However, Jon Cryer’s salary was a pittance compared to Charlie Sheen’s payday, reported People.

“He’s in the midst of falling apart in every way that I can imagine, and he’s renegotiating his contract for another year of a show that I’m supposed to be on, too,” Cryer recalled in a new Netflix documentary, according to the outlet.

Cryer likened the Wall Street star to a former prominent dictator.
