Mia Goth

Mia Goth is a British actress and model who has become one of the most compelling performers in modern horror cinema. Born Mia Gypsy Mello da Silva Goth on November 25, 1993, in London, England, she has Brazilian and Canadian heritage through her parents. Goth spent parts of her childhood in Brazil and Canada before returning to London, where she was discovered by a modeling scout at age 14. Her unique look and presence quickly led to opportunities in both fashion and film.

Goth’s early film career included notable supporting roles in Nymphomaniac (2013) directed by Lars von Trier, A Cure for Wellness (2016) by Gore Verbinski, and Suspiria (2018) alongside Tilda Swinton. These roles established her willingness to take on challenging, unconventional material and showed her comfort working with visionary directors. She also appeared in the sci-fi film High Life (2018) directed by Claire Denis.

Her career reached an entirely new level with Ti West’s X trilogy. In X (2022), she played two roles, the young aspiring actress Maxine and the elderly Pearl, demonstrating extraordinary range. The prequel Pearl (2022), which Goth co-wrote with West, was a tour de force performance that earned her widespread critical acclaim and awards buzz. She completed the trilogy with MaXXXine (2024), reprising her role as Maxine Minx. The X trilogy established Goth as a genuine horror icon and proved she could carry franchise films as a leading lady.

With the success of the X trilogy and a growing list of credits with acclaimed directors, Goth’s estimated net worth is $3 million. She has become one of the most exciting and unpredictable actresses working today, known for her fearless commitment to complex and often disturbing roles. Her co-writing credit on Pearl also signals ambitions beyond acting.
