Now, the 50-year-old star is reportedly selling two homes: a 6,625-square-foot, five bedroom Spanish Villa-style home he bought in 2012 for $4.8 million, and a 9020-square-foot, six-bedroom mansion he bought for $6,999,999 in 2011.

On Tuesday, Charlie confirmed reports that he is HIV-positive, revealing he was diagnosed four years ago and had been paying out millions to former sexual partners and confidants who threatened to reveal his secret.

However, the hard-partying star said he always informed his many sexual partners, including porn stars and prostitutes, of his HIV status. He said he had had unprotected sex with two women, but that they knew of his condition and were under the care of his doctor.

On Tuesday, the actor said he has spent years paying off people who know of his HIV-status and extorted him in exchange for their silence.

'We're talking about shakedowns,' he said, confirming that one case involved a prostitute who took photos of his medication and threatened to sell the images to the media.

Charlie also said he expects future lawsuits from his past sexual partners, although he insisted he told all of them about of his HIV status. In fact, he says this honestly is what led to his financial problems.

'Having divulged it is the reason I am in the mess that I'm in, with all the shakedowns,' he said.

Later Matt asked 'You talk about all the shakedowns and you've told me it's upwards of ten millions over the last several years...what's your financial situation now?'

'It's not great. My financial situation is not great,' answered Charlie.

'It'll be great again. I'm a survivor. I've been up I've been down, I've been rich, I've been poor,' he said.

'It's another chapter of my life, it's not commerce driven, it's socially driven.'
