Charlos Irwin Estevez – alias The Machine, Chuckles, Carlos Estevez and Good Time Charlie – is actually far better known as Charlie Sheen, an American actor, screenwriter and film producer, who is the son of the equally famous actor and film producer Martin Sheen – yes, also Estévez, Ramón Antonio Gerardo by birth and descended from Spanish grandparents – and Janet Templeton, an artist. He was born on 3 September 1965 in New York City, and is best recognized for his starring roles in “Platoon” and “The Three Musketeers” on the big screen, and the series “Spin City” and “Two-and-a-half Men” on TV.
So just how rich is Charlie Sheen, as of early 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Charlie has been able to build a net worth of over 35 million dollars, during a career in the entertainment industry which began in the early 1970s.

As a teenager Charlie attended Santa Monica High School in California, where he showed talent in sports, especially baseball. Unfortunately, that didn’t have a positive influence on Sheen’s grades, and Charlie was expelled from school just a few weeks before matriculation.
However, thanks to his father’s influence in show business and acting in particular, Charlie had an opportunity to show his acting talent at an early age. When he was only nine years old, he was in the movie “The Execution of Private Slovik”, but the serious breakthrough for Sheen didn’t come until 1984, when the film “Red Dawn” appeared on screens. From then on Charlie’s net worth rose quickly, as he appeared in “Silence of the Heart” as Ken Cruze, in “The Boys Next Door” as Bo Richards, and in “The “Young Guns” playing Richard “Dick” Brewer. In 1989 he had the opportunity to play himself for the first time in the not very-well known short movie “Comicits”, but the next role which boosted Charlie professionally and financially was “The Three Musketeers” released in 1993, in which he played one of the main roles, Aramis.
Charlie has now appeared in over 80 films and 15 TV productions, despite acknowledged and often public problems, driven by his own talent despite suggestions that his father’s assistance has been needed. For example, for starring in “Scary Movie 5” as recently as 2013, Charlie received 250,000 dollars, and was apparently paid one point eight million dollars per episode of “Two and a Half Men” until 2011. Perhaps ironically, a recent starring role was in 100 episodes of the FX comedy series “Anger Management”, ending in 2014, but his net worth is being maintained.
However, popularity hasn’t helped Charlie to deal with his personal problems. His three marriages have allegedly been abusive, partly because of his own abuse of drugs and alcohol, and his philandering which culminated in his diagnosis of being HIV positive in 2011. Charlie was married to Donna Pete for just a year, divorcing in 1996; they had a daughter. He was then married to actress Denise Richards from 2002 until 2006 with whom he had two daughters – Denise alleged various forms of abuse. Thirdly, Charlie married Brooke Mueller in 2008, and they had twin boys before Brooke obtained a restraining order against Charlie, and they divorced in 2011.
However, Charlie is a known philanthropist, supporting particularly Aid for AIDS, but also CHERUBS – assisting kids with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
