Charlie makes $7 mil in days

This guy used to make $2 million per episode of his TV show Two and a Half Men, so he's used to dealing with big wads of cash. But he clearly wasn't going to let a little thing like being fired stand in the way of him and a few million.

During this whole crazy period he's been going through, while many people are convinced he's lost the plot, there are just as many people who are convinced that he has a very savvy game going.

The fact that his sold out upcoming tour, 'Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth' made him $7 million dollars within a matter of days, lends weight to the idea that this has been a carefully executed plan.

For starters, the makers of Two and a Half Men are no doubt worried about the news Charlie plans to sue. After all, they have said many times that Charlie is 'sick', but then you can't fire someone for being sick. This is possibly the defence Charlie is going to take. Whether it works or not we'll have to wait and see.

Next, during his loopy phase he joined Twitter and broke the World Record by gaining over a million followers in less than 24 hours. He now plans to make money by mentioning companies on his Twitter page and being paid handsomely for the favour.

When you combine suing his ex-bosses, the Twitter cash cow and now the very lucrative tour - maybe Charlie actually did know what he was doing all along? What do you think?
