Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi officially tied the knot in May 2024, following a 13-month engagement. The pair, who have been together for over four years, frequently appear at major events together and share sweet moments on social media. Their combined fortunes have recently become a topic of interest among fans, especially given Brown’s impressive net worth.
Millie Bobby Brown’s Wealth and Success at 20
Millie Bobby Brown, the star of Stranger Things, boasts an estimated net worth of $14 million as of May 2024. Her wealth primarily comes from her acting career in film and television, along with endorsement deals with high-end brands and her own cosmetics line. Meanwhile, Jake Bongiovi reportedly has a net worth of around $700,000, roughly 5% of his wife’s.
Combined, the couple’s wealth amounts to approximately $14.7 million. Brown’s success in the entertainment industry has been her primary source of income, building her reputation as a global star at just 20 years old. She first rose to prominence as Eleven in the Netflix thriller Stranger Things (2016-present), with her performance lauded as one of the most impressive by a young star. The show’s success skyrocketed Brown’s career.
Deadline reports that Millie earned around $30,000 per episode during the first two seasons of Stranger Things. As the show’s popularity soared, so did her income, reaching approximately $200,000 – $250,000 per episode by the third season.
By the end of season four, Brown’s pay was rumored to be around $300,000 per episode with bonuses. Her earnings are expected to increase further for the upcoming fifth and final season, set for release in 2025. In January 2023, Business Insider shared insights from Matthew Belloni of Puck News, who hinted that Brown’s Netflix deal is “very lucrative,” though her exact salary for the fifth season hasn’t been disclosed. However, Belloni indicated that other Stranger Things lead actors are earning between $6 million and $9.5 million for this season, suggesting Brown’s pay is on the higher end, alongside Winona Ryder and David Harbour.
Before Stranger Things, Brown had supporting roles in series like Intruders (2014), NCIS (2014), Modern Family (2015), and Grey’s Anatomy (2015). Following her Stranger Things breakthrough, she debuted on the big screen with Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), a box-office hit that grossed approximately $387 million worldwide. Reports claim Brown was paid $1 million for her role.
She returned for the sequel, Godzilla vs. Kong (2021), which performed even better, earning $470 million globally. While her salary for the sequel remains undisclosed, she likely earned more than her previous fee.
Brown’s financial success also includes her starring and producing roles in Netflix’s Enola Holmes series, portraying the sister of Sherlock Holmes. Her performances in Enola Holmes (2020) and the sequel in 2022 solidified her status as a leading actress. Reports suggest she earned $6.1 million for the first film and $10 million for the sequel. Additionally, as a producer on these films, Brown likely earned extra millions from her production role.
In 2024, Brown took on the lead role in Netflix’s dark fantasy movie Damsel, receiving critical acclaim for her performance despite mixed reviews. She is also set to appear in The Electric State, releasing in late 2024, alongside a star-studded cast including Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Giancarlo Esposito, and others.
