Things were going pretty well for Charlie Sheen when he was at the height of his career. He won numerous accolades and was living a lavish lifestyle thanks to the $1.8 million paychecks he would receive for every episode ofTwo and a Half Men,making him the highest-paid television actor in 2010. Unfortunately, his empire fell.
Eventually, the actor’s net worth began to suffer thanks to a rocky period in his career as well as one personal problem after the other. He blamed the people in his life for extorting money from him – money that was supposed to be for his children. However, his ex-wife came out with a startling revelation that he owed her a huge sum in child support and that he wasted a ton of money supporting his extravagant lifestyle instead.

Richards also added that the actor squandered $24,000,000 to pay off debts and support his lavish lifestyle instead of using that money to pay child support.
[Charlie] has squandered over $24,000,000 from the sale in his interest in ‘Two and a Half Men’ to pay his personal debts and to support his extravagant lifestyle at the expense of support payments for his children.
Unfortunately for Richards, things didn’t quite work out in her favor at the end.

Sources close to theWild Thingsactress toldPage Sixthat Sheen had kept pushing the court date forward, which surprised Richards when it ended up happening the day she was not in town.
Charlie filed two years ago and kept pushing the court date, so Denise was very surprised that it happened while she is out of town filming. I was blindsided. Now he’s manipulating the situation.
At that time, Sami and Lola were 17 and 16 years old, respectively. As per the court’s verdict, Sheen’s child support payment was adjusted to “zerodollars per month”(viaPEOPLE).
While Richards was apparently“very saddened by the entire situation,”a source claimed with confidence that Richards was well aware of the court date for six months. On the other hand, Sheen told US Weekly that the judge’s ruling was“extremely fair.”What do you think?
