And they show she is paying her lawyer Samantha Spector £380 ($550) an hour to represent her in her divorce battled with estranged husband Johnny Depp.

Last year, the Rum Diary star earned a total of £180,110 ($259,876) from films such as The Danish Girl, for which she received £21,562 ($31,112) and Paranoia, which paid her £31,405 ($45,314).

She has £17,000 ($25,000) of savings in the bank and is still making residuals from her roles in The Rum Diaries and Magic Mike XXL.

Amber also received money from high-end companies Tiffany & Co, who paid her £83,167 ($120,00) and Bulgari – £34,000 ($50,000) – but with her expenses and spending taken into account, she only took home £35,665 ($51,461).

The details of her finances from 2015 came as it was reported that she is seeking £34,000 ($50,000) a month in spousal support from Depp, who she filed for divorce from last week.

In the request she made for a restraining order against the Pirate of the Caribbean star, as well as the alimony, she wants protection for her dog Pistol and sole access to the Los Angeles home where she and Depp have lived since getting married.

The restraining order and sole access to the property was granted but a judge declined to order Depp away from the dog or any temporary spousal support pending the next hearing.

Bisexual Amber has claimed she “lived in fear” of the 52-year-old actor during their 15-month marriage and claimed he left her bruised after throwing an iPhone at her face.

And in a written declaration she says she’d “endured excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse” and opted to speak out “as she cannot continue to leave herself open to the vicious, false, and malicious allegations.”

Lawyers representing the 30-year-old have said that she’s been “forced” to make a statement as a result of the way the Black Mass actor has behaved.

However, police say the actress showed no evidence of injuries when police arrived at her home after the alleged incident, whilst Johnny vehemently denies any wrong doing.

And in what is being billed as the “ugliest celebrity divorce ever”, various A-lister friends and family have been quick to take sides.

Even Johnny’s daughter Lily-Rose and his former partner Vanessa Paradis have spoken out in the defence of the actor, describing him as “sensitive” and “loving”.
