What Is Charlie Sheen’s Net Worth?

Born Carlos Irwin Estevez but known as Charlie Sheen all over the world, the actor, today, has a net worth of $10 million. If that seems a lot, then you should know that he was once worth over $150 million.

Charlie Sheen began his career as a child when he made his debut appearance in the film, Badlands, nine years after he was born on the 3rd of September 1965 to Martin Sheen who is also a renowned actor and Janet Templeton, a renowned artist. Charlie Sheen was born and raised in a family of actors, as all his older siblings are active members of the profession. But except for his father, he has had the most successful career, forging a long career in film and TV through his comedic and dramatic skills.

He has appeared in over 85 movies and TV shows, several of which were commercially successful. Charlie Sheen’s net worth was built on the success of movies like The Three Musketeers, Scary Movie 3, Due Date, Being John Malkovich, and several others.

The New York City-born actor has made most of his appearances in film, where he has earned considerably for his roles. Aside from his earnings in movies, his work in television shows like Two and a Half Men cemented his iconic status and as well, contributed a great deal to his initial net worth of $150 million.

During the latter years of his time on the show, Charlie Sheen had a significant boost to his net worth through a salary of $1.8 million per episode. Another show, Anger Management, fetched him $2 million per episode.

He earned $1 million from Twitter endorsements in 2011 and $7 million from his North American tour in the same year.

Despite earning from various means during the peak of his career and amassing a net worth of over $150 million, Charlie Sheen, through a series of reckless behaviors, including drug and alcohol abuse, poor financial management and health problems, saw his net worth dwindle from $150 million to $10 million.
