Description: Margo Millet’s (Fanning) got money troubles. As the child of a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler (Offerman), she’s always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while their affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion—fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she’ll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx’s advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she’s turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo’s problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?

Margo’s Got Money Troubles
Margo Millet, played by Elle Fanning, is facing a reality that could send anyone into a tailspin. Growing up as the daughter of a Hooters waitress (Michelle Pfeiffer) and an ex-wrestler (Nick Offerman), she’s always lived with the understanding that success would be a self-made journey.
Enrolling at a local junior college, Margo starts to discover that adulthood and responsibility come with daunting challenges. An unexpected affair with an English professor leads to an even more surprising twist—a pregnancy that forces her to reconsider everything. With her dreams feeling out of reach, she bravely decides to keep the baby, driven by a wish for something greater than herself.
At just twenty, alone with an infant and teetering on the edge of eviction, Margo’s situation grows dire. When her estranged father, Jinx, makes a sudden entrance into her life, she reluctantly welcomes him, hoping his presence will lighten her childcare burden. As they navigate this new chapter together, inspiration strikes Margo: what if she created an OnlyFans? Armed with Jinx’s wrestling wisdom, she begins to craft an online persona that quickly captures attention.
What starts as a desperate experiment soon blossoms into an unexpected triumph. Yet as Margo rises to fame, she must confront the question many face in the digital age: does the allure of online stardom come with sacrifices that might prove too steep? With a unique blend of humor, heartbreak, and hope, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” challenges viewers to reflect on vulnerability, ambition, and the ties that bind family together.
