Charlie Sheen Paid How Much To Keep Prostitutes and Exes Quiet?

Charlie Sheen

As most of us probably know by now, Charlie Sheen has publicly came out to reveal that he is HIV positive, which sadly doesn’t come as much of a big surprise. Charlie, outside of his lengthy career in acting, is known for his wild antics, alcohol and drug use, marital issues, partying, sexual promiscuity, and living life on the edge. It seems like his lifestyle has caught up with him, however Charlie was originally diagnosed with the disease back in 2011. Now most people typically try to change their lives for the better, seek help, and stop having sex, but we are talking about Charlie Sheen here. Between recent interviews, legal documents, allegations, and various other sources it seems as though Charlie has not slowed down at all with his sexual promiscuity, despite having the most serious sexually transmitted disease known to man. And as it turns out, he has paid a lot of money to keep his condition under the table. But just how much?

Charlie is known as a womanizer almost throughout the world, and it is now known that he continued his lifestyle despite being HIV positive. Between reports and various rumors, Charlie has entertained the company of many women and even a few men since 2011. He admitted in his recent interview with Matt Lauer that he was always upfront about his condition with his partners, but at the same time, also needed them to not reveal his “secret” to the world.

Since Charlie lives the life he does, naturally many people became aware of his illness, but no one ever came forward during that time as apparently he has spent an insanely large amount of money to keep their mouths shut.  To get a better understanding of just how much, you have to look at his taxes, what he’s said in interviews, and other documents that reveal just how much money he was willing to spend to keep all of this under wraps.

Apparently, as claimed by Charlie, he has paid some $10 million dollars since 2011 to keep various extortionists quiet. It seems as a few people learned that he was HIV positive and wanted to use that sensitive information against him to make money unfortunately. Say what you want about Charlie, but extortion is not cool.

However the spending does not really stop there, as Charlie still drops money on many other things. It is known that he spends about $1 million dollars per year on child support alone. He also spends around $780,000 dollars each year for parties, his personal chef, clothing, and on hotels.

And as we can guess, Charlie Sheen has also spent a lot of money on high-end escorts and prostitutes as well. In 2013 his production company listed over $1.62 million dollars that were spent on “friendly entertainment”. One would imagine that a man as famous, seemingly confident, and as wealthy as Charlie would not need to pay for sex, but that is not the case. Additionally it is rumored that he pays escorts an additional $10,000 dollars (on top of the base $10,000 fee) to engage in unprotected sex with hookers…while he was HIV positive. Charlie exclaims that anytime he had unprotected sex he consulted and was supervised by his doctor and he claims that he has never transmitted the disease to anyone. It is also rumored that he has gifted large presents like homes to his ex-girlfirends to keep them quite about his HIV status.

Now some of these things are just allegations, but we do know that he spends a crazy amount of money on hookers, parties, and keeping extortionists quiet, so it wouldn’t be completely insane to say that this is all true. While he now doesn’t have to worry about being extorted, as this recent news travels, many of his former partners and exes are coming forward claiming that he never informed them about being HIV positive so he might be facing some massive lawsuits quite soon.
