Sydney Sweeney is on fire right now. It literally feels like she's everywhere: Smiling down on you from on Billboards, pouting on Instagram ads for beauty products, gracing your TV screen in the newest blockbuster TV series, and filling all the latest headlines. But while the 25-year-old breakout star seems like she appeared out of nowhere, she’s actually be in the acting game for a long time.
Yup, Sydney has waited many years for her time to shine, and now that it's here, people are dying to know more about her. Like, is she engaged? (Answer: Yes). Where is she from? (Answer: Washington State.) Is she starring in any new movies?! (Answer: Probably!)
So, it’s only natural to wonder how much money she’s making during all of this. How has all this success impacted her net worth? Here’s everything to know:
She’s been acting since 2009.
Sydney has actually been in the acting world for a very long time. In fact, her family traveled to and Los Angeles from Washington State to support her burgeoning career. They eventually relocated after her dad lost his job.
“We lived in one room. My mom and I shared a bed and my dad and little brother shared a couch," Sydney told The Sun. “Looking back now, it makes no sense, because if they couldn’t afford going back and forth, they were not going to be able to afford living in LA.”
She didn't make a lot of money when she started out. Her first role was playing Lisa on ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction, according to IMDB. But she quickly started landing smaller roles on big-name shows like Heroes, Criminal Minds, and 90210, before building up to bigger characters. But more on that in a sec.
Her film credits now include major hits like The Handmaid's Tale, Americana, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and Sharp Objects. Of course, now she has an Emmy nom under her belt for her performance in The White Lotus, which isn't too shabby.
While it's not clear exactly how much money she made from each of these acting roles, she's got 15 years of experience, which has probably bolstered her net worth.
She makes a lot of money from her endorsement deals.
Sydney has a lot of endorsements under her belt that bring in quite a bit of dough. Some have been big names like Armani and Miu Miu, while others are more up-and-coming, like Laniege. Her list of recent endorsement deals include:
Miu Miu
Cotton On
Armani
Guess
Parade
Laneige
Ford
Bai
She also just did a swimsuit line with Frankie’s swimsuits. In fact, Celebrity Net Worth says Sydney has earned more money from endorsements than she has from acting.
So, how much did she make for Euphoria and The White Lotus?
Sydney’s breakout roles in blockbuster TV serieses Euphoria and The White Lotus rocketed her to stardom, and also lined her pockets. For her role as Cassie Howard in Euphoria, Sydney reportedly earned an estimated $350,000 for 13 episodes, Yahoo reports.
Sydney reportedly made $25,000 per episode of season one of White Lotus, per Forbes, and she told The Hollywood Reporter that she hasn’t been thrilled with her acting income. “They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals,” she said. “The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5% to my lawyer, 10% to my agents, 3% or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that’s more than my mortgage.”
She has her own production company.
Sydney is an entrepreneur in her own right, and starter her own production company, called Fifty-Fifty Films. It actually has several projects in the works, including an adaptation of Jessica Goodman’s 2020 YA novel They Wish They Were Us (it’s being released as a limited series for HBO Max under the new title The Player’s Table), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sydney, herself, is starring in (and producing) a psychological thriller called Immaculate, which was supposed to start shooting this January.
She has a lot of pricy real estate in California.
While Sydney hasn’t been thrilled with her acting salary, she’s still managed to drum up enough cash to afford some nice real estate. She bought her first home for $3 million last year in the fancy Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, per the New York Post. “Being able to be in a house is such an incredible, humbling, amazing accomplishment that I still can’t believe I was able to pull off,” she told The Associated Press.
Sydney also owns a $6.2 million home in LA's Bel-Air neighborhood, per Vogue Australia.
What's Sydney's total net worth?
Drum roll please... Sydney is worth $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. And, of course, that’s only expected to increase in the next few years. Because, let's face it, there's nothing this gal can't do.
