Dandy Hats founder shows off his supercar fleet at Hidden Hills Club's 4-year party

A four-slide carousel. The cover pairs a daytime photo of a lineup of mostly white supercars, including several Lamborghinis and one car with a Dandy Hats banner on its windshield, with a night shot of Dandy talking with Cisco & Juice outside a restaurant and lounge. Three clips from the Cisco & Juice Kick stream follow: Dandy showing off a green supercar with its door up and saying the cars in the row are all his, Dandy talking about staying humble and hoping his success inspires people, and the group agreeing to link up at the office for an interview.

Dandy, the founder of Dandy Hats, brought his cars to Hidden Hills Club's 4-year anniversary party and gave Kick streamers Cisco & Juice a tour. Juice Unlocked posted the clips Aug. 21, 2026.

Showing them one car, a green supercar with its door up, he called it his "ultimate" car and said it took him about 10 years from when he started his business to get it. Asked how many supercars he had, he pointed down the row: "these are all mine."

Not a flex, he says

Dandy said he had been asked to "pull up" and bring all his cars, and that he didn't really like showing them off that way. He said it was different because of the occasion.

He said he hopes people take it as inspiration rather than bragging. One voice in the clip added that seeing someone from your own community make it makes you think you could be next, and pointed to the community giveaways they do.

“Look, this has been my ultimate premium, like, car. It took me, what, like, since I started my business, like, about 10 years to get it.”

A podcast tease

Before parting ways, the group talked about getting together at "the office" for an interview and agreed to stay in touch. The clip's on-screen text billed it as Dandy teasing a podcast with Juice Unlocked, and the caption asked followers if they wanted to see it happen.

“I'm not trying to flex.”

Who is Dandy

Dandy's real name is Leonardo Sandoval. He grew up in West Covina and built his hat brand into a six-figure business in a couple of years using social media, according to a February 2023 episode of the Offbeat Podcast.

“I hope people look at it as motivation.”

Update

The interview did happen. On the evening of Sept. 2, 2026, less than two weeks later, Juice Unlocked went live with Dandy. The stream is posted on the Juice Unlocked YouTube channel as "Dandy Hats CEO on Making Millions, Getting Robbed & His Top 5 Hat Brands."

“When you see somebody from your community come up and do it, it makes you feel like, damn, I could be the next one.”
