Amber Heard’s well-publicized financial woes may soon become a lifeline. According to a number of reports, the actress’ previously reported memoir telling all about her disastrous marriage to Johnny Depp has sparked a bidding war within the publishing industry. Publishers seem to be vying for the rights to publish the book. Bids can reach…
15 million dollars
As you probably know, Amber Heard is currently in a bind for about $8.35 million in damages after losing in court to Depp. As per our stats, her net worth was between $1-2.5 million before the verdict. Hence our estimation that immediately after the ruling, Amber Heard’s net worth was technically negative.
Achieving a $15 million written deal would do wonders for Amber’s financial situation, even if she was eventually required to pay Johnny’s entire $8.35 million debt.

Amber’s potential book is rumored to be a “revenge book,” but any such venture would face significant legal challenges not to end up in court for denigrating Depp again. As a previous source said OK! Magazine, Heard feels she has “nothing to lose” plus is “in no position to turn down money,” which is a perfect storm for a sexy memoir. The source continued:
“Amber considers her Hollywood career to be over. She’s already having conversations and she’s excited about it. At this point, she has nothing to lose and wants to tell everyone.”
Publishers competing for Heard’s book are not mentioned in the report, but you can assume that with a price point of $15 million, the bidding is among the top publishers with big pockets.
Heard and her team have declined to comment publicly on the possibility so far.
