Early Life
Margot Elise Robbie was born on July 2, 1990, on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. She spent her early childhood in the rural town of Dalby before moving back to the Gold Coast with her mother, physiotherapist Sarie Kessler, after her parents separated. Raised largely on her grandparents' farm, she attended Somerset College, where she studied drama, and worked jobs including tending bar and cleaning houses before moving to Melbourne to pursue acting.
Acting Career
Breakthrough: Neighbours and The Wolf of Wall Street
Robbie's first major role was Donna Freedman on the Australian soap opera Neighbours (2008–2011), earning two Logie Award nominations. After moving to the United States, her breakthrough film role came as Naomi Lapaglia in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) opposite Leonardo DiCaprio — a performance widely praised by critics.
Harley Quinn and Critical Acclaim
She became the first actress to portray Harley Quinn in live action in Suicide Squad (2016), reprising the role in Birds of Prey (2020) and The Suicide Squad (2021). Her portrayal of figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya (2017) — the first release from her own production company — earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She earned a second Oscar nomination for Bombshell (2019), and further acclaim for Mary Queen of Scots (2018), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), and Babylon (2022).
Barbie and Producing Power
In 2023, Robbie starred in and produced Barbie, which became her highest-grossing release at over $1.4 billion worldwide and earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture as a producer. She was the world's highest-paid actress in 2023. She has since produced and starred in Wuthering Heights (2026).
LuckyChap Entertainment
In 2014, Robbie co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with Tom Ackerley and friends Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara, with the aim of producing more female-driven projects. The company has produced I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman (2020), Barbie, Saltburn (2023), and the series Maid (2021).
Husband and Family
Robbie met British filmmaker Tom Ackerley on the set of Suite Française in 2013, where he worked as an assistant director. They began a relationship in 2014 and married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, in December 2016.
In October 2024, the couple welcomed their first child, a son. They have kept his name and photos private, though Robbie has said motherhood is "the best" experience. The couple lives in Los Angeles.
Net Worth
Robbie's net worth is estimated between approximately $60 million and $90 million, depending on the outlet. Her fortune comes from acting salaries, a reported ~$50 million payday from Barbie (salary plus box office bonuses through her producer deal), profits from LuckyChap Entertainment's successful slate, and endorsement deals with luxury brands including Chanel and Calvin Klein.
