Gabrielle Union Reveals How She Spent Her First Major Paycheck


Gabrielle Union isn’t immune to buyer’s remorse.

The Bring It On star revealed her first big splurge after finding success in Hollywood, though she called the purchase “so stupid” in hindsight.

“I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ve made it when I have a Mazda,’” she recalled during a panel discussion at the American Black Film Festival in Miami June 12, according to People. “My dad’s like, ‘Don’t buy a brand new car. It depreciates the second you drive it off the lot.’”

Despite her father’s advice, the 52-year-old said she proceeded to purchase a Mazda Miata sports car, though she admitted she eventually came to second guess her choice of upholstery due to the sweltering California heat.

“Lemme tell you about leather seats in Los Angeles,” she went on. “Do you know I scorched myself every time I got out? Yeah, that was my first purchase.”

Gabrielle added that, as her dad had predicted, “It depreciated the second I drove it off the lot.”
