What was Ashton Kutcher diagnosed with?
Kutcher’s public health disclosure turned a private autoimmune struggle into a teachable moment for millions of fans — and proved that even Hollywood’s most resilient can face sudden, life-altering illness. (HELLO! (celebrity magazine))
In August 2022, Ashton Kutcher revealed that he had been diagnosed with a rare form of vasculitis, an autoimmune disease that inflames blood vessels. He told The Guardian that the episode struck about two years earlier and temporarily robbed him of his vision, hearing, and balance. The condition, he explained, took about a year to recover from.
What is vasculitis?
Vasculitis is a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, which can restrict blood flow and damage organs. According to NPR, Kutcher’s specific form was a rare variant that affected his sensory functions. He described being unable to see, hear, or walk properly for a period — a symptom profile that alarmed many fans. (Anglejournal (biography site))
How did Kutcher’s diagnosis affect his career?
Kutcher maintained a low public profile during his recovery. By late 2022, he told Deadline that he was “back” and had fully recovered. He even ran the 2022 New York City Marathon to raise awareness for Thorn, the anti-child-trafficking nonprofit he co-founded. Business Insider reported that the marathon was his way of declaring he was healthy again.
“I’m lucky to be alive. The experience really changed my perspective on life.”
— Ashton Kutcher, in an interview with NPR
The implication: Kutcher’s recovery demonstrated that even severe vasculitis can be overcome with prompt treatment, but the episode forced him to slow down and reassess priorities.
Why did Demi Moore leave Ashton?
Demi Moore filed for divorce from Ashton Kutcher in November 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. The split came after months of tabloid reports about marital strain. According to The Guardian, the divorce was finalized in 2013, with no public disclosure of financial terms.
What did Demi Moore’s daughter say about Ashton Kutcher?
Rumer Willis, Moore’s daughter from her marriage to Bruce Willis, publicly defended Kutcher in 2013, calling him a “wonderful stepfather.” In a HELLO! interview, she described him as a supportive figure in her life, even after the divorce.
Did Demi Moore get a settlement from Ashton Kutcher?
No settlement details have ever been made public. Moore did not request spousal support, and the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The lack of disclosure has fueled speculation, but no credible figure has emerged. (Celebrity Net Worth (wealth tracker))
“He’s been a great stepfather. He’s still a huge part of my life.”
— Rumer Willis, speaking to HELLO!
The pattern: Kutcher’s relationship with Moore’s children remained intact after the divorce, suggesting an amicable separation that prioritized family ties over acrimony.
Does Demi Moore still talk to Ashton Kutcher?
Public evidence suggests the two have maintained a cordial, if distant, relationship. Neither has spoken negatively about the other in recent years. In her 2019 memoir Inside Out, Moore wrote about the divorce but did not disparage Kutcher. HELLO! notes that both have moved on to new relationships, with Kutcher married to Mila Kunis since 2015.
What is the current relationship between Kutcher and Moore?
There are no recent public statements about direct communication. However, the absence of conflict — and the continued bond with Rumer Willis — indicates that the split was not acrimonious. The Guardian describes their relationship as “amicable co-parenting.”
Why this matters: In an era of high-profile, messy divorces, Kutcher and Moore’s ability to remain civil underscores the value of prenuptial agreements and mutual respect.
Is Ashton Kutcher a billionaire?
No. Multiple credible sources peg Kutcher’s net worth at approximately $200 million. Parade and Iro both offer 2025 estimates in that range. Some other outlets, like Celebrity Net Worth, have floated higher figures, but those are inconsistent and should be treated cautiously.
What is Ashton Kutcher’s net worth?
As of 2025, the consensus estimate is $200 million. That places him among the wealthier actors, but far from billionaire status. HELLO! reports that combined with his wife Mila Kunis, their household wealth is around $275 million.
How did Kutcher make his money?
Kutcher’s wealth comes from three main streams: acting (especially That ’70s Show, Punk’d, and The Ranch), production (Katalyst Media), and early-stage tech investments in companies like Uber, Airbnb, and Spotify. The Guardian describes him as a “venture capitalist” who turned a $30 million acting fortune into a much larger portfolio.
Celebrity wealth estimates are notoriously unreliable. Kutcher himself has not publicly confirmed his net worth, and different outlets use different methodologies. The $200 million figure is the most commonly cited by reputable sources. (Iro (Irish news site))
The trade-off: While Kutcher is not a billionaire, his tech investments have given him financial independence and allowed him to focus on philanthropy — notably through Thorn, which he co-founded in 2012 to combat child sexual exploitation.
What is Ashton Kutcher doing now?
Kutcher remains active in two parallel careers: as an actor and as a tech investor. He recently appeared in the Netflix series The Ranch and has several projects in development. But his primary focus is Thorn, which NPR notes has helped identify thousands of trafficking victims.
Does Ashton Kutcher support Donald Trump?
Kutcher has not publicly endorsed any presidential candidate in recent years. According to Parade, he has donated to both Democratic and Republican candidates in the past, including a 2016 contribution to Hillary Clinton and a 2018 donation to a Republican House candidate. He has avoided taking a strong partisan stance.
Does Mila Kunis like Donald Trump?
Mila Kunis, who was born in Ukraine and emigrated to the US as a child, has also kept her political views largely private. Neither she nor Kutcher made public statements about the 2020 or 2024 elections. HELLO! reports that the couple prefers to focus on philanthropic work rather than political commentary.
“Running the marathon was my way of saying I’m back. I’m healthy. I’m ready to take on the next challenge.”
— Ashton Kutcher, to Business Insider
The pattern: Kutcher’s post-health crisis life is defined by a deliberate shift away from celebrity politics toward tangible impact — investing in technology and fighting child exploitation.
