Amber Heard may be appealing the verdict of Johnny Depp’s defamation case, but she still has to pay over $8 million while her appeal is considered by the Virginia court system. In order to put a dent in her lawsuit fees, Heard just secretly sold one of her homes in California, according to the New York Post. The house, which is located in Yucca Valley, is on six acres of land and was sold for $1.05 million, although Heard bought it for $570,000 in 2019. It was sold to a New Jersey couple, Rickard and Carol-Jeanette Jorgensen, who own Jorgensen & Company LLC, while off-market. It appears that Heard may own other properties as well, and that she used the home as more of a getaway, although that still remains unclear.
A source close to the actor told Mirror, “Amber loves spending time in the desert. It’s the one place she can get away from everything.” The insider continued, “[She] feels she experiences a true getaway. In recent months, it’s given her time to reflect and escape the pressures of the case.”
While it was originally unclear how the couple obtained the property, TMZ reports that they were in conversation with Heard’s representatives and never dealt with the actor. Only time will tell what else Heard will have to sell or do to make sure she can provide the court the millions she owes right now.
