How Much Does Sydney Sweeney Make Per Episode Of Euphoria?
Sydney Sweeney's role on HBO's "Euphoria" grew immensely during the show's second season. From a secret fling with Nate Jacobs (played by Jacob Elordi) to puking in a hot tub, Sweeney's character had an interesting arch last season. The Washington native even won an MTV Movie and TV Award for her blowout on-screen fight with Alexa Demie's character, Maddie Lewis. "I wish Alexa was here so she could thank the amazing fans that we have because you all are so incredible," Sweeney said during her acceptance speech. Adding, "I have to be honest. Maddy might have gotten the last punch, but Cassie has never, ever been happier."
And while Sweeney's character is going through a tumultuous period on the popular teen drama, Cassie has seemingly become a fan favorite. "My toxic trait is that i love cassie howard sm i'll always defend her and can't blame her lol," one fan tweeted. While another jokingly referred to Sweeney's Howard as a "self destructing queen."
Sweeney is undoubtedly a star, but some might be surprised to learn how much the actor makes from her role on HBO's hit teen drama.
Sydney Sweeney's income wouldn't cover a 6-month break
Sydney Sweeney's salary for her work on "Euphoria" became a topic of conversation after the actor made a stark confession about her financial earnings. "If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don't have income to cover that," Sweeney told The Hollywood Reporter. "I don't have someone supporting me, I don't have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help." She went on to explain that after covering her expenses — which include management fees, a monthly payment to a publicist, and attorney fees — she is barely able to afford her lifestyle.
And while World Celebs estimated that Sweeney earned $350,000 for her on Season 2 of "Euphoria," she does appear to have amassed a pretty lucrative acting career. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star is worth an impressive $5 million. The database cites Sweeney's earnings from shows like "The Handmaid's Tale," and "The White Lotus," as contributors to the actor's success. Plus, "Euphoria" has already been renewed for Season 4.
Sydney Sweeney recently purchased her first home
After spending years as a budding Hollywood actor, Sydney Sweeney was finally able to purchase her first home. The actor nabbed the 3,200-square-foot home in November 2021 and has lived there ever since, Dirt reports. The home, located in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, was built in 1933 and features five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and rest on a steep hill. The impressive purchase, which came just months before Sweeney spoke out about her salary for "Euphoria" prompted backlash from internet sleuths, who suggested the actor was being insensitive.
"Sydney sweeney complaining about how her salary isn't enough whilst living in a $3 million house is giving kim k energy," one person tweeted. While another exclaimed, "I love Sydney Sweeney but where is the publicist she laments paying because they should have told her to steer clear of this conversation. You can actually live in LA on her salary, you just need less house."
