Kutcher's considerable amount of salary from the show along with his Nikon and Lenovo endorsement deals had let him soar to the number 1 spot for the third consecutive year.
Meanwhile, Cryer has starred on "Two and a Half Men" for almost 12 years now and bagged an Emmy for his performance on the sitcom.
Other actors on Forbes' list include "NCIS" actor Mark Harmon who also raked in $19 million with huge revenues from the world's most watched drama. Neil Patrick Harris of "How I Met Your Mother" earned $18 million not only from the comedy show but also from Broadway stints and an endorsement deal with American Airlines.
Kevin Spacey also made it to the list for the first time, clocking in at $16 million and sharing a spot with "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey.
Tim Allen of "Last Man Standing" earned $15 million this year due to his work on the hit ABC series as well as his contributions to the "Toy Story" universe and voiceover work. Next on the spot is Simon Baker who pulled in $13 million for starring in "The Mentalist" and a luxury brand deal.
"The Big Bang Theory" actor Jim Parsons raked in $12million while his fellow actor Johnny Galecki earned $11 million. However, changes can be expected now that the two costars have signed a new deal that will ensure that they earn $1 million for every "Big Bang" episode.
With movie deals and the last season of 'HIMYM", Jason Segel earned $11 million as well.
It was also the first time that "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm made his way onto the list, with his earnings worth $10 million for the AMC drama and his film career.
