In an interview with Vanity Fair, the actress admitted: “I don’t have many friends, because of who I am. I didn’t go to school, so I don’t have the best social skills.”

She’ll be able to retire there when the algorithm is no longer counting on her. For now, after Stranger Things and the third Enola Holmes movie, she’s signed another film with Netflix. According to Bloomberg, in the third season of Stranger Things, she earned $250,000 per episode. Millie Bobby Brown is the closest thing to those classic movie stars who had exclusive contracts with a studio. It was their home — like Marilyn Monroe with Fox or James Stewart with MGM. The difference today is that she’s a movie star without stepping foot in a movie theater.

"I also struggle with loneliness a bit. I always felt quite alone in a crowded room, like I was just one of a kind, like nobody ever really understood me."

On the other hand, she could struggle with this and not be rich. So it probably worked out pretty well for her.

I don't know her personal struggles, but I think part of growing up is feeling like that. That's why so much of the music kids listen to has that theme regardless of genre. Pop, punk, country, metal, rap - it's all "no one understands me". Then I think you meet other likeminded people and you grow out of it as you realize the whole world is filled with individuals and they all have their own stuff going on. You're not a special snowflake when you realize everyone is, and then you kinda become an adult who lives in society.
