- NYConcepts, on 06/02/2009, -5/+383I don't even own a *****' car.
- chadsmith729, on 06/02/2009, -1/+291Johnny Depp makes movies that do rather well, and I don't.
- DrHillbert, on 06/02/2009, -3/+185In 2007 he dressed up as Captain Jack and spent four hours telling stories to the kids in a children's hospital. Also donated £1,000,000 to the same hospital. All in secret (for a bit, it came out eventually)
A top chap. - alanocu, on 06/02/2009, -8/+174Among his peers, Johnny is well-deserving of a tropical paradise. His movies are solid. He never disappoints. The only thing missing on his resume is a 21 Jump Street reunion. When are we going see Johnny and Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson go undercover again and help troubled youths; followed immediately by a public service announcements featuring cast members?
- godfly, on 06/02/2009, -0/+148So where are the pictures?
- TheMachine1, on 06/02/2009, -6/+110I would like to have a bromance with Johnny.
- marmotjmarmot, on 06/02/2009, -0/+95So What?! I've got a....well, I dated....mmmh. I've got nothing.
- diceau, on 06/02/2009, -2/+95ZOMG JOHNNY DEPP TUK ER JERRRRBS!
- ModernDayDarwin, on 06/02/2009, -7/+95Actually if you posted an article about a self made man that worked his way up to CEO of a successful corporation and is running it well with all of his employes happy, then chances are it would get high praise on Digg. People on Digg, and in the world in general, don't like people that don't get what they have coming to them. Like CEO's that run companies into the ground. They don't get what they have coming to them because that would be an eternity of water boarding. Keep it in perspective.
- fahrvergnuugen, on 06/02/2009, -2/+74Dugg for Gonzo Beach.
- prabjot, on 06/02/2009, -1/+73To read the complete article, pick up the July issue of Vanity Fair, which is on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on June 3, nationwide on June 9.
/Yeah right! - fafaforza, on 06/02/2009, -0/+67Sort of reminds me of Moe being given a lie detector test when Burns was shot.
cops: Alright sir you’re free to go.
Moe: Good 'cause I've got a hot date tonight
bzzt
Moe: A date
bzzt
Moe: Dinner with friends
bzzt
Moe: Dinner alone
bzzt
Moe: Alright… i’m going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalogue
bzzt
Moe: Sears catalogue
ding!
Moe: Now would you unhook me please, I don’t deserve this kind of shabby treatment.
bzzt - rockstar1o9, on 06/02/2009, -4/+70If only that yacht is named the Black Pearl...
- magneteye, on 06/02/2009, -2/+67The dude has been busting his ass in the acting game for over 20 years.... and he has kept himself fairly "normal" as Hollywood goes, and I think he deserves all that he has. Seems like a pretty decent man.
- fr1234, on 06/02/2009, -6/+65Don't get me wrong, I like Johnny Depp and it's nice that he has his own island but front page?? It's just an ad for the next issue of Vanity Fair.
- RicardoWilliams, on 06/02/2009, -4/+61Damn. his life and career are borderline perfect.
- galore, on 06/02/2009, -0/+57I own a 0.75 acre private lot in the city and Johnny Depp doesn't !!
- evilregis, on 06/02/2009, -0/+44I'm jealous. I have to own one. Wish I didn't. ***** money pit.
- Biscuitz, on 06/02/2009, -3/+44I'm disappointed that there are no pictures.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. - charlietuna, on 06/02/2009, -0/+38I like the guy, I really do. Nailed Kate Moss, unnaturally handsome, full head of hair, owns an island, yeah. Not jealous... not at all.
I need a drink. - Namakemono, on 06/02/2009, -0/+37In your pooper.
- DankBuddz, on 06/02/2009, -0/+37All in secret, that's the part that counts. What a respectable guy.
- cLamm, on 06/02/2009, -5/+42yeah, he is easily one of the greatest actors of our generation.
- borez, on 06/02/2009, -0/+36Some pictures would have been ***** nice.
- Niubai, on 06/02/2009, -0/+36Google map of his island, anyone ?
- Greengoo, on 06/02/2009, -0/+35Private island? Well *my* girlfriend has cancer.
*****. - diggopolous, on 06/02/2009, -8/+40Now that you know where his island is, maybe you can sail there and kiss his ass personally.
- Stinger007, on 06/02/2009, -0/+32Yes.. but why is the rum gone!?
- chockster, on 06/02/2009, -0/+32Well, I can only speak for myself. But I don't hate someone like Richard Branson for that tropical island he owns (one of the few episodes of Cribs I ever watched...). As ModernDayDarwin says, the guy built up an empire from nothing. He is totally deserving.
The CEO of General Motors? Not so much. - BlackOculus, on 06/02/2009, -1/+31I can walk in the mall without getting swarmed by people and he can't.
- BallaShoes, on 06/02/2009, -1/+31http://digg.com/celebrity/Johnny_Depp_s_Private_Is ...
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&ll=2 ... - mrzisme, on 06/02/2009, -0/+27but he parks his inside a super model, and you dont
- Maxwell1234, on 06/02/2009, -0/+26We have to go back!!!
- DankBuddz, on 06/02/2009, -0/+26Why would he want to walk around in a mall?
- RealmDown, on 06/02/2009, -1/+24When CEO's speak you can *tell* it's method acting. That's the difference.
- overridemymind, on 06/02/2009, -4/+27Wow. Simply ***** wow. You're trying to politicize an article about Johnny Depp owning a ***** island.
Un-frigging-believable. - fr3ddie, on 06/02/2009, -1/+23rofl... nobody buys magazines anymore.
- ifruit, on 06/02/2009, -0/+21Everyone has the write to own an eyeland.
- FeloniusMonkey, on 06/02/2009, -3/+22Sweeney Todd? Chocolate Factory? Even if you don't like these movies, how could you say that Johnny Depp is the reason they sucked? Those movies would have done far worse without him.
- solmakou, on 06/02/2009, -0/+17Because when you are on your own private island no one can hear your wife cry for help.
- Myonosken, on 06/02/2009, -0/+17@Felonious, @ Diggopolous: FOR ***** SAKES. It's COULDN'T give two *****.
- Dewhead, on 06/02/2009, -5/+22He is talented and he worked for it. Good for him. I hope he enjoys every penny he spends on whatever he wants to spend it on.
- 1iProd, on 06/02/2009, -0/+16YLIA
- frostbyt, on 06/02/2009, -6/+22Get off the internets and go gets a job.
- moxley, on 06/02/2009, -7/+22DO you really not know the difference? Seriously? DO you not know?
One man (Johnny) is privately wealthy. He has worked and gotten paid for his skill.
Another man is a corporatist - Do you know what a corporation is and why people are having such problems with corporatism now, especially in places like the US?
The below is a generalization, but it is fairly accurate, especially when referring to the industries I mention.
Corporations impact the lives of their employees, the lives of the public via public poilicy (especially if it is a large corporation or a defense contractor or oil company, pharmaceutical, etc), their shareholders, etc. Most of these corporations follow a policy of "profits over people," they don't care that they influence laws with lobbyists that impact all of our lives, they don't care about their employees (other than the fact that they need them to keep the company going), they only care about what is best for their bottom line.
Corporations and the US government have formed a sick symbiotic relationship.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism
Corporatism also goes by another name: fascism - AKA the merger of state and corporate power.
I am not down on all corporations, but as Lincoln said:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
-- U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
