Sydney Sweeney drops $70K on beach vehicle for her new $13.5M Florida estate
Sydney Sweeney’s Floridian vibes are “Immaculate.”
The “Euphoria” star has purchased a nearly $70,000 beach vehicle to go with her new $13.5 million oceanfront estate in the Florida Keys, TMZ reported early Friday.
Sweeney bought the Fiat 500 Jolly, which is a cross between a golf cart and a dune buggy, from Hampton Jollys in Greenwich, Conn., and dropped $68,500 on the ride. The cruiser comes in 10 different colors, but the “Anyone but You” actress opted for the sky blue, which will complement the ocean on which her house sits.
Photos obtained by the outlet show the “Voyeurs” actress using her Jolly over Memorial Day Weekend.
Reps for Hampton Jollys didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Page Six reported Thursday that Sweeney, 26, snagged the compound for $4.5 million less than its asking price. The 7,720-square-foot home, which is located about 30 minutes from Key West, 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.
Photos obtained by Page Six show the manse also includes an infinity pool with a swim-up bar and a jacuzzi. Sweeney’s new property sits on a large piece of land, which will provide her and her guests plenty of privacy when they head to the Sunshine State.
It’s unclear whether Sweeney purchased the house on her own or if it’s a shared investment with her 40-year-old fiancé, Jonathan Davino.
Although she appears to be spending a lot of time in Florida, Sweeney will remain bi-coastal as she purchased her first property, a $3 million Tudor-style home in California, in 2021.
“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.”
Sweeney appears to have become a passionate real estate investor, as she also purchased a Bel-Air, Calif., fixer-upper for $6.2 million last year despite claiming she was cash poor.
“If I wanted to take a six-month break, I don’t have income to cover that,” the rising sex symbol told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. “I don’t have someone supporting me, I don’t have anyone I can turn to, to pay my bills or call for help.”
The “Madame Web” actress suggested her campaign deals with Miu Miu, Laneige and Armani beauty pay her more than her day job.
“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,” the Emmy-nominated star explained.
“I have to pay my publicist every month, and that’s more than my mortgage,” Sweeney continued. “If I just acted, I wouldn’t be able to afford my life in LA. I take deals because I have to.”
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.
