Ashton Kutcher Is Television’s Highest Paid Actor

Forbes released their annual survey on Wednesday of television’s highest paid actor. “Two and a Half Men” star Ashton Kutcher took the top spot earning $24 million between May 2011 to May 2012.

Last year former “Two and a Half Men” star Charlie Sheen topped the list at $40 million, but this year the “Anger Management” star didn’t even make the cut. Steve Carell, who earned $15 million from “The Office” last year, didn’t make the cut as well.

Following Kutcher, “House” star Hugh Laurie and Ray Romano from the now-cancelled show “Men of a Certain Age” earned their way towards the top of the list.
