Overview

• Speaking at the American Black Film Festival on June 12, Union admitted she ignored her father’s warning to buy new and splurged on a black-on-black Mazda Miata with leather seats as her first major purchase.
• She quipped that the Miata’s leather seats in Los Angeles scorched her skin every time she exited the car.
• Union recalled lamenting that the Miata’s value dropped the moment it left the dealership, just as her father had predicted.
• Union and her husband, former NBA star Dwyane Wade, maintain a 50/50 split on household expenses and signed a prenuptial agreement before their 2014 marriage to protect their individual earnings.
• Despite breakout roles in late-1990s hits like “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Bring It On,” Union says she continues to wrestle with anxiety over meeting financial responsibilities.
