Actor Johnny Depp has bagged $11.5 million after he sold two artworks by Jean-Michel Basquiat in an auction.

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star auctioned off two artworks by Basquiat at a Christie's auction, earning $4.75 million for one and $6.84 million for the other, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Meanwhile, the 53-year-old actor -- who is currently in the midst of a highly publicised divorce from actress Amber Heard -- is reportedly keen to head to his private island in the Bahamas as much as possible to escape the drama of Los Angeles.

"He has no plans to return to Los Angeles. He misses nothing about LA but his kids, and they are visiting him in the Bahamas," a source said.
