Barbie star Margot Robbie reveals the stunning way she repaid her supportive mother after finding success in Hollywood
Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning, the Barbie star, 33, revealed she spent her first movie earnings to pay off the mortgage on Sari’s $490,000 home in Southport, Australia.
Margot explained that she’d always intended to give money to her mother once she made it in Hollywood, as Sari had financially supported her at the beginning of her career.
‘Everything I owed my mum I had it written down. She’d take money out of the, like, house mortgage [to] lend me money,’ Margot began.
‘So I always knew, I was like, ‘I gotta pay that back’. And then one day, when I made enough money, I just paid that whole mortgage off completely,’ she added.

She paid off the mortgage on Sari’s 60th birthday, a year Margot she shot to superstardom in The Wolf of Wall Street.
‘I was like, ‘Mum, don’t even worry about that mortgage anymore. It doesn’t even exist anymore’. Honestly, anyone in my position, you’d do that for your mum,’ she said.
Back in 2014, Sari told The Gold Coast Bulletin that Margot had made her 60th birthday the ‘best one ever’, saying: ‘It was an amazing thing [that Margot did] but I don’t want to say anything more about it.’
