Ashton Kutcher: $24 million

It'€™s been a pretty good year for Mr Kutcher; after replacing Charlie Sheen on hit US show 'Two and a Half Men', the 34-year-old also managed to knock him off of the top spot of Forbes richest TV actors, raking in a whopping $24 million between May 2011 and 2012.

It doesn't stop there for the former Mr Demi Moore; the keen investor owns shares in Skype, Spotify and Airbnb, and is set to star in upcoming movie biopic 'Jobs', as the eponymous Apple co-founder.
