Charlie Sheen is a father-of-five.

The star rose to fame in the 1980s for his roles in Red Dawn, Platoon, Wall Street and Young Guns. He eventually got into television, where he scored a leading part in the famous sitcom Two and a Half Men.

At the height of Sheen’s success, he was worth a whopping $150 million due to his backend equity points on Two and a Half Men. At the time, the now 59-year-old was the highest paid actor on TV, earning $1.25 million per episode, and he made close to $2 million per episode in later seasons.

Despite Sheen raking in the cash, his turbulent lifestyle caused the father-of-five to lose most of his millions.

For starters, in 2011, Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men after his public battle with the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, therefore cutting off the majority of his income. Sheen’s personal legal costs, child and spousal support payments, and extravagant lifestyle expenses also drained his bank account.

In August 2018, Sheen claimed to be in a “dire financial crisis” and filed for a reduction in child support obligations, which amounted to $1 million per year at the time: $500,000 to ex Denise Richards and $500,000 to ex Brooke Mueller.

Following the 2018 request, the payments to his ex-wives were reduced to $25,000 per month compared to the previous $110,000.

In 2016, Sheen alleged to have $12 million worth of debts, mostly in mortgages. He also claimed his monthly income dropped from $600,000 to about $167,000. The patriarch additionally struggled with HIV, causing his medical expenses to be about $25,000 a month. The celeb even admitted to paying about $10 million to people who were threatening to make his HIV diagnosis public.

“Oh my gosh, what he has said about me was awful and hurtful. This is not an easy road and it hasn’t been,” Richards replied.
