Johnny Depp wins libel suit against Amber Heard

Johnny Depp, 58, rose from a child star to become one of the best-paid actors in the world.

He is said to have amassed a salary of more than $300m (£240m) from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise alone.

His net worth is currently estimated to be about $150m.

Amber Heard, 36, has made a name for herself in movies like Aquaman and The Danish Girl, but her fledgling career had only recently begun to take off.

Her current net worth is unclear, but it is significantly lower than that of her well-known ex-husband. Some sources say it is around $8m, while other sources report it may be in negative territory.

Given that Depp has been awarded over $10m (£8m) in damages, Heard could be facing a major financial hit from the trial.

Jurors also find Depp defamed Heard - through his attorney - and award her $2m.

In a statement, Heard says she is "heartbroken" and "the disappointment I feel today is beyond words"

Depp says in his own statement: "The jury gave me my life back. I am truly humbled."

Depp had sued his ex-wife for $50m for an article she wrote in which she claimed to be a victim of domestic abuse.

Heard, 36, counter-sued for $100m, saying he smeared her by calling her a liar.

The verdicts bring an end to a televised trial that Depp had hoped would help restore his reputation, though it turned into a spectacle that offered a window into a vicious marriage. (With inputs from BBC)
