“The actor claims he’s had a ‘significant reduction’ in his earnings, and is in a ‘dire financial crisis’ with less than $10 million to his name. The document also lists several debts Sheen has been unable to pay because of his finances, including both a pool service and a gardening service which are both noted as ‘past due.’” The documents say that Sheen has “been unable to find steady work, and [has] been blacklisted from many aspects of the entertainment industry.” He says he’s no longer making the kind of money he used to, or working as much, so he wants to get his monthly child support payments reduced by the court. It’s a long way down from where he was in 2010, when his aforementioned Two and a Half Men gig made him the highest paid actor on TV for a time, before he was fired from the show after a very public meltdown during a rehab-related hiatus. Another aspect of Sheen’s financial crisis is also the almost $5 million in unpaid income taxes from 2015 that he was reported to have earlier this year. And a few months before that, he put his Mulholland Estates mansion on the market for a hair under $10 million.
