Nobody to pay her bills huh

“rep for Sweeney did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Sweeney, who plays Cassie Howard on the HBO hit series, has been linked to Davino, 37, since 2018. (They were first photographed together in October 2018.) Davino's family owns a 14th Round and Finalbell, a device technology and packaging company.”


Got her a 13 years older man coming from a rich family poor girl has to work so hard huh

Taraji explained it well.

While discussing the evolution of recognition and pay disparities in Hollywood while on “The Real” last week, Henson, repeating a narrative she brought up in February, broke down exactly why her pay was significantly less than other members of the film’s cast. Making reference of her $150,000 paycheck, the “Empire” star claimed her six-figure check turned into a deposit of less than $50,000.

“When you start making that kind of money Uncle Sam takes 50 percent, so let’s do the math,” she began during the Oct. 8 taping. “So that leaves me with 75 [thousand], then I have to pay another thirty percent to my team who did all the work to get me that job. So, I don’t pay them 30 percent of the 75 [thousand], no, no no, I pay them 30 percent of the 150 [thousand]. So what does that compute to?” implying that her net income for the project was just $30,000.

She continued, “OK, so let’s break it down like this: You have twelve months in a year to make your money right. If you do a film for five months that takes you off the market for anything else or any other kind of coin until you’re done with that show,” she further explained.

Henson, 51, then explained when it came to banking on her talents her money wasn’t being spent on a lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous.
Unless she’s making a crap load of money elsewhere she shouldn’t be paying 50% in taxes on $150k. Furthermore, the actual tax rate for rich people is closer to about 38%-43%, depending on where you live. That 50% number is not accurate. And that’s before tax breaks.

And I don’t want to hear nobody crying about not being able to go without work for 6 months (something most people can’t do) when you bought a house for 3 milly, and probably spent several more thousands on renovations and decorating. People think because they are actors/actresses that they are entitled to live lavish lifestyles. Nah, you live the life that your pay allows.

when i search it look like she's paid 25-40k/episode and there are like 8 per season.
let's be generous and say 40k. so she has to give away roughly 20% to management

she's at 32k/episode remaining (if it's a season a year & only 8 per year, that's less than 32k/month)
her mortgage for the 3-4 million dollar home is roughly 16k + her publicist gets more than that. so she's in the red.
then there are taxes.

i'm guessing she stars in something else and has another income source to make the math make sense.
renting is expensive, but she'd be in a better situation. i'd find another famous person to be roomies with. other stars like raven & lyndsay lohan have done this.

According to Google she made 25k per episode for 8 episodes.

If you do the math for the cuts she mentions and taxes shes left with about 100k.

Not a lot if shes living in LA.

some of you guys sound flabby as hell
Sydney Sweeney is pretty popular how do you not know her :mjtf:

Because she clearly isn't THAT popular. Other than Euphoria what else has she been in? I looked up her acting history and she hasn't been in anything else note worthy. So anyone that hasn't seen Euphoria won't know who she is.
