No one is asking you to be.

The least he could do is hire a personal trainer. The aging bloated (alcoholic?) face is a bad look.

So, if someone steals, oh, I don't know, $5000 or $10,000 from you. How would you feel if everyone around you just said "sell one of your cars to cover the loss. go ahead. If you just sold a car or a sofa you'd be whole again" That's not the point. It's his money and he shouldn't have to sell anything to get his money back

True, but there is no telling when or if he may recover money that may have been stolen depending on the courts. Principles don't pay debts. When you need money in the present and you have stuff, it's a no-brainer, sell stuff. Apparently his horse farm is still for sale after it failed to sell at auction last year, but he supposedly owns 14 luxury homes across the globe, 40 cars, boats, a massive guitar collection and storage units full of stuff. He also spends a chunk of money supporting his family. He may not want to or should not have to get rid of stuff, but multi-million dollar earning celebs aren't immune to doing what they have to in order to pay some bills.

Did you skip the part where some of his family (mainly a sister) may be part of the problem?

This guy had tons of resources. He could have hired a firm to audit and oversee his managers. But he didn't do that. Instead he surrounded himself with "yes men", people who told him what he wanted to hear and he blew through his fortune. Did his managers also overcompensate themselves? Probably.

And he continues to spend money that he doesn't have. There are no way to make the numbers work on his accounts, the dude is in financial trouble. And honestly I really don't care because he had to work pretty hard to blow through that enormous fortune of his. If he's broke, he's broke. Is what it is.

I know, what I'm saying is that one of his sisters appears to be part of the problem insofar as overcompensating herself.

Why did he give his sister access to his money and if he was too clueless to understand that he was burning through his money like an out of control forest fire why would she be any less clueless than he was?

Firstly, everything I'm writing here I learned from actually reading the article so maybe that would help... that said, it says that sister Christi was his day-to-day manager from the beginning who more recently received $7mil from TMG that Depp didn't know about or authorize, and another sister and her family seem to have moved into his mom's house and was spending money he also didn't know about.

While I agree that he should have a better grasp of his affairs, I'm just saying if he trusted manager sister Christi that may be part of the problem as it looks like she was skimming or in cahoots with TMG.

Then he has been careless with his money and so have his family members. But even her skimming 7 million of his 650 million doesn't explain where the other 643 million went.

Real estate (multiple homes plus Brando-esque private island), car services and private air travel, $30,000 a month for booze, $Xmil for shooting Hunter Thompson's ashes from a cannon, etc., plus the managers and family members skimming. I agree that it's ultimately his fault for being so careless but it's not a mystery at all where it all went if you read the article.
