It feels like OnlyFans<\/a> stars are making nothing but bank these days.<\/p>\n

From Lil Tay saying she made more than $1 million<\/a> in less than a day after joining the platform to adult entertainer Annie Knight sharing that her monthly intake on the site tripled to $600,000<\/a> after she had sex with 583 men in six hours, the earning potential that OnlyFans provides seems to be growing at a rapid clip.<\/p>\n

“I look at OnlyFans as a business, and the way that I’ve run it from the start is a business,” Knight told E! News<\/a> in June. “It’s not easy, it’s hard work. It’s super oversaturated. It takes a lot to stand out from the crowd and to get attention, subscribers and earn money.”<\/p>\n

However, the Australian model has alleged that she’s noticed other performers in the adult space enhancing their OnlyFans earnings figures.<\/p>\n

“People aren’t making as much money as they say that they are,” Knight said in an August TikTok, “and it’s actually quite difficult to make money. I’ve never lied about my income online. I have said that it ebbs and it flows. However, I have seen women in the industry who I know aren’t earning the amount they say they are, claiming that they’re making these huge amounts of money, and it’s not true.”<\/p>\n

But there is money to be made out there.<\/p>\n

That’s what Teen Mom 2 alum Jenelle Evans discovered when she joined OnlyFans a few years ago and has since made more than $1.5 million<\/a>\u2014according to the number she shared with her friend Tori Rhyne during an Aug. 17 livestream.<\/p>\n

“You’re a millionaire,” Rhyne marveled.<\/p>\n

And while some performers’ online presences are more prolific than others, simply showing up can result in a revenue stream\u2014especially for those who may already have name brand recognition.<\/p>\n

Tennis player Sachia Vickery, who joined in January, called it “the easiest money” she’d ever made<\/a>, as well as an enjoyable endeavor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will never talk s–t about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life,” the 30-year-old athlete said in an August Instagram Q&A, per Daily Mail<\/a>. “Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.”<\/p>\n

But what sort of money are we talking about here? Of course it depends on who’s doing what and how much of it they’re doing, but read on to see which OnlyFans stars have bared their receipts:<\/p>\n

Blac Chyna<\/p>\n

\"<p>Blac<\/p>\n

Blac Chyna deactivated her OnlyFans account in March 2023, explaining on The Jason Lee Show<\/a>, “I’m just changing everything about me. All that stuff is a dead end and I know that\u2026I’m worth way more than that.” Still, she added, “Shout out to the people that do still have their OnlyFans and stuff like that. Get your money, don’t let the money make you.”<\/p>\n

As for the rumor that Chyna, whose real name is Angela Ren\u00e9e White, made $240 million on the platform, she told Forbes the figure was about $238 million off.<\/p>\n

“The actual number was close to $2 million, within a two-year span,” the model, who shares son King Cairo with ex Tyga and daughter Dream with ex Rob Kardashian, told Forbes<\/a> after she left the site. “I opened it in 2020, so right when the pandemic had hit. I had opened it because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what’s about to happen?'”<\/p>\n

Bhad Bhabie<\/p>\n

\"<p>Bhad<\/p>\n

Since joining in April 2021, Bhad Bhabie had grossed $71 million and netted (after subtracting expenses, etc.) $57 million, according to an OnlyFans earning statement the rapper (born Danielle Bregoli) shared in July 2024.<\/p>\n

To quote Angela Yee, who reported on the reveal on Way Up<\/a>, “That is crazy.”<\/p>\n

Annie Knight<\/p>\n

\"<p>Annie<\/p>\n

When Annie Knight first started on OnlyFans, she made about $5,000 a month.<\/p>\n

“Then when I got fired for doing OnlyFans, I decided to do it full-time, and I was making $30,000 a month,” the Australian adult entertainer and aspiring mainstream porn star told News.com.au<\/a> in June 2025. “It was May 2023 when I started to make over $100,000 per month, and that quickly crawled up to $200,000 per month, where I have comfortably sat for the past two years.”<\/p>\n

Having sex with 583 men in six hours\u2014a feat she said she accomplished in May 2025\u2014required more exertion, but the stunt also resulted in a $400,000 boost to her monthly receipts.<\/p>\n

“Now it’s about $600,000,” Knight told E! News<\/a> a month later. And she wasn’t planning to raise her $14.99 per month subscription rate because, she said, “I like to make it accessible for everyone.”<\/p>\n

Lily Phillips<\/p>\n

\"<p>Lily<\/p>\n

Lily Phillips, who made headlines when she endeavored to have sex with 100 guys in one day, told E! News<\/a> in January 2025, post-stunt, that her earnings were “in the millions.” Not that she was doing it for the money.<\/p>\n

“For me, there’s no amount of money that would make me stop,” she said. “There’s no goal. It’s not like, ‘Oh, if I hit this figure, I’ll stop doing this.'”<\/p>\n

Farrah Abraham<\/p>\n

\"<p>Farrah<\/p>\n

Farrah Abraham, a member of the original cast of 16 and Pregnant and then Teen Mom, said she was traumatized by her 2013 foray into the porn business\u2014but OnlyFans provided a safe\u2014and apparently lucrative<\/a>\u2014space to work in adult entertainment.<\/p>\n

“It’s millions,” Abraham said of her OnlyFans revenue on a June 2025 episode of Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry’s Barely Famous podcast. “Millions of dollars a year.”<\/p>\n

Jenelle Evans<\/p>\n

\"<p>Jenelle<\/p>\n

Teen Mom 2 alum Jenelle Evans joined OnlyFans in May 2022 in a joint venture with then-husband David Eason.<\/p>\n

They broke up for good<\/a> in 2024, but Evans’ efforts weren’t for naught: In an August 2025 livestream, she purportedly showed pal Tori Rhyne the amount she’d made from OnlyFans over the years. Looking at Evans’ phone, Rhyne announced, “$1,511,578.”<\/p>\n

While Evans pushed back at her friend’s assessment that she’s a millionaire, Rhyne added, “You have to think about all the money you’ve made in the past. This is just one little thing.”<\/p>\n

Lil Tay<\/p>\n

\"<p>Lil<\/p>\n

More famous ever after being the subject of a bizarre 2023 death hoax<\/a>, rapper Lil Tay got on OnlyFans days after her 18th birthday in July 2025 and apparently made more than $1 million in three hours.<\/p>\n

“You can hate on me all you want,” she said in an Instagram video after sharing a purported screengrab<\/a> that showed earnings of $511,003.79 for subscriptions, $486,668.11 for messages and $26,736.19 in tips.<\/p>\n

“We broke the f–k out of that onlyfans record,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Bella Thorne<\/p>\n

\"<p>Bella<\/p>\n

Bella Thorne was one of the first Hollywood stars associated with OnlyFans\u2014and in August 2020 she became the first content creator on the site to make more than $1 million in one day, according to the platform.<\/p>\n

She wanted her page to be a place where she could “really just be more personal with my fans,” Thorne, who charged $20 for a monthly subscription, told the Los Angeles Times<\/a> after doubling her haul within a week. Content included “good night and good morning personal messages” sent via voice memo, as well as sexy-but-not-explicit photos.<\/p>\n

Renee Gracie<\/p>\n

\"<p>Renee<\/p>\n

Former race car driver Renee Gracie\u2014the first Australian woman to be a full-time driver on the V8 Supercar circuit\u2014pumped the brakes on that career in favor of lapping the competition on OnlyFans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was racing, I was broke”, she told Truly in May 2024<\/a>. “I gave up racing to become an OnlyFans model and in just over six months, I earned 1 million (Australian dollars) and bought my multimillion-dollar mansion. My absolute dream would be when I\u2019m 40 years old to be completely retired and done from working.”<\/p>\n

Since joining the site, “My life has done a complete 180,” she continued. “I went from not being able to afford anything and having to take loans out, literally living week by week, day by day, and now, I’m really comfortable.”<\/p>\n

Sophie Rain<\/p>\n

\"<p>Sophie<\/p>\n

After a year on the platform, cofounder of Florida-based content creator collective Bop House Sophie Rain\u2014whose content is NSFW but not as X-rated as some\u2014thanked her subscribers in December 2024 for blessing her with $43 million, including $4.3 million from one devoted fan.<\/p>\n

But that was only the beginning, according to Sophie, who said in an August 2025 conversation<\/a> with David Dobrik that, in 18 months on the site, she’d made $82 million<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one believes me,\u201d she said, “but it is very true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonnie Blue<\/p>\n

\"<p>Bonnie<\/p>\n

Bop House’s Camilla Araujo said it, Bonnie Blue didn’t.<\/p>\n

But when Blue\u2014who shared in January 2025 that she had completed the feat of having sex with a record 1,057 men in 12 hours\u2014asked Araujo how much she made on OnlyFans, Araujo’s answer was, “I make roughly the same amount as you do, like 2, 2.1 in a good month.”<\/p>\n

As in $2.1 million.<\/p>\n

“You may or may not be lyin’, but\u2026,” Blue, who’s real name is Tia Billinger, said.<\/p>\n

Araujo replied, “I mean, just the thing, I don’t have to f–k a thousand guys to make that much.”<\/p>\n

But, Blue added, “I’ve got a thousand reasons more to enjoy my job.”<\/p>\n

Bop House<\/p>\n

\"<p>Bop<\/p>\n

In a January 2025 video<\/a>, Araujo asked fellow Bop House members how much they’d made in the previous month from their smorgasbord of sexy content.<\/p>\n

Sophie Rain said $6 million and her cofounder Aishah Sofey said $2.5 million, while members Alina Rose said $1 million, Julia Filippo $600,000 and Joy Mei $100,000.<\/p>\n
