Amber Heard Sells Home in Desert as $8M Johnny Depp Debt looms

Almost two months after Johnny Depp won his libel case against Amber Heard, the actress has quietly sold her California desert oasis, The Post confirms.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom Yucca Valley estate, which sits on 6 acres of California land, was sold off-market.

Ownership records show that the home traded for $1.05 million on July 18.

New Jersey-based Rickard and Carol-Jeanette Jorgensen, who also own Nevada real estate and are founders of Jorgensen & Company LLC, are the new owners, The Post has learned.

It’s unclear how the Jorgensen’s discovered the off-market home or if there’s a direct connection to Heard. The Post has reached out for comment.

Covering over 2,450 square feet, the previous listing described the estate as “the opportunity to own a once in a lifetime property.”

The compound offers rock, mountain and desert views and comes with a 110-foot built bridge, leading to a gazebo on the mountainside.

Amber Heard posts an Instagram photo in her Yucca Valley home on February 11, 2022 showing the custom-built 110-foot bridge.

Features include solid iron front doors, a kitchen with a double griddle, and wiring for the surround stereo system throughout the house.

The primary bedroom features double walk-in closets and large stone double sinks, plus a full bath.

Meanwhile, the garage covers about 1,200 square meters.

Heard, 36, bought the house in 2019 for $570,000. She walks away with a hefty profit.

But given the $8.3 million she had to pay Depp after she was found guilty of defamation by a jury, every cent helps.

Overall, the “Aquaman” actress was asked to pay $10 million in damages, plus $350,000 in punitive damages.

After the counter-charge she filed, in which Depp was ordered to pay $2 million and Virginia’s maximum damages, Heard must pay a total of $5 million – money she says she doesn’t have.

And she can kick herself for that now.

Recently unlocked court documents now show Heard ran away from a divorce payout that could have run into tens of millions of dollars.

Documents obtained by The Post show that Heard turned down attorney requests for half of Depp’s $33 million he earned filming the fourth episode of “Pirates of the Caribbean” because it was made while they were married.

In an email submitted to the court, Heard wrote of her decision not to pursue $16.5 million, writing that she was “amazingly true to (her) word, that this isn’t about the money.” .”

The email exchange never made it to trial, as a judge refused to admit that evidence during the defamation trial.

The Post has reached out to Heard’s representatives for comment.
