American actor, producer, former fashion model and comedian, Ashton Kutcher, has an estimated net worth of $140 million. Having acquired legions of loyal female followers with his portrayal of the ever-horny and dimwitted Kelso in the popular television comedy series That 70s Show, is no surprise that the male model-turned-actor ironically majored in biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa before his “discovery” in an Iowa bar and subsequent stint on the catwalk for such fashion industry luminaries as Versace and Calvin Klein.
Born Christopher Ashton Kutcher on February 7, 1978 in Cedar Rapids, IA, along with a fraternal twin named Michael. Kutcher’s first major big-screen role was in Dude, Where’s My Car? (also 2000), in which he teamed his airheaded goofiness with that of American Pie’s Sean William Scott. His high-profile romance with actress Demi Moore shot Kutcher’s celebrity stock through the roof in 2003. Kutcher and Moore got married on September 24, 2005, in a private ceremony conducted by a Rabbi; the wedding was attended by about 150 close friends and family of the couple, including Bruce Willis, Moore’s ex-husband.
In 2009, Kutcher became the first Twitter user to gain one million followers, beating out CNN and donating $100,000 to fight malaria. On August 10th 2011, it was revealed that Ashton Kutcher’s salary for “Two and a Half Men” will be $700,000 per episode, instantly making him the highest paid person on television. But even at that outrageous salary, Kutcher is still nowhere near his predecessor Charlie Sheen, who earned $1.25 million per episode.
