Loss of fortune
Charlie Sheen’s personal life has always been extremely erratic and expensive. Prior to September 2016, Charlie was paying $110,000 PER MONTH to two ex-wives.
After Charlie sued to have the payments reduced due to his weakened financial status, a judge changed his monthly spousal payment to $25,000 per month, per ex. He also pays around $500,000 per year to support his kids.
In a March 2016 court filing, Charlie claimed to have $12 million worth of debts, mostly made up of various mortgages. He also claimed his monthly income had dropped from an all-time peak of $600,000 to around $167,000.
Charlie Sheen’s monthly medical expenses are $25,000. In the filing he also revealed that in the previous four years he spent $10 million settling with people who were threatening to make his HIV status public.
Finally, it’s well documented that Charlie has spent millions on hookers and drugs during his life. In August 2018, Charlie submitted an updated document to a Los Angeles court saying he’s “had a significant reduction in earnings” and was “in dire financial crisis with less than $10 million to his name.”
He further claimed to be unable to make his monthly child and spousal support payments because he had “been unable to find steady work and [has] been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry.”
In September 2019 Denise Richards claimed that Charlie owed her $450,000 in child support and that he squandered $24 MILLION he received for the sale of his equity stake in “Two and a Half Men,” which he was supposed to use to square his personal debts.
Also in 2019 Charlie nearly lost his primary Los Angeles home to foreclosure. He paid $7.2 million for the Beverly Hills mansion in 2006. He listed it for sale optimistically in 2018 for $10 million.
In April 2019 he lowered the asking price to $7.99 million. In January 2020 he finally accepted $6.6 million. Charlie sold a similar property in the same area for a $400,000 loss in 2015.
After moving out of his Beverly Hills home, Charlie briefly moved in with his parents, Martin and Janet Sheen. He then briefly rented a trailer in an upscale Malibu mobile home park. In June 2022 Charlie began renting a relatively-modest home in Malibu for a bit more than $16,000 per month.
