After the ruling in favor of Johnny Depp, where it was stipulated that Amber Heard has to pay the actor 15 million dollars, it has been stated that the amount he will receive will be less due to a reduction in punitive damages to 350 thousand dollars, which is the limit in the state of Virginia and taking into account that Heard will also receive compensation of two million dollars.
However, the actor’s lawyers, Benjamin Chew and Camille Vasquez, hinted in an interview they gave for the program Today that Depp may not collect payment, insisting he is satisfied with his “total profit”.

It was never about money for Mr. Depp. It was about restoring his reputation and he has done it. It was unanimous: there were seven people who decided that he was defamed.
It should be remembered that Amber Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, revealed in an interview she gave for the same program that the actress does not have the means to pay damages to her ex-husband and that she has sufficient reasons to appeal. On the contrary, both can reach an agreement, where payments are simplified. If so, it would be done before June 24, the date on which the actress must pay the fine.
