Millie Bobby Brown, born February 19, 2004, in Marbella, Spain, is a British actress, producer, and entrepreneur best known for her role as Eleven in Netflix’s Stranger Things. A breakout star at age 12, she has since established herself as a versatile talent in acting, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and the founder of Florence by Mills, a clean beauty and coffee brand. With multiple Emmy nominations and a growing business empire, Brown is one of the youngest influential figures in entertainment, recognized by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in 2018.

Early Life and Family

Brown was born to British parents Kelly and Robert Brown, the third of four children, with siblings Paige, Charlie, and Ava. Raised in Bournemouth, England, after moving from Spain at age four, she faced financial struggles, including her family’s bankruptcy. Born with partial hearing loss in one ear, she became fully deaf in that ear by age eight but pursued acting undeterred. The family relocated to Orlando, Florida, in 2011 to support her career, selling their home to fund the move. Discovered at an acting workshop, Brown began auditioning at age eight, landing her first role in 2013.

Brown married Jake Bongiovi, son of Jon Bon Jovi, on May 24, 2024, in a private ceremony, with a second celebration in Florence, Italy, in September 2024. The couple, engaged since April 2023, resides in New York City and London. Brown is studying human services online at Purdue University, balancing her education with her career.

Brown debuted as young Alice in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (2013), followed by roles in NCIS, Modern Family, and Grey’s Anatomy. Her breakthrough came as Eleven in Stranger Things (2016–present), earning her a Primetime Emmy nomination at age 13 and $300,000 per episode by Season 4. She starred in and produced Enola Holmes (2020) and Enola Holmes 2 (2022) for Netflix, playing Sherlock Holmes’ sister, with each film grossing over 75 million hours viewed.

In 2019, Brown launched Florence by Mills, a vegan, clean beauty brand targeting Gen Z, offering skincare, makeup, and coffee products. Valued at $100 million in 2023, the brand donates 1% of profits to mental health charities via the Florence by Mills Fund. Brown also signed endorsement deals with Louis Vuitton, Samsung, and Converse, and collaborated with Vogue Eyewear. Her production company, PCMA Productions, has backed Enola Holmes and Damsel, with Brown earning $10 million for the latter, a record for an actress under 20.

Social Media and Influence

With 62 million Instagram followers (@milliebobbybrown) and 1 million on X (@MillieBBrown), Brown earns up to $125,000 per sponsored post. Her social media presence amplifies her advocacy for anti-bullying, mental health, and children’s rights, earning her the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador title in 2018, the youngest appointee at the time.

Net Worth

Millie Bobby Brown’s net worth is estimated at $14–$20 million in 2025, per sources like Celebrity Net Worth and Seventeen. Her wealth stems from acting ($7.5 million for Damsel, $1 million per Stranger Things Season 4 episode), Florence by Mills ($5–$10 million in revenue annually), and endorsements. Assets include a $3 million London apartment and a $1.5 million Orlando home. Claims of a $50 million net worth are unverified and likely exaggerated.

Personal Life and Philanthropy

Brown is a vocal advocate for mental health, drawing from her experiences with online bullying and anxiety. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, she supports children’s education and refugee aid, visiting camps in Jordan and Lebanon. She donated $1 million to COVID-19 relief in 2020 and supports the Olivia Hope Foundation for childhood cancer research.
