Part 3/9:
Earning $1.25 million per episode, and even climbing to $2 million with syndication deals, Sheen enjoyed the spoils of his labor—luxurious homes, collectible cars, and lavish spending defined his extravagant lifestyle. However, the notoriety that underscored his public persona was soon to unravel, leading to one of Hollywood’s most infamous meltdowns.
The Downward Spiral
In 2011, after a public breakdown and contentious disputes with the show's creator, Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men. This marked the beginning of his financial descent. Despite efforts to restore his career through shows like Anger Management, Sheen's earnings plummeted. By 2018 he acknowledged severe financial troubles, stating that his once-mighty $150 million nest egg dwindled to about $10 million.
