Johnny Depp is ready to pay Vanessa Paradis a massive amount as a good faith gesture and to keep their separation amicable, according to reports. Though they were never married, the actor is prepared to give his partner of 14 years an out-of-court settlement in excess of $150 million. Depp and Paradis separated this week, but are determined to keep the already difficult breakup amicable. A nine-figure check can’t hurt. As the couple weren’t married, negotiations over financial support could be complicated, according to legal experts … which is why it just won’t happen. Call it the opposite of Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian . Depp harbors no ill will toward Paradis and wants to avoid legal wrangling. Said an insider: “he will make a generous lump sum payment as a settlement.” French singer Paradis is also expected to retain ownership of a house in Plan-de-la-Tour in southern France, leaving Depp with his Hollywood Hills home. They have two children together – Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10. [Photo: WENN.com]
