Johnny Depp owns an island, Oscar-winner Johnny Depp's island — Little Hall's Pond Cay — is located in the Bahamas and has no fewer than six beaches, all with different names. One is "Gonzo," a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson, the iconoclastic Rolling Stone magazine journalist, said Carlos Greer, People magazine reporter.
"Depp purchased the island because he was looking for privacy," said Greer. "The island is completely isolated and he enjoys snorkeling there. It's his haven to escape to as a space for instant freedom, especially because someone like Johnny Depp can be reclusive."
