Summary: Charlie Sheen’s ex-wives have accepted slashed child support payments.
Facing financial ruin, Charlie Sheen has reached an agreement with his ex-wives to cut their child support by almost half.
Sheen, 50, revealed last fall that he was HIV-positive, and the actor was soon hit with lawsuits from ex-lovers. TMZ reported that his once multi-million annual income has reduced significantly. The publication said in March he brought home $87,000, a huge reduction for the once mega earner; and it is unclear if the number has changed since.
Sheen has four children with his ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller. According to TMZ, the women have accepted the lowered child support payment of $25,000 a month/each. They previously were each given $55,000 a month, and it’s rumored that if the child support cases had gone to court, a judge may have ordered the women to receive a mere $10,000 a month.
The women are also reportedly being given real estate as part of this new settlement. According to TMZ, Sheen is also liquidating assets for cash to pay his lawsuits.
In November, Sheen appeared on The Today Show and revealed that before his HIV announcement, he had quietly paid millions to women who he had sex with in order for them to keep quiet about his health.
“That is money taken away from my kids,” Sheen said about the hush money on Today.
Before the HIV reveal, the actor had been notorious for his drug use and penchant for prostitutes and porn stars.
Sheen starred in hit movies like Major League and TV shows like Two and a Half Men.
Sheen married actress Richards in 2002, and they divorced in 2006. They have two daughters together.
Sheen has two twin boys with Mueller, whom he married in 2008. They divorced in 2011.
