ElonMuskmay be behind a nearly $1 million payment to helpAmber Heardcomplete a hefty pledge following her divorce fromJohnny Depp.<\/p>\n
As detailed in Depp and Heards ongoing Virginia libel case, the Aquaman star said in August 2016 that she would donate her $7 million divorce settlement to charity by splitting it evenly between the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
But Depps attorneys have been trying to show that Heard has not followed through on her vow.<\/p>\n
A video deposition from the ACLUs general counsel, Terence Dougherty, was played in court late last week, in which he said that the organization has so far received $1.3 million from the actress.<\/p>\n
However, most of it did not even come directly from Heard. The court heard that the Drive Angry star, 36, paid $100,000 in August 2016, and then Depp, 58, made another payment of $100,000 in his ex-wifes name later that same month.<\/p>\n
It is believed that a foundation said to be controlled byMusk a Vanguard donor-advised fund (DAF) anonymously donated $500,000 to the ACLU in Heards name in June 2107.<\/p>\n
Then, in December 2018, a Fidelity DAF anonymously contributed $350,000 on the Pineapple Express stars behalf.<\/p>\n
The last donation is not confirmed to be fromMusk the worlds richest man, who recently bought Twitter for $44 billion but he is the only known person to have anonymously donated on Heards behalf.<\/p>\n
Musk, 50,has become a huge point of contention amid the exes legal battle, as Depp previously accused Heard of cheating on him with the tech mogul during their marriage.<\/p>\n
Page Six exclusively revealed in the summer of 2016 that Heard and Musk were spotted spending time together at the Delano hotel in Miami.<\/p>\n
Theydated until August 2017, and he later told Rolling Stone, I was really in love, and it hurt bad. Well, she broke up with me more than I broke up with her, adding he was in severe emotional pain following the split.<\/p>\n
Heard and Musk reconciled their relationship early the following year but broke up again a few months later.<\/p>\n
