Dylan Penn is an American model and actress who has a net worth of $4 million. The daughter of actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright, Dylan Penn initially resisted the pull of the entertainment industry, carving out her own path through modeling and low-profile jobs before making a name for herself in front of the camera. Her career began with a buzzworthy editorial in GQ and grew with campaigns for brands like Gap and Stuart Weitzman. She later transitioned into acting, with performances in "Elvis & Nixon," "Flag Day," and other indie projects that showcased her talent beyond her famous last name.
Early Life
Dylan Frances Penn was born in Los Angeles on April 13, 1991, to actors Sean Penn and Robin Wright. Her uncles are the late Chris Penn and musician Michael Penn. Through her uncle Michael, Aimee Mann is her aunt. Her younger brother, Hopper Jack, was born in 1993. In 2016, Sean Penn began dating Australian actress Leila George. They married in 2020 and divorced in 2022. At the time they started dating, she was 24 and he was 55. Leila is one year younger than Dylan and one year older than Hopper. Her father, actor Vincent D'Onofrio, is one year older than Sean.
Dylan moved with her family from Los Angeles to Marin County in the mid-1990s. In middle school and high school, her family lived in the town of Ross. She attended Marin Academy for high school.
Despite her family's prominence in Hollywood, Penn had a relatively grounded upbringing and did not immediately pursue a career in entertainment. She studied at the University of Southern California for a brief period before dropping out. Over the years, she worked a variety of jobs, including delivering pizzas, waitressing, and interning at an advertising agency.

Modeling Career
Dylan's modeling breakthrough came in 2013 with a sultry editorial spread in GQ, which quickly made her a sought-after name in fashion. She went on to appear in W magazine, Elle, Vogue, and Treats!, among others. Her striking features and off-camera confidence landed her a high-profile ad campaign for Gap in 2014 and later work with Stuart Weitzman. She was also featured in a music video for Nick Jonas's song "Chains," further cementing her place in the cultural conversation.
While her last name garnered attention, Penn quickly proved she had the presence and professionalism to build a career on her own merits. Her modeling work stood out for balancing sensuality and sophistication, and she often spoke candidly in interviews about her desire to avoid being typecast or treated as a "nepo baby."

Acting Career
Penn made her acting debut in the 2015 horror-comedy "Condemned," and while the film itself received mixed reviews, her performance attracted enough attention to open further doors. In 2016, she appeared in the political drama "Elvis & Nixon" alongside Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon.
Her most significant acting moment came in 2021 with "Flag Day," a drama directed by her father, Sean Penn. In the film, Dylan played Jennifer Vogel, the daughter of a con artist (played by Sean). The film marked their first on-screen collaboration and drew praise for Dylan's nuanced performance. Critics noted that she brought emotional weight to the role and held her own opposite more seasoned actors, signaling her growing maturity as an actress.
She has since continued to pursue roles in independent film, often choosing projects that allow her to explore darker or more complex characters rather than typical Hollywood fare.
