Am I ready?

Age 53. Am I ready to retire?

Income: $40 million per "Pirates" movie
Investments: I say $650 million but now my advisor reports $0
Real Estate: $50 to $60 million

Marital Status: uncertain, but several known Exs

Monthly Expenses
Yacht: $350,000
Assistants: $300,000
Wine: $30,000
Miscellaneous: $1.3 million

Back Taxes: Yes

"Johnny Depp: A Star in Crisis and the Insane Story of His 'Missing' Millions

"What happened to $650 million? An explosive legal battle between one of Hollywood's best-paid actors and the business managers he fired has laid bare tumultuous finances, outrageous spending and troubling behavior on Disney's new 'Pirates' movie in a case that could even change how the industry does business."

$650M or $0; Sounds like more than just a rounding error. Perhaps the difference reflects some fees charged by the financial advisor that got buried in the fine print.

Yet another example of why DIY investing can save you big bucks.

I can't imagine why this reminds me of the Into The Great Wide Open music video Depp did for Tom Petty in which Depp played the Rebel Without A Clue.

Could be a truncation error.😊
I actually saw one that truncated a billion dollar(just the high order digits) transaction back in the '90s. It was pretty embarrassing for all involved. It was patched quickly.
