Which Two And A Half Men Star Has The Higher Net Worth: Charlie Sheen Or Ashton Kutcher?

During Two and a Half Men’s 12 season run, it is fair to say that the show had more than its fair share of detractors. After all, long before The Big Bang Theory became a lightning rod online, Two and a Half Men arguably was the most detested show on the internet. In fact, one of Two and a Half Men’s stars, Angus T Jones, made fans of the show mad by bashing the hit series at one point.

Despite all of the people who couldn’t stand Two and a Half Men, the show had a massive fan following, to say the very least. Since Two and a Half Men was such a massive hit with its legions of devoted fans, there was a lot of money to go around when it came to the star’s salaries. In fact, it is known that one of Two and a Half Men’s stars continue to make serious money from the show to this day. With that in mind, it begs an obvious question, is Two and a Half Men’s original star Charlie Sheen currently worth more money than his replacement Ashton Kutcher?

Building Sheen’s Fortune

Long before Charlie Sheen began starring in Two and a Half Men, he was already cementing his career as a world-famous actor. After taking the movie world by storm as the star of the acclaimed film Platoon, Sheen would go on to headline several hit films. For example, in the years that followed Sheen would star in the Major League and Hot Shots! films as well as Wall Street, Young Guns, and The Three Musketeers.

After being a major movie star for several years, Charlie Sheen’s big-screen options began to wane. Fortunately for him, Sheen began starring in the later seasons of Spin City. Once that series came to an end, Sheen went on to star in Two and a Half Men which wound up being an extremely rewarding decision for him. In fact, according to reports, Sheen even signed a $100 million Two and a Half Men deal at one point and that was after he’d already been making a fortune from the show for many years. Thanks in large part to his years starring in Two and a Half Men, Sheen was once worth $150 million according to reports.

Ashton’s Massive Success

When That 70s Show debuted in 1998, far too many people wrote off Ashton Kutcher as nothing more than an airhead like his character from the show. In a lot of ways, that is a real shame as it seems to have limited Kutcher’s career in a lot of ways. For example, when it was announced that Kutcher was set to star in a Steve Jobs biopic, a lot of people were aghast.

Despite the way that some people have judged Ashton Kutcher over the years, he has enjoyed a lot of success in the acting world. After all, Kutcher starred in a long list of films including Dude, Where’s My Car?, The Butterfly Effect, and Valentine’s Day among others. Of course, Kutcher’s TV roles arguably have been an even bigger deal since he headlined That 70s Show and Two and a Half Men for several years each.

Unlike most famous actors, Ashton Kutcher has managed to become a business leader as well. After all, Kutcher has invested in a restaurant and a long list of startups, he co-founded a venture capital firm, he worked as a product engineer. Between his acting and business careers, Kutcher has amassed a $200 million fortune as of this writing, according to celebritynetworth.com.

Losing A Lot

When Charlie Sheen reached the peak of his money-making years during his Two and a Half Men tenure, he likely thought the gravy train would keep ongoing. Unfortunately for him, that definitely hasn’t been the case. Instead, Sheen’s infamous feud with Chuck Lorre got him fired from Two and a Half Men. Then, Sheen’s follow-up show, Anger Management, was canceled after only two, albeit very long, seasons.

Since Anger Management came to an end, it has been very clear that Charlie Sheen’s antics have caught up with him in Hollywood. After all, Sheen’s career has consisted of minor roles since the mid-2010s and he hasn’t appeared in any notable projects at all since 2018. Given Sheen’s notoriously expensive lifestyle, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that he is now worth considerably less than Ashton Kutcher. However, given that Charlie was once worth $150 million, it is wild that Sheen’s fortune has dwindled to just $10 million as of this writing, according to celebritynetworth.com.
