The actor has renewed his contract he signed in 2015 with the luxury brand. The previous record was $ 12 million, held by actor Robert Pattinson, already with Dior.
Brad Pitt and Chanel had signed a $7 million contract. Normally, male celebrities earn between $2 million and $4 million a year for this kind of contract, an industry insider told Variety. The signing of this contract may surprise as Johnny Depp has found himself in turmoil in recent months. The star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" found herself in a high-profile trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
