Actress Cashes In on $1M Check from Ex-Husband Charlie Sheen After 14 Years

In a surprising turn of events, actress Denise Richards has uncovered a $1 million check from her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, that she never cashed. The check, dated December 24, 2011, was discovered by Richards during a recent move.

Posting a photo of the check on her Instagram Stories, Richards jokingly asked Sheen if the check was still valid, soundtracking the image with the Pink Floyd song "Money." The former couple, who divorced in 2006 after a tumultuous marriage, appear to be on good terms these days.

In September 2025, Sheen and Richards stepped out together at the Los Angeles premiere of Sheen's Netflix documentary, posing for photos and sharing a hug. Sheen, who has been sober since 2017, acknowledged in the documentary that he "made it a lot more difficult than it needed to be" during their marriage.
