That's a rare example where the lead isn't the richest.

Two and a Half Men premiered on CBS 20 years ago, so that's just the right time to take a look back at this famous sitcom. Although today, it is overshadowed by such titans of the genre as Friends and The Big Bang Theory, the show was highly popular and won lots of awards during its 12-season run. And this, of course, means that its stars got quite rich from their roles in the project.

Let's see how rich exactly, based on numbers available at Celebrity Net Worth.

Charlie Sheen

Usually, you expect the main star of a hit series to have at least double the wealth of the next richest actor. But this is not the case with Charlie Sheen, who played Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Man, even though he has a lot of other well-known projects under his belt.

Yes, the actor was once very rich, but after his public quarrel with the series creator, Chuck Lorre, and a number of other scandals, his career pretty much ended. Whether as the result of frivolous spending or lawsuits, Sheen now has a net worth of 'only' $10 million.

Holland Taylor

The veteran TV actress who starred in Two and a Half Man as Evelyn Harper, the Harper family's mother, has a net worth of $12 million. Although Holland Taylor played many other roles, Evelyn was her largest by far, even just in terms of the number of episodes.

Angus T. Jones

Jake Harper, Charlie's slacker nephew, was basically the only major role Angus T. Jones ever played. Nevertheless, the former actor managed to make a whopping $20 million during his 10-year tenure on Two and a Half Man.

Jon Cryer

The actor who played Charlie Harper's younger brother, Alan, and won two Emmys for the role, now has a net worth of $70 million. Though Jon Cryer starred in a lot of other projects, most recently playing Lex Luthor in several superhero CW series, the actor probably owes a big portion of his wealth to the cult sitcom.

Ashton Kutcher

But no other cast member's net worth can compare to Ashton Kutcher's. As a model, actor, entrepreneur, and TV host, Kutcher has managed to amass a fortune of about $200 million. Given the scope of his activities, it is probably unfair to compare him to the other cast members, who are only involved in acting.

But then again, you might remember that Kutcher's character in Two and a Half Men was Walden Schmidt, a billionaire, and perhaps that inspired him to earn his millions.
