then ventured into acting. Depp’s lifestyle and enormous monthly expenditures drove him to spend a staggering $650 million from 2013 to 2016, according to a lawsuit against his previous business managers. His divorce from Heard, whom he divorced in 2017 for a $7 million payout, and the split from his children’s mother, Vanessa Paradis, have resulted in financial losses for him.

Despite having squandered $650 million over 13 years, mostly because the actor makes approximately $20 million per movie, Johnny Depp’s net worth in 2022 is predicted to be $150 million by Celebrity Net Worth.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Steph Curry’s net worth is estimated to be $160 million. In his first 10 years in the league, Stephen Curry earned $130 million as his salary from the NBA and $150 million in endorsements. In 2017, he signed a five-year $206.8 million deal with the Golden State Warriors. It was the largest contract signed by a player at the time. On August 4, 2021, Steph Curry signed a 4-year $215 million extension with the Warriors.
