#35: Big on Charitable Giving

Amber made headlines in 2016 when she pledged to donate her $7 million divorce settlement from Johnny Depp to two charities: the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. She said she wanted nothing from the divorce except to be done with it.

The move was praised as bold and principled, though later scrutiny during her trial with Depp sparked debate over the timeline of the donations. Still, the gesture underscored her commitment to causes she cares about—domestic violence prevention and child health.
