Ashton Kutcher, Charlie Sheen
Forbes has released its list of the highest-paid actors on television this year. The countdown features a variety of stars from Patrick Dempsey to Jim Parsons, but the real questions is whether 2011's highest-paid actor Charlie Sheen reigned supreme again in 2012?

In addition to his role on the CBS comedy, the actor is an active investor in Skype, Spotify and Airbnb. Sheen, who now stars on FX's comedy Anger Management, didn't even crack the top 10.
