Charlie Sheen Is Highest Paid TV Actor
August 05, 2008
Charlie Sheen may not be the greatest husband on earth, but he’s close to the best actor...that is, if talent is measured by money.
Sheen is the highest paid actor on TV, according to a new TV Guide poll.
The actor, who stars in the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, brings in $825,000 per episode. There are 23 shows in a season, leaving the star with a $20 million annual salary.
According to TV Guide, CBS is where to make the money. Coming in at number two is CSI star William Petersen, who makes $600,000 an episode.
As expected, the women on TV don’t make as much as the men. However, Law and Order‘s Mariska Hargitay makes a hefty $400,000 an episode and The Closer‘s sassy star, Kyra Sedgwick, makes $275,000 an episode.
