Millie Bobby Brown Net Worth
As of 2022, $10 million was Millie Bobby Brown’s estimated net worth, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Millie Bobby Brown’s net worth can be attributed to her leading roles in blockbusters like Godzilla: King of the Monsters in 2019 and Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021, as well as Netflix originals Enola Holmes and The Girls I’ve Been, in addition to her Stranger Things contract. Since her net worth was first estimated at $6.8 million in 2017, Millie’s brand and her endorsement deals with well-known brands like Samsung, Converse, Vogue Eyewear, and EA Games have all helped to significantly increase it.
Millie Brown, the oldest of four children born to English Kelly and Robert Brown, was born on February 19, 2004, in the Spanish city of Marbella. Paige and Ava are Millie’s sisters, and Charlie is her brother. The father of the girl is a real estate broker.
When Millie was around four years old, her family relocated to Bournemouth, a well-known English seaside resort. The Browns relocated to Orlando, Florida, four years later. Brown currently resides “in two houses”—Los Angeles and London.
Millie Bobby Brown Career
In 2013, 9-year-old Millie made her debut in the fantasy series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, in which the girl played little Alice in two episodes. The main character in adulthood was played by Australian actress Sophie Lowe. The following year, the young actress landed the lead role in the BBC paranormal drama series Intruders. Millie played Madison O’Donnell, a 9-year-old girl who is plagued by strange nightmares and excruciating headaches after meeting a mysterious stranger on the beach.
Brown then appeared in episodes of the comedy crime series NCIS, the comedy story Modern Family, and the medical series Grey’s Anatomy.
In 2016, the girl was offered to play one of the main characters in the new mythical detective thriller from Netflix—the series Stranger Things by the Duffer Brothers. After a single audition, Brown was cast as Eleven, the daughter of Terry Ives (actress Aimee Mullins), a girl with extremely strong psychic abilities. Fate brings her into contact with a group of peers who are investigating the mysterious disappearance of their friend.
Especially for filming, Millie had to shave off all her hair. On the set, the girl was lucky to work with Winona Ryder and David Harbor, as well as novice actors like Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, and Caleb McLaughlin.
The series’ writers praised Millie for her acting. She adjusted to the cameras’ positions and the shooting environment better than most young actresses. When filming the first season, the cast occasionally forgot that she was 11 years old, yet the childlike quality occasionally persisted. When asked where she got the sequins, Brown once arrived at the location covered in them and said, “I have no idea.” The young actress needed to be washed for almost an hour.
Brown received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in recognition of her outstanding effort. The young woman fought for the prestigious award against Thandie Newton, Winona Ryder, and Robin Wright, but Claire Foy won it for her performance in the television series The Crown. Additionally, Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia from The Handmaid’s Tale) won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, beating out Brown.
However, Millie, along with her co-stars, took home the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Cast in a Drama Series, ahead of seasoned performers from popular series such as Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, and Westworld, and others.
The series, somewhat reminiscent of the cult “Twin Peaks” by David Lynch, had the effect of an exploding bomb and was treated kindly by both viewers and critics. Millie began to be compared with Natalie Portman-there is an external resemblance, and an early (and brilliant) start to a career, and even a shaved head (however, Natalie did this much later, at 25 years old).
In November 2016, Brown starred in the music video for Sigma and Birdy’s single “FindMe.” Millie also became the face of an advertising campaign for Citigroup, one of the largest international financial conglomerates.
During the same time period, Millie was considered for the role of Laura Kinney, or X-23, Wolverine’s genetic daughter in Logan: The Wolverine, but the role went to Anglo-Spanish actress Daphne Keen. In early 2017, Brown became the model for Calvin Klein’s new By Appointment project. Together with Millie, the new product was presented by actress Abby Lee and model Natalie Westling. The following month, the girl signed a contract with the modeling agency IMG Models.
In October 2017, the second season of Stranger Things was released along with Millie Bobby Brown.
In parallel with OSD, Millie starred in the fantasy action movie Godzilla 2, and then in its sequel, Godzilla vs. Kong. It was her first feature film experience. Millie tried to watch her senior colleagues and listen to the instructions of the directors, but sometimes her penchant for practical jokes found a way out:
Another very important project for Millie is the feature-length detective Enola Holmes, released on Netflix in 2020. This is also the production debut of the young actress. It all started with the fact that Millie’s sister, Paige, devoured Nancy Springer’s books about Sherlock Holmes’ niece Enola, then Millie herself became addicted to them and set about filming them. Together with her father, she came to the Legendary Pictures studio and presented her project, and it was approved because the actual idea of gender equality ran through the plot.
Millie Bobby Brown’s Personal Life
The girl has a lot of fans. At the beginning of 2018, her subscribers decided that the young actress was having an affair with singer Jacob Sartorius – suspiciously often they exchanged cute comments on social networks. Jacob is 2 years older than Millie.
Then she was suspected of having an affair with rugby player Joseph Robinson, and in 2020 she began dating Tiktoker Hunter “Echo” Ecimovic. Millie did not officially confirm this relationship, but Hunter explicitly stated that he lived at the actress’s house for 8 months. What angered the public was that at that time, Millie was 16, and he was 20.
