Johnny Depp has been going through financial hurdles in the last few weeks, but according to his ex-business managers, he has no one to blame but himself. We’re talking a $2 million/month lifestyle, according to reports!

Johnny sued his ex business team (The Management Group) for $25 million earlier this month in a fraud lawsuit. And in a cross-complaint, the defendants claim that the Pirates of the Caribbean star lived an “ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost Depp in excess of $2 million per month to maintain, which he simply could not afford.”

Depp’s lawyer claims in the lawsuit,  “As a result of years of gross mismanagement and sometimes outright fraud, Mr. Depp lost tens of millions of dollars and has been forced to dispose of significant assets to pay for TMG’s self-dealing and gross misconduct.”

According to documents obtained by People, TMG said Johnny needs to pay them over $560,000 in allegedly unpaid commissions and credit card fees. They also apparently repeatedly warned the actor of his over-spending habits.

But Depp’s lawyers see it differently. They write, “In essence, TMG treated Mr. Depp’s income as their own, available to either TMG or third parties to draw upon as desired.”

Here is what the counter-complaint says Depp spent (as obtained by People):

  • Over $75 million on 14 residences, including a 45-acre chateau in the South of France, a chain of islands in the Bahamas, multiple houses in Hollywood, several penthouse lofts in downtown Los Angeles and a horse farm in Kentucky.
  • $18 million to “acquire and renovate a 150 foot luxury yacht.”
  • Millions more buying and maintaining 45 luxury vehicles.
  • $30,000 per month on expensive wines flown from all over the world.
  • $3 million to blast the ashes of Hunter S. Thompson out of a custom-made cannon in Aspen, Colorado.
  • Tens of millions on “a massive and extremely expensive art collection,” including “world class jewelry,” about 70 collectible guitars and over 200 works by artists such as Warhol, Klimt, Basquiat, and Modigliani.
  • Millions on collectibles and memorabilia involving icons such as Marilyn Monroe, John Dillinger and Marlon Brando. The collection is so extensive it fills “12 storage facilities” and cost over $1 million just to archive.
  • $300,000 per month on 40 full-time employees.
  • $150,000 per month on full-time security guards that protect him and his family “24/7, 365 days a year” wherever they go.
  • $200,000 per month on private planes.
  • $10 million over the years on supporting various friends and family, including $4 million invested into a failed music label run by a friend.
