Margot Robbie and her siblings were raised by her single mother. On her mother's 60th birthday, as a gift, she paid off the entire mortgage of the house her mother lives in.

Her mother, Sarie Kessler is a physiotherapist, and her father Doug Robbie, is a sugarcane tycoon. Her father left them when she was an infant and hence her relationship with her father is strained.
She, along with her three siblings, was raised by her mother and grandparents in their farm. She has an older brother Lachlan, younger brother Cameron and a sister, Anya.
She has worked in the farm and even did three jobs at the age of 16 to support her family. She loved spending her free time surfing or hunting wild pigs on the farm.
Margot Robbie started her acting career in 2007 with two independent Australian films directed by Aash Aaron. While the action feature film 'Vigilante' was released in 2008, the thriller film 'I.C.U.' was not released until 2009.
In 2008, she appeared as a guest in two episodes of the Australian children's television series 'The Elephant Princess'. The same year, she also made guest appearance in another TV series, 'City Homicide', and worked on a number of commercials.
Her first big break also came in the form of a guest role initially. In June 2008, she appeared as Donna Freedman on the Australian soap opera 'Neighbours'. However, her performance impressed the producers enough to make her role a regular one. She appeared on the show till January 2011. She returned to the series in 2015 for a special documentary celebrating the 30th anniversary of the show.
In 2011, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a Hollywood career, and auditioned for the new series of 'Charlie's Angels'. Instead, she was offered the role of Laura Cameron, a newly trained flight attendant, in the ABC drama series 'Pan Am'.
She got her first big movie role in 2012, in the romantic comedy film 'About Time'. The movie, which released in 2013, featured Robbie alongside stars like Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy.
Margot Robbie got recognition for her role in the critically and commercially successful movie, 'The Wolf of Wall Street', in which she played Leonardo DiCaprio's wife. The film grossed $392 million worldwide, becoming director Scorsese's highest-grossing film.
She is best known for playing the role of the DC villain Harley Quinn in the movie 'Suicide Squad'. The movie was successful at the box office, grossing a worldwide total of $745.6 million. While the film disappointed many critics, Robbie's performance was praised and earned her awards and nominations.
