( Mashable ) -- Charlie Sheen may or may not be `` winning , '' in life , but he has won a rare honor : the `` Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers '' Guinness World Record . Guinness community manager Dan Barrett says the agency `` just researched and approved '' the record this morning . According to Barrett , Sheen reached that milestone in 25 hours and 17 minutes . As of this writing , Sheen 's Twitter account , @ CharlieSheen , has more than 1.3 million followers . Guinness did not have a previous record for that category , Barrett says . Sheen also set a Guinness record for `` Highest Paid TV Actor Per Episode -- Current '' at $ 1.25 million . Sheen joined Twitter March 1 . In a matter of minutes , Sheen acquired more than 60,000 followers and a Klout score of 57 -- without even tweeting . According to a report in Advertising Age , Sheen was able to get his account verified so quickly because Internet startup Ad.ly brokered his account with Twitter . Sheen , of course , has been all over the news since he publicly disparaged Chuck Lorre , producer of Sheen 's successful sitcom `` Two and a Half Men '' in a bizarre interview with Alex Jones of InfoWars last month . Since then , Sheen has been interviewed by various other high-profile outlets making equally odd statements . The public meltdown has made Sheen a continual trending topic on Twitter and the subject of several YouTube parodies . For Guinness , this is the second high-profile application of the brand 's records system to social media . Last month , the Nabisco cookie brand Oreo and rapper Lil Wayne squared off for the record for the most Facebook likes . Lil Wayne won that contest handily . © 2013 MASHABLE.com .
