Sydney Sweeney Reveals Teenage Homelessness Before Multi-Million-Dollar Success

Sydney Sweeney, the 27-year-old actress known for roles in "Euphoria," "The White Lotus," and "The Handmaid’s Tale," revealed she spent over eight months living in a one-bedroom Holiday Inn hotel room in Burbank, California, at age 16 after her parents declared bankruptcy and lost their home. Despite the cramped conditions without a kitchen or balcony, Sweeney and her brother tried to make the best of the situation, joking that they were like characters from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and befriending hotel staff who made them grilled cheese sandwiches. Since then, Sweeney has achieved significant success, building a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio that includes homes in Bel Air, Los Angeles, the Florida Keys, and the Pacific Northwest, with additional properties under consideration in New York, Texas, Italy, and London. She recently ended her engagement to producer Jonathan Davino and is focusing on her career and business ventures, including a playful collaboration launching a limited-edition soap containing her bathwater. Sweeney's story highlights her resilience and transformation from financial hardship to Hollywood stardom and entrepreneurial success.
