He did not! His Two and a Half Men replacement Ashton Kutcher topped the list, reportedly earning $24 million this year. In addition to his role on the CBS comedy, the actor is an active investor in Skype, Spotify and Airbnb. Sheen, who now stars on FX's comedy Anger Management, didn't even crack the top 10.
