Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney who is worth an estimated $4 million claims salary doesn’t cover her expenses

Sydney Sweeney has claimed that her Hollywood salary earned from acting jobs isn’t enough to cover her expenses.

The actress, 24, who plays Cassie Howard in the hugely successful show Euphoria, claims that she wouldn’t be able to take a six month break from acting with what she currently earns.

In an interview released by the Hollywood Reporter, she explained that the industry doesn’t “pay actors like they used to”.

The actress reportedly has a net worth estimated at $4 million according to Bio Overview and earned $350,000 (£287k estimated) during the second season of the show.

World Celebs claim that she was being paid $25,000 (£20,000) for each episode in season one, with the total amount coming upto $200,000 (£164,238).

Speaking about her finances, Sydney said: “The established stars still get paid, but I have to give five percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, three percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month and that’s more than my mortgage.”

“I don’t have someone supporting me. They don’t pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals.

“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that.”

Fan feedback and public response from her situation have been very divided, with some understanding managing finances at a young age can be extremely difficult while others have claimed she’s ungrateful for her position.

One person tweeted: “I’ll pray for her ”

Another said: “Try having real people problems? Net worth 4 mil #SydneySweeney”

A third wrote: “I also barley earns enough to survive...

“So you are also on a five week pay month living off 39p for the last 8 days?

“Or are you sitting with a networth of 5million?

“One of us is taken the p*** saying barely earns enough to survive, I wonder which one that is....”

The backlash comes during one of the UK’s biggest cost of living crises, with high inflation leaving lots of people struggling to manage their finances.

It’s also been reported that Sydney didn’t speak to co-stars during Euphoria about how much she was earning.
