Just how much do you think Sydney Sweeney's net worth is?
The actor has recently starred in an adaptation of The Housemaid, but is perhaps best known for her role as Cassie in Euphoria.
But the latest season of the hit HBO show has been met with a controversial reception, in particular over scenes featuring Sweeney.
The third season is set five years after the events of the previous one, and sees the cast trying to build up a life for themselves and survive in the wider world.

For Sweeney's character this has included starting an OnlyFans page to raise money for her upcoming wedding.
It's this plot line which has led to some of the more controversial scenes, including co-star Jacob Elordi holding Sweeney on a leash dressed as a puppy, and another where she is dressed as a baby, including a pacifier, while shooting adult content.
So just how much has Sweeney, 28, made from her many film and TV appearances?
Celebrity Net Worth estimated her as being worth approximately $40 million, despite not even being 30 years old yet.
This is from a combination of her movie salaries, such as a multi-million dollar contract on The Housemaid, for which she got a pay check of around $7.5 million.
Others have included payments of hundreds of thousands of dollars for things like Madame Web, as well as her commercial appearances in advertisements.
Sweeney also has her own production company too, opening up another revenue stream.
Euphoria has become known for its controversial and unflinching portrayal of addiction, sex, and relationships.
But a lot of viewers have taken the view that the latest season has taken things too far, particularly with Cassie's scenes.
Taking to social media, one person wrote: "Honestly, Euphoria has always pushed boundaries, but it does feel like this season is going a bit too far for shock value.
"I get that it’s trying to portray dark and uncomfortable themes, but there’s a fine line between storytelling and unnecessary degradation."
The show's creator Sam Levinson has even weighed in on the debate, defending a scene where Sweeney engages in puppy play.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: "[Cassie] has got her dog house and her little dog ears and the nose, and that has its own humor, but what makes the scene is the fact that her housekeeper is the one filming it.
"What we wanted to always find is the other layer of absurdity that we’re able to tie into it so that we’re not too inside of her fantasy or illusion — the gag is to jump out, to break the wall."
