They say it\u2019s hard to make a quick buck these days, but Courtney Tillia can happily nix that notion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While most 9-to-5ers are living hand to mouth amid the unyielding inflation crisis, the ex-special education teacher-turned-OnlyFans model <\/a>is making money hand over fist, creating X-rated content for strangers \u2014 including diehards of the New York Knicks.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cA subscriber just sent me a Patrick Ewing jersey, asking me to twerk in it, wearing nothing else, then to enjoy some solo fun before stripping it off,\u201d Tillia, 39, exclusively told The Post of the explicit, albeit lucrative, self-pleasuring proposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n Courtney Tillia, who formerly earned less than $36,000 a year as a teacher, is now making hundreds of dollars in minutes, thanks to randy New York Knicks fans. Courtesy Courtney Tillia<\/p>\n Although 63-year-old Ewing \u2014 who played with the Knicks for 15 seasons, from 1985 until 2000 \u2014\u00a0isn\u2019t sweating it out<\/a>\u00a0on the court alongside the likes of current ballers Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, the icon\u2019s legacy is still, evidently, quite arousing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a custom request, meaning the content was made specifically for [the Ewing fan],\u201d she added, withholding the New Yorker\u2019s name was for privacy. \u201cI charge $150 for every five minutes of a custom video, and this was a 10-minute clip, so I made $300.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s nice work if you can get it.\u00a0<\/p>\n And now, as the Knicks, holding a 2-0 series lead, lace up to matchup against the San Antonio Spurs for Game 3 of the NBA Finals Monday night, Tillia\u2019s making gains while the getting is good.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Knicks are scheduled to face off against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on June 8. Aristide Economopoulos for NY Post<\/p>\n The Big Apple\u2019s chances of winning its first Championship since 1973 haven\u2019t been this good in decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ewing and the team fell short of glory in 1994, losing to the Houston Rockets. The boys in orange and blue also endured an equally upsetting defeat at the hands of the Spurs in 1999 after five ill-fated face-offs.\u00a0<\/p>\n But with the Larry O\u2019Brien Championship trophy squarely in Gotham\u2019s reach this year, Knicks super fans, lovable loons who\u2019ve spent upwards of $20,000<\/a> on tickets this season, and OnlyFans sirens such as Tillia alike are praying for a miracle.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI love New York, and I love New York fans, and so I was happy to do any Knicks-related content,\u201d said the model<\/a>, a wife and mother of four, from Los Angeles. \u201cThe happier my fans are when their team is winning, the better [the business] for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Ewing recently told The Post about his devastating finals loss in the early 1990s. Getty Images<\/p>\n Tillia says she\u2019s received an influx of requests for naughty Knicks-related content in the wake of the team\u2019s successful run. @yassmin_photo<\/p>\n Beyond making bank via saucy Knicks-inspired stunts, Tillia\u2019s raking in riches from Cameo, an online platform that allows subscribers to purchase personalized video messages from their favorite celebrities \u2014 with demands she recite NYC\u2019s newly viral fandom chant for pay.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m getting a lot of Cameo requests to say that \u2018My mayor Muslim, my bagels Jewish, my Christian Dior, Knicks in 4\u2019 phrase,\u201d Tillia laughed. \u201cFor those, I\u2019m fully clothed, my rate is $45 for 30 seconds. So, the money has been great.\u201d<\/p>\n Making hundreds in minutes has become the new normal for Tillia since she walked away from the classroom in 2016. With the full support of husband Nick, the brunette has gone from earning less than $36,000 a year at the chalkboard to pocketing those same figures or more<\/a> each month as a virtual vixen, specializing in \u201cnaughty teacher,\u201d \u201cMILF\u201d and now \u201cKnicks\u201d erotica online.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tillia told The Post that her husband, Nick, not only encouraged her to pursue OnlyFans full-time, but has also become her creative director, photographer and videographer during certain shoots. @jsnowphoto.official<\/p>\n \u201cMy income as a teacher [was] next to nothing. I couldn\u2019t even pay my student loans,\u201d she told The Post. \u201cI remember getting a $1,500 bill when my paycheck was barely $2,000. I was, like, \u2018How do you live like this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Even after getting a master\u2019s degree, hoping the postgraduate credential would command a massive pay increase, the stunner only made an extra $20 per check. After calling it quits, Tillia began selling sexy images on Snapchat before officially joining OnlyFans in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been life-changing,\u201d said the pinup with more than 1.1 million followers across cyberspace. \u201cAs a teacher, I\u2019d filed bankruptcy; we had the car repossessed.\u201d<\/p>\n Tillia is grateful to her fans in New York City and beyond for making her financial dreams a reality. Courtesy Courtney Tillia<\/p>\n \u201cNow, I\u2019ve moved my family from Arizona to LA, where the cost of living is extremely high, and we can buy anything that we want,\u201d she added, rattling off, \u201ccars, vacations, trips to Manhattan to see Broadway plays, anything my kids need.\u201d<\/p>\n For quick peeks at her freaky material, the mom, whose brood \u2014 including two older stepchildren \u2014 ranges in age from 12 to 25, charges a flat subscription rate of $14. Admirers with bigger appetites, however, pay handsome surcharges for videos, customized content or NSFW photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n But the bombshell breadwinner doesn\u2019t selfishly squander the dough.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tillia, along with her hubby and children, uses a portion of her OnlyFans profits to save unhoused hounds from certain death. Courtesy: Courtney Tillia<\/p>\n \u201cMy family and I launched a nonprofit dog rescue <\/a>called Minnie\u2019s Mutts, which is being funded by my OnlyFans, and we have saved 73 dogs from being euthanized in the last year,\u201d said Tillia, grateful to her fanbase, especially those no-nonsense Knicks extremists, funding her dream life.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI love the Knicks energy and the excitement in New York City right now as a whole,\u201d the frequent visitor gushed. \u201cI love seeing fans pour into the streets<\/a> to watch the games projected on the side of buildings and\u00a0bodegas.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I love that some of those fans love me, too,\u201d Tillia chuckled. \u201cI am here for all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
