Sydney Sweeney Seemingly Quadrupled Her Net Worth In A Few Months, Here's How

Summary

• Sydney Sweeney's net worth skyrocketed to $40 million, mainly from her successful acting career and endorsement deals.
• Sweeney's earnings include $350,000 per episode for Euphoria, films like Anyone but You, and projects with her production company.
• In addition to acting, Sweeney invests in real estate, buying mansions in Los Angeles and Florida.

Sydney Sweeney has come a long way since landing her breakthrough role as Eden Spencer in HBO's dystopian series, The Handmaid's Tale. Not only is the now 26-year-old widely considered one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, with critically acclaimed performances in hit TV shows like The White Lotus and Euphoria, she’s also making quite a killing financially, with her net worth currently estimated at a staggering $40 million.

But the rise in her net worth hasn't been as gradual as one would expect, seemingly increasing by an impressive $30 million between February and June 2024. In this article, we'll delve into Sweeney's rapidly rising net worth, exploring whether its sudden surge is solely driven by her burgeoning acting career, and uncovering the opulent ways she's been using her newfound wealth.

Is Sydney Sweeney’s Flourishing Acting Career Responsible For The Sudden Rise In Her Net Worth?

Sydney Sweeney has been riding a high tide since her breakout role in season two of The Handmaid's Tale. From snagging high-profile roles in hit TV shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus to producing buzzy films like Anyone but You and Immaculate, the now 26-year-old is on her way to becoming one of Hollywood's biggest powerhouses.

But it's not just her profile in Tinseltown that's exploded. Sweeney's net worth, once estimated at a modest $10 million, has skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping $40 million in just a few months. But is her acting career responsible for the sudden surge in wealth?

The now 26-year-old's acting career has gained significant traction in recent years, and so have her earnings. Sweeney reportedly pocketed around $350,000 per episode for her starring role in Euphoria and an additional $25,000 per episode for her stint in season one of The White Lotus.

But it’s not just TV gigs padding her net worth. In 2023 alone, Sweeney headlined three major projects: Anyone But You, Reality, and Americana. She’s kept the momentum going in 2024 with two films, Madame Web and Immaculate, already hitting theaters, and two additional projects, Echo Valley and Eden, in post-production.

While the exact figures remain under wraps, scattered breadcrumbs suggest her paychecks are anything but modest. Sweeney likely made a killing from Anyone but You, which raked in a whopping $219.6 million at the box office, especially since she also served as executive producer. And though unverified, whispers across the web claim she scored an impressive $650,000 for her starring role in Madame Web.

Sydney Sweeney’s Net Worth Hasn’t Grown So Dramatically From Acting Alone

Sydney Sweeney’s acting portfolio has certainly grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. However, it’s not the sole reason her net worth has exploded so dramatically—a fact made glaringly obvious by her comments in her 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals. The established stars still get paid, but I have to give 5 percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, 3 percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that’s more than my mortgage.”

So, what else could be fueling the sudden surge in Sweeney’s net worth? Well, as it turns out, acting isn’t the Madame Web star’s sole source of income. She also earns a significant income from other ventures, one of the most lucrative being endorsement deals. The now 26-year-old has partnered with multiple luxury brands since rising to the spotlight, including Armani Beauty, Guess, Miu Miu, Bai Drinks, Savage X Fenty, Laneige, Frankies Bikinis, and Ford.

Sweeney also receives a substantial windfall from appearing in music videos, including the 2023 music video for the Rolling Stones’ Grammy-nominated single, ‘Angry.’

She said of starring in the music video in her December 2023 cover story for Glamour UK:

“I felt so good. All the moves, everything I was doing was all freestyle. I mean, who else gets to roll around on the top of a convertible driving down Sunset Boulevard with police escorts? It’s the cool things in this career that I had no idea I’d get to do.”

It’s also quite likely that Sweeney’s film and TV earnings have grown quite dramatically, given that she’s also at the helm of her very own production company, Fifty-Fifty Productions. Established in 2020, the company has produced a few major projects, including the 2024 psychological horror Immaculate, which grossed an impressive $25.8 million at the box office against a modest $9 million budget. The company is also geared up to produce HBO’s upcoming murder mystery series, The Player's Table, based on Jessica Goodman’s gripping thriller novel, ‘They Wish They Were Us.’

Sydney Sweeney Spends Her Net Worth in Some Pretty Opulent Ways

Sydney Sweeney's ever-changing net worth estimates aren't the only sign that she's now swimming in cash. The 26-year-old has been making some seriously big money moves, especially in the real estate game.

Back in 2020, Sweeney splashed out $3 million on a stunning 3,200 square foot Tudor-style mansion in Westwood, Los Angeles.

She said of the purchase in a 2021 interview with The Associated Press:

“I always thought that when I turned 18, I’d have all this money and I’d buy back my parents’ house and put them all back together again. And I never was able to, and I never did. So now 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.”

Just two years later, the Euphoria star dropped a cool $6.2 million on a 4,477-square-foot fixer-upper in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Barely a year later, reports then surfaced that Sweeney had snagged a luxurious oceanfront mansion in South Florida for a whopping $13.5 million.

According to PageSix, the 7,720-square-foot home was originally listed for $20 million and boasts "six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a 520-bottle wine room, a 330-gallon aquarium, an elevator, a home gym, a game room, and carport parking."

Sweeney has also invested a significant sum in securing her family's real estate portfolio. During her 2022 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Euphoria star disclosed that she had repurchased her great-grandmother's house, which her family had previously sold due to financial constraints. Speaking to Who What Wear two years later, the Spokane-born actress revealed that she had also spent an undisclosed amount on clearing her mother's mortgage.

“I recently paid off my mom's mortgage. As a kid, I always dreamt of being able to take care of my parents, so that was a really big thing for me to be able to do...I try to incorporate them into my life as much as possible, whether it's talking with my cousins every other day or going home.”
