Johnny Depp | Pirates of the Caribbean

One can only imagine the bliss that Hollywood actors feel doing the job they like while getting paid huge amounts of money. Johnny Depp can relate to that because he’s paid $55 million for his portrayal of the fictional character Jack Sparrow in the blockbuster hit movie Pirates of the Caribbean. In total, Depp earned a whopping $300 million for all the six films of the franchise in 10 years—Depp surely has the most advanced home security systems in his home.

The storyline revolves around Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and his adventures after he arrived at Port Royal in the Caribbean without a crew or ship. The town was besieged by a pirate ship during the night that kidnapped the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), who has in her possession a valuable coin linked to a jinx which turned the pirates into zombies. In an unusual partnership, a gallant blacksmith named Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), who’s smitten with Elizabeth, forged an alliance with Capt. Sparrow to pursue the pirates.
