Charlie Sheen as Charlie Harper
Two and a Half Men
$288 Million
I’ll admit, I never really was a fan of the show. It was always the same jokes, and Charlie Sheen on drugs isn’t my favourite version of him. Now Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots: Part Deux, that’s someone I could get behind. In any case, for the first 6 seasons of the show, he made $48 million a year.
Now here comes the “Don’t do drugs lesson” kids. If he’d have stayed clean, his potential to make even more money would have been staggering. Even if he didn’t renegotiate his fee, and kept on making what he was (unlikely given that the show was still making crazy numbers), he’d be at the top of this list, easily.
Instead, he went crazy, said some things and now he’s unlikely to see that kind of cash again.
That's $288 million per person.
