Updated March 2024:Since 2023, both Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen have decreased their net worth. Kutcher by $80 million and Sheen by $7 million.

As for Sheen, between making child support payments and not working much, his net worth has continued to dwindle over the years. The remainder of the cast has kept their net worth intact.
