Charlie Sheen Reveals Ex-Wife Cashed $1 Million Joke Check

Charlie Sheen revealed on the KFC Radio podcast that he once wrote a $1 million check to his ex-wife Denise Richards as a joke for her birthday, which she surprisingly cashed about a month later. Sheen expressed that while the incident stung, especially as he couldn't recall if they were still married at the time, he understood her decision and even admitted he probably would have cashed the check himself. He also joked about wishing she had given him a heads-up before cashing it and was grateful that the check did not bounce, indicating he had sufficient funds in the account. Sheen and Richards were married from 2002 to 2006, sharing two daughters, Sami and Lola, and though their relationship ended amid challenges including Sheen's substance abuse, Denise has said she doesn't regret their marriage since they were brought together to have their children. The story highlights a blend of humor and financial caution, illustrating how a playful gesture can unexpectedly lead to a substantial financial transaction. Despite the surprise, Sheen took the situation in stride, turning what could have been a costly mistake into a memorable anecdote.
