Biography
Charlie Sheen net worth is estimated at $10 million, a dramatic decline from an estimated $125 million at his peak, following his highly publicized mental breakdown and firing from Two and a Half Men in 2011 and his 2015 HIV disclosure. The son of actor Martin Sheen, Charlie became one of Hollywood's highest-paid TV actors, earning $1.8 million per episode on Two and a Half Men — making him the world's highest-paid TV actor at the time. His 2011 firing after a public meltdown included a viral 'Winning!' media tour, a 77-city live comedy tour that initially sold out, and the creation of the web series Anger Management. His disclosure of HIV-positive status in November 2015 on Today with Matt Lauer was one of the most-watched TV moments of the year.
