Who are the highest paid actresses under 30? Millie Bobby Brown leaves Sydney Sweeney behind; View full list

Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses under 30 are among Gen Z’s most beloved stars. Topping the list is Zendaya, best known for her roles in the beloved teen drama Euphoria and this year’s blockbuster Dune: Part 2. Meanwhile, Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, who has also become a businesswoman by opening her own production company, came third on the list.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown beat Sweeney into second place. Zendaya reportedly paid $10 million for her latest film, The Contenders, directed by Luca Guadagnino. Brown earned the same amount for Enola Holmes 2. Meanwhile, Sweeney earned $7.5 million for her role in Maid.

Oscar nominee Florence Pugh came in fifth place with a $7 million payday for her upcoming Marvel film Thunderbolts. Next on the list was Jenna Ortega, who paid $6 million for her upcoming untitled film with JJ Abrams.

Netizens have pitted Any But You actress Sydney Sweeney and Millie Bobby Brown against each other for the coveted role of pop sensation Britney Spears in her biopic. The fact that the actresses are next to each other on the list of the highest paid stars under 30 has further fueled the debate. Interestingly, Brown, the founder of Florence by Mills, has openly expressed her desire to play the role.

In 2022, during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Brown shared how much she admires the Gimme More singer and said that playing Spears would be a dream.

“I want to play a real person, and I think for me it would be Britney Spears,” she said at the time. “Her story resonates with me. Growing up in front of the public eye. I watch her videos, I watch interviews when she was younger… I see a struggle for words,” she added.

However, netizens believe that Sweeney may be better suited for the role and can convey the dramatic side of Spears’ story. Sweeney has already proven her versatility by playing unique characters, from Cassie in Euphoria to Olivia in The White Lotus. Fans are convinced that Sweeney will do his best to play the pop star.
