00:00Exotic vacations, multi-million dollar mansions, and juicy Netflix paychecks.
00:06Sounds like a dream life, but it's just another Monday for Adam Sandler's girls.
00:11While Adam and his wife tend to keep their daughters out of the paparazzi's eye,
00:15the family has often been spotted traveling by private jet. Not that you can blame them,
00:19it sure beats flying commercial.
00:22Could I maybe get that headset, please?
00:24Do not raise your voice to me, sir.
00:26Flying isn't the only private luxury afforded to Sadie and Sunny.
00:30The girls are also used to having a private chef.
00:33Brooke Bayevsky, also known as Chef Bay on TikTok,
00:37has documented some of her time cooking for the Sandler family. In one video,
00:41Bayevsky showed herself picking up groceries for the Sandlers at the notoriously expensive Los
00:45Angeles grocery store, Aero One. The chef noted that the entire family eats gluten and dairy-free,
00:51and showed herself preparing various dishes like vegetable latkes and salads,
00:56among others, during Hanukkah. Of course, true luxury is about choice. Fancy, home-cooked meals
01:02are great, but the Sandlers also don't seem to have a problem mingling with the rabble at IHOP
01:06once in a while when the mood strikes. Sandler has been pretty candid about the fact that he
01:11likes to set his movies in exotic locales, because it gives him the opportunity to get
01:15a little vacation time on the side. And with his wife and kids appearing in so many movies,
01:21they likely get the chance to go with him more often than not.
01:24We have to save the beautiful!"
01:27Jackie, Sadie, and Sunny popped up in Just Go With It, which was mostly filmed in Hawaii.
01:33For the do-over, principal photography took place in sunny Savannah, Georgia. And since the cruise
01:38scene in Jack and Jill was filmed on an actual Caribbean cruise, heck, why not put the family
01:42in a scene and bring them along? And the quote-unquote vacations, no doubt, got even more
01:47fun as the girls grew up. The 2019 film Murder Mystery is about a married couple's vacation to
01:53Europe. So, of course, production involved a real-life vacation to Europe, family in tow.
01:59Regularly jet-setting to some of the most beautiful locations in the world is anyone's
02:04dream, and getting paid to do it is just the icing on the cake.
02:09Sadie and Sunny have been acting since they were in Diapers, but their careers have taken
02:13on new life in recent years. Specifically, Sunny moved up from cameos to a starring role.
02:19One of the films that spawned from Adam's reported $250 million deal with Netflix was
02:24You're So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, a coming-of-age comedy starring Sunny and featuring
02:29Sadie. The exact breakdown of Adam's earnings for the film are unknown, but Sadie and Sunny
02:35made out well. The young stars reportedly each took home $65,000 for their work.
02:41The rest of their alleged contract didn't sound too bad, either. The two reportedly had travel
02:46stipends and a private trailer during filming, and if the movie results in a sequel, their salary
02:51will increase to $162,500 each. Is this just proof that nepotism is alive and well? Sammy Cohen,
02:59the director of Bat Mitzvah, doesn't think so. Cohen told The Hollywood Reporter,
03:03"[Sandler has a reputation for making movies with his friends,
03:07and that's something we all want to do. What I say is, he's still making movies with his friends,
03:12but they're his kids. He is the kind of dad who's also your best friend."
03:16As they've begun to get thrust more and more into the spotlight,
03:19Adam also shared some wise words with his daughters about the industry. He told People,
03:24"'I tell them to make sure you feel good about what you do and how hard you've worked,
03:28and you judge yourself. Don't let too many people try to get in your head.
03:32If you feel like you gave it your all, that's all you can ask.'"
03:36You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is based on the book of the same name,
03:40but Sadie and Sonny Sandler had plenty of real-life experience to pull on for the film
03:45as they both had their own glamorous bat mitzvahs. Director Sammy Cohen told People,
03:50"'What's really funny is right before we started prepping for the film,
03:53Sonny had her actual bat mitzvah. So I went to that service, and we got to do the real-life
03:58bat mitzvah and then left to make the movie. It was a really fun life movie moment.'"
04:03Sonny's party was a star-studded affair. While her own friends and family attended,
04:08so did some of Hollywood's most famous faces, including Taylor Lautner, Selena Gomez,
04:14Jennifer Aniston, David Spade, and Charlie Puth. The venue appeared to have an indoor and outdoor
04:19area for guests to mingle, and everyone in attendance was dressed in cocktail attire.
04:24"'To me, the party is important.'"
04:27Bat mitzvahs are no cheap celebrations, either. An average person could spend anywhere from
04:33$10,000 to $40,000. And Adam Sandler is no ordinary person. Given that Adam has more
04:40disposable income than the average person, it's likely his daughter's bashes were above and beyond
04:45that higher estimate. We mean, the actor got Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine to come and sing
04:51for Sadie's bat mitzvah. That doesn't happen for everyone.
04:55"'He used to go to bar mitzvahs at this place we did it at, and he swung by,
05:01did three songs with his buddy.'"
05:04As one of the biggest stars in Tinseltown, Sandler has worked with too many celebrities to count,
05:10and his daughters have often been right there with him, rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood elite.
05:16"'Jimmy, you remember Sonny? She was in Brooklyn with us that time."
05:19"'Hi Sonny, how are you?''
05:21Sadie and Sonny all but grew up side-by-side with A-listers,
05:25even before they were old enough to realize it. The two acted in Grown Ups alongside Salma Hayek
05:30and Chris Rock, among others. The following year, the two were in Just Go With It,
05:35which starred Brooklyn Decker and Nicole Kidman.
05:38There are also some celebrities who Sadie and Sonny know well because of their friendships
05:42with their dad. Adam Sandler has a close relationship with Jennifer Aniston,
05:46as well as Rob Schneider and David Spade, all of whom Sadie and Sonny have grown up around.
05:50Perhaps the biggest star Sadie and Sonny have met, however, is Taylor Swift. In 2023,
05:56Adam brought his girls to the premiere of Swift's concert film of the era's tour,
06:00and the pop star stopped to give each of them a hug.
06:03Growing up with a super-rich celebrity from a parent means having sleepovers at multiple
06:08palatial estates. Okay, it's not certain whether Sadie and Sonny Sandler have laid their heads
06:14down at all of their father's properties, but they definitely call one of them home,
06:18and have likely spent time at all of them. One of Adam Sandler's homes is a 3,000-square-foot
06:23Malibu mansion that he purchased in 2001 for $3.1 million. He still owns that property,
06:30but in 2004, he also bought Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's house,
06:34a 13,000-square-foot home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
06:38The transaction cost $12 million at the time, and the Sandler family still lives there today.
06:45Hey, buddy! Welcome to the neighborhood!
06:49In 2022, Adam kept his real estate purchasing close to home by buying
06:53another Pacific Palisades property for $4 million.
06:57Sandler also owns condos in Brentwood, Calabasas,
07:01and West Hollywood, as well as one in Boca Raton, Florida. The Florida residence is
07:06reportedly where his mother lives, but Adam, Jackie, Sadie, and Sonny have spent plenty of
07:10time in Florida, too. No matter where Sadie and Sonny are sleeping, it's a property worth millions.
07:17Sandler has often said that he's committed to giving his daughters the most normal
07:20upbringing possible. He said at a press conference,
07:24"'The idea of my kids being spoiled,
07:26I go to sleep thinking about it and I wake up thinking about it. I'm trying to do the right
07:30thing. With the amount of money I have, it's difficult raising children the way that I was
07:34raised, as the son of an electrician."
07:36But it would take an insane amount of effort for Adam's daughters to have a normal life.
07:41Nearly every part of it is luxurious, right down to the cars they ride in.
07:45While Adam's car collection isn't quite as flashy as one might expect given his means,
07:50he's still spent plenty on wheels, meaning Sadie and Sonny have been passengers in some
07:55pricey vehicles. The actor is partial to Cadillacs, and he's got the keys to a CT4,
08:00a DTS, and an Escalade ESV. If a shopper were to seek out a CT4 today,
08:06they'd be looking at spending anywhere from $31,000 to $59,000 on the car. As for a brand
08:13new Escalade ESV today, anyone in the market for one needs to plan to spend at least $87,000.
08:20For many residents of Southern California, a trip to Disneyland is a time-honored tradition,
08:26and that includes celebrities.
08:28Man, we trying to get to Disneyland."
08:30Sandler has taken his daughters to the amusement park on multiple occasions,
08:34giving them the opportunity to mingle with Mickey and Minnie Mouse and drive on the Autopia track.
08:39He's also brought his children to Disney World in Florida. Taking multiple trips to Disneyland
08:43isn't the most common side of wealth, but it definitely counts. It can cost as much as $165
08:49per day per person for entry to the park, and that only gets visitors inside. Once inside,
08:54the costs continue to rise once you start paying for food and souvenirs.
08:58For Adam's family of four, he likely spends about $1,000 per day on a trip to Disneyland,
09:03and that doesn't account for the drive. It's about 50 miles one way from his home in the
09:08Pacific Palisades to Anaheim, where Disneyland is located. But it seems that Adam would do
09:13whatever it takes to make his daughters happy.
09:16Sadie and Sunny's nights out look a little different than most teenagers do,
09:20and the fun doesn't stop at Disneyland. Sandler's daughters often have the chance
09:24to attend exclusive and expensive events, both on account of their father and for their own
09:29efforts. In 2024, Sadie was spotted with her parents sitting courtside at a Lakers game.
09:34While some tickets to professional basketball games can be secured at an inexpensive price,
09:39sitting courtside is always pricey. There's no way around it. A few months before that,
09:45Sadie and Sunny took to the green carpet to celebrate the film Leo,
09:48which they both lent their voices to alongside Adam.
09:51In 2023, Sadie and Sunny got to attend an even more exclusive event,
09:55a gala performance at which Adam received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
10:00Though the prize is given out annually, not just anyone is allowed to attend the event.
10:05Sadie and Sunny were lucky enough to receive a shout-out from their father
10:08during his acceptance speech.
10:10I'm only wishing time will stand still because being with
10:13you two and mom, that's the best life can get.
