In 2018, Brown was featured in the Time 100 list of the world's most influential people,[2] and was appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, the youngest person ever selected for this position.[3]
Millie Bonnie Brown was born in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain,[4] on 19 February 2004,[5] the third of four children born to British parents Kelly and Robert Brown. Her middle name is "Bonnie"[6] but she was given the name "Bobby" by her estate agent father,[7] and subsequently used it as her stage name.[6][8] She was born with partial hearing loss in her left ear and gradually lost all hearing in that ear over several years.[9][10] She moved with her family back to England when she was four, settling in Bournemouth. When she was eight, the family moved to Orlando, Florida.[11] Brown says she grew up with "no money" and the financial insecurity of her upbringing has affected her relationship with money even as an adult who gained financial success through Stranger Things.[12]
In November 2016, Brown starred in the music video for Sigma and Birdy's single "Find Me". Since November 2016, she has appeared in commercial advertisements for investment and financial service company Citigroup.[22] In January 2017, she made her modelling debut in Calvin Klein's "By Appointment" campaign.[23] The following month, she was signed to the agency IMG Models.[24] Brown appeared in the advertisement campaign of the Italian brand Moncler in the summer of 2018.[25] Brown has also made appearances on the cover of Vogue.[26]
Brown was chosen to voice in the Darren Aronofsky-produced virtual reality experience Spheres: Songs of Spacetime.[27] In 2018, she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time, becoming the youngest person to be included in the list.[28][29] Additionally, she was named by Time magazine as one of the most influential teens of 2017 and of 2018.[30][31] That year, she become the youngest person ever to be appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.[32]EA Games announced that Brown collaborated with The Sims 4 programmers to feature in the Sims 4 Positivity Challenge.[33] In 2018, The Hollywood Reporter ranked Brown as amongst Hollywood's top thirty stars under age eighteen.[34]
In 2022, Brown reprised her role as Enola Holmes in the sequel, Enola Holmes 2, and according to Variety earned $10 million for the role, emerging as one of the year's highest paid actresses in Hollywood.[45][46] That year, she was also made an ambassador of the fashion brand Louis Vuitton.[47][48] Brown released her debut novel, Nineteen Steps, based on her own family history, in September 2023. The novel is described as an "epic story of love, loss and secrets".[49]
Brown has been branded a "stream queen" by some media due to her predominantly appearing in content originally released on streaming services, mainly Netflix.[52] Louis Chilton of The Independent wrote that while actors were often segregated based on medium such as film or television, "as the money and creative prestige migrated to television, the line between movie stars and TV actors has become more porous, and it was into this amorphous environment that streaming was born – meaning that there's never really been such a thing as a "streaming actor". Until Brown, that is".[53]
Brown came into the public eye at age 12 after being cast in Stranger Things.[54] At age 14, memes using homophobic quotes which were falsely attributed to Brown began circulating on social media, which Brown stated was one of the reasons she eventually left Twitter.[55] In addition to online bullying, she has also faced social media users and articles sexualising her.[54] In response, Brown captioned a 2020 Instagram post on her 16th birthday with the following comment:
There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualisation and unnecessary insults that have ultimately resulted in pain and insecurity for me.[56]
After Brown turned 18 in February 2022, her social media profiles began to be flooded by sexually explicit material from users.[57]
In 2021, Brown began a relationship with actor Jake Bongiovi.[58] In April 2023, she announced their engagement.[59] On 27 May 2024, People reported that the couple had married in a private ceremony the previous weekend.[60] Brown also announced that she had chosen to take her husband's last name.[61] They live in the state of Georgia.[62]
As of August 2022, she has been an online student at Purdue University Global, studying health and human services.[63]
On 3 March 2025, addressing media backlash over her appearance, Brown posted a video on her Instagram account criticising journalists, including multiple reporters for Daily Mail and former Great British Bake Off host Matt Lucas for what she said was bullying and body shaming. Brown stated that as an adult she should not be expected to continue looking like a child.[64][65] The next day, Lucas posted an apology on Instagram for his comments.[64][66]
