Sydney Sweeney buys $13.5M oceanfront Florida mansion: Aquarium, 520-bottle wine room and more
Sydney Sweeney is the proud new owner of an oceanfront Florida compound.
The “Anyone But You” star snagged up a pricey piece of property in the Sunshine State for $13.5 million on Tuesday — $4.5 million less than its asking price, Page Six has learned.
The 7,720-square-foot home features 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.
As seen in photos obtained by Page Six exclusively, the mansion is located on a large piece of land approximately 30 minutes from Key West, giving the actress lots of privacy during her days off.
The property includes a massive heated and chilled infinity pool with a swim-up bar, a hot tub and a private boat launch.
It is unclear whether Sweeney, 26, purchased the home on her own or if it was a joint investment with her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, 40.
TMZ reported Wednesday that the “Euphoria” star, who has already hunkered down in Florida, also plans to keep her home in Los Angeles.
Sweeney purchased her Tudor-style home in California for $3 million in November 2021 — something she never thought she’d accomplish.
“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,” she told the Associated Press that December.
“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.”
The 3,200-square-foot home, built in 1933, boasts five bedrooms and four bathrooms and is situated atop a hillside in the Westwood neighborhood of LA.
While Sweeney wasn’t able to immediately buy back her parents’s home, she purchased a family heirloom in 2022.
“My great-grandma had this beautiful house. It’s a two-bedroom, cute house that they lived in,” she explained on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in December 2023. “My grandma was born in it, my mom was born in it, and then as the kids got older, they built on the property another home.”
“When my great-grandpa passed away and my great-grandmother got old, they just couldn’t afford to keep it anymore,” she continued. “Last year, I called up the owners and I said, ‘I want to buy my great-grandma’s house back.’”
It is unclear whether the “White Lotus” alum still owns the home.
Sweeney also bought a 4,477-square-foot fixer-upper in Bel Air, Calif., for $6.2 million last year — despite once claiming she was strapped for cash.
TAMPA, Fla – New SNAP restrictions will start Monday in Florida.
What we know:
These changes will ban the purchase of many sugary sodas, energy drinks, candy and ultra-processed, shelf-stable prepared desserts.
Hunger Free America, an advocacy group, is against these restrictions.
Joel Berg, the CEO, said some regulation is a good thing, but he wants to see it support access to healthy foods as a choice.
“We do support mandates to mandate that healthier food is available in stores that do accept SNAP,” Berg said. “So, it makes a lot more sense to make it easier to get healthier food.”
Berg said these restrictions are unnecessary in achieving a healthier America.
“We should make America healthier again by making healthy food more affordable, convenient and physically available,” Berg said. “We shouldn’t micromanage the eating patterns of adults to try to achieve that goal.”
The other side:
This is part of the Make America Healthy Again initiative.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said, “Under the MAHA initiative, we are taking bold, historic steps to reverse the chronic disease epidemic that has taken root in this country for far too long.”
What they’re saying:
Berg said that these changes, on top of cuts to the program nationwide, will increase hunger.
“It’s not that low-income Americans don’t want healthier food; it’s that they can’t afford healthier food,” Berg said.
This coincides with the announcement that there will be cuts to WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, which supplies food to mothers and young children.
“President Trump’s budget just announced that he’s proposing taking away fruits and vegetables from the WIC program for pregnant women and children under five,” Berg said. “So, they’re taking away healthier food.”
The WIC cuts would take away $1.4 billion in fruit and vegetable benefits from 5.4 million people.
Big picture view:
The SNAP changes come as part of the MAHA movement and include more than 20 other states that will implement changes over the next two years.
