"Millie Bobby Brown revealed she still uses her parents' Netflix account, jokingly saying she "refuses to pay" because they already do, viewing herself as a kid in their eyes, despite her multimillion-dollar earnings from shows like Stranger Things and films like Enola Holmes. This habit reflects her upbringing with "no money," making her frugal, with her parents often encouraging big purchases, even now after her marriage. Key Details: Still on the Family Plan: Brown confirmed she's part of the "family deal" for Netflix, according to recent interviews on shows like the Capital Evening Show.

"Haha, Millie at 21 with a $20M net worth still mooching off her parents' Netflix like the rest of us mortals? Iconic. "Still a child in my eyes" same, girl, same. Netflix owes her a lifetime free sub anyway for carrying half their catalog. 😂", commented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"This is peak relatability. I am glad to know even A-list celebrities who make millions are still milking the family Netflix deal! 🤣 She is one of us. Does she at least get a designated profile, or is she still logging in under "Dad's Profile"?", penned a netizen.
"So she is making $1,250,000 per episode ONLY for the last season but she does not want to pay for a Netflix account? Girl bye", declared another.
"She is lying cause Netflix was too thirsty to crack down on password sharing 👀", stated a third.

As of 2025, Millie Bobby Brown's estimated net worth is $20 million.
