‘Two and a Half Men’ may go down in history as the most fun not to have outside a sitcom set. Between former star Charlie Sheen’s troubles and the religious Angus T. Jones condemning his own show for being unfit to watch, the sitcom rates highly on the negative publicity meter of behind the scenes escapades. After Sheen left, Ashton Kutcher, former squeeze of Demi Moore (Ghost) took over as lead, and creator Chuck Lorre’s hit sitcom keeps chugging along. How much are the wacky men worth?
Charlie Sheen
He’s the Sheen who never seems to lose his sheen. The star luster that Charlie Sheen worked so hard to create in the 1980’s and 90’s seems to never dull. After his public spat with “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre, Sheen reinvented himself once again and snagged a honey of a deal with his new show, “Anger Management” on FX. The once big box office draw in films like ‘Wall Street’ and ‘Hot Shots’ is now more known as a TV personality, but he’d probably still comfortably draw a big crowd at a feature movie if tested. Sheen’s new TV deal is a sweet one, and he still makes news for helping troubled young stars like Lindsay Lohan pay her bills. Charlie Sheen has an estimated net worth of $125 million dollars.
Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher broke into the national limelight on the hit sitcom “That 70’s Show” as the ditzy Kelso, but he wouldn’t stick around just acting in TV for long. Big theatrical movies followed and he took the leads in “The Butterfly Effect” and “Dude, Where’s My Car?. Kutcher has done very well behind the scenes too, acting as producer on hit TV shows like “Punk’d” and “Beauty and The Geek”. After Charlie Sheen left “Two and a Half Men”, Kutcher swooped in to save the day. He joined the cast as the eccentric billionaire Walden Schmidt to inspire even more sitcom wackiness. All these high profile entertainment projects keep Kutcher busy and wealthy. His estimated net worth is $140 million dollars.
Jon Cryer
He’s the nerdy one on the show, but it hasn’t stopped him from being a popular part of it. Cryer came of age personally and professionally during the 1980’s as a teen actor in movies like “Pretty In Pink” and “Morgan Stewart’s Coming Home”. He even played Lex Luthor’s nephew, Lenny Luthor, opposite Gene Hackman’s evil Lex Luthor in “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace”, the last of the original Superman feature films starring Christopher Reeve. Cryer may not get as much publicity as Charlie Sheen or Ashton Kutcher, but he’s the solid weight who helps to hold his CBS sitcom firmly in place in the high ratings. He has an estimated net worth of $45 million dollars.
Angus T. Jones
He grew up before our TV watching eyes on “Two and a Half Men”, as the titled half a man, but now he’s adult enough to trash his own television show. Jones made big headlines when he confessed that he’s a devoutly religious Christian who feels that his own sitcom is not worth watching. CBS producers and executives did damage control, and now Jones hasn’t been saying much lately. Who knows what will happen when the show ends – or if producers feel he should leave prematurely before the actual series finale, but one thing is very clear. Jones is worth an estimated $15 million dollars, so whatever he does in the future, he’ll have the financial security to do it in style.
