A little background:

"Dylan comes from a well-connected family in San Diego.

Her grandfather, James Mulvaney Sr., who died at age 87 in 2010, was a lawyer, investment banker and president of the old San Diego Padres baseball team. He later was vice-president and general counsel of the Padres when they entered the National League."

Mulvaney Sr. also worked as a banker and businessman for the controversial financier and industrialist C. Arnholt Smith at Westgate Corporation, who was one of Richard Nixon’s earliest supporters as well as friend to mobsters like Moe Dalitz.

Smith’s empire collapsed in 1973 when his bank, the US National Bank, where James Mulvaney Sr. was president for awhile collapsed.

At the time, the Wall Street Journal called the bank collapse “the largest in the nation’s history.”

Dylan’s father James Jr., one of Mulvaney Sr.’s seven children with his wife, Ruth, is a San Diego-area philanthropist known for baking and handing out cookies all the time — for free.

In 2020, James Jr. said that that he’d had issues with drug and alcohol and gave them up for good when Dylan was a baby so he could be a better father.

Baking cookies became a fun hobby.

“He makes 500 of them a week, and he’s never sold any of them,” Dylan explained in a 2021 TikTok video. “He just gives them out to random strangers on the street or the beach.”

“They call me the Cookie Man, and I branded myself that way,” James Mulvaney said in 2017. He often bakes about 500 cookies a week."
