Amber Heard is given a ''monthly allowance'' by Johnny Depp.

The 'Magic Mike XXL' star is reportedly given the hefty sum of $25,000 from her husband to spend on whatever she wishes.

A source told Star magazine: ''[She] can easily blow through her designated monthly allowance - rumoured to be $25,000 and he won't say a word because he's afraid of losing her.''

It will come as a shock to fans after the 29-year-old beauty previously referred to herself as ''fiercely independent''.

Speaking of married life, she said: ''Nothing is a dramatic change. We've been together for a long time now, so it's been a fairly organic process.

''I have a fiercely independent spirit. I fall in love [with Johnny] again and again.''

And Amber also admitted she never wants to lose the freedom she's worked hard to make for herself.

She added: ''The thing that really scares me is the potential of losing my freedom. I never want for my life to lose the ability to transverse the world, with freedom and ease - the freedom and ease I have worked so hard to acquire for myself.

''I feel like I'm constantly fighting against my exterior, or this exterior presentation of myself because of how I look or perhaps because of who I'm with.''
