Mysterious house in the desert
While most of the attention has been focused on Johnny Depp and how he lost his fortune, Amber Heard revealed something that also deserves attention.
At the beginning of her opening testimony, she confirmed that she lived in Yucca Valley, California (USA). Not in a luxury mansion or a million-dollar mansion, the actress said she lives in an abandoned house with arid desert, no shopping center nearby and a small population.
However, Dirt.com reports that Amber Heard’s name does not appear on the home’s deed, but rather that the property was purchased through a trust affiliated with Amber Heard. The 24,000-square-meter site was built in 2015 and purchased in 2019 for $570,000.
Marketplace reported that the Covid-19 pandemic caused homes in the desert in California to skyrocket. The publication explains that desert homes have increased in value in part because everyone is working remotely during the pandemic.
