Search for the top OnlyFans earners and you’ll find dozens of lists.
Most of them disagree with each other. Many quote monthly figures to the dollar for creators who have never shared a number.
That’s because OnlyFans doesn’t publish what any individual creator earns. Unless a creator shows or says a figure themselves, the number is a guess.
What OnlyFans actually reports
The platform does publish its own accounts. For the 2025 financial year, OnlyFans reported $1.6 billion in revenue and $715 million in pre-tax profit, according to figures reported by the Financial Times in August 2026.
It said it had 4.6 million creators and 377.5 million fan accounts, and that it has paid creators more than $30 billion since it launched in 2016.
Those are the only hard numbers in the business. Everything below them depends on what creators choose to share.
The figures creators have shown
A handful of creators have put real numbers on the record, usually with dashboard screenshots or in interviews.
Sophie Rain said in January 2026 that she had made $101.2 million gross on the platform, as reported by Complex.
Bhad Bhabie shared figures in July 2024 showing $71 million gross, or about $57 million after the platform’s cut.
Amouranth said in January 2024 that she had made $57 million gross.
Camilla Araujo said in November 2025 that she had earned $14.45 million.
Piper Rockelle said in January 2026 that she made $2.9 million in her first 24 hours on the site.
Even these need reading carefully. They cover different time periods, and some are before the platform’s fee while others are after it.
How to read any earnings claim
Gross or net? OnlyFans keeps 20 per cent. A $10 million gross figure is about $8 million to the creator, before tax and any agency fees.
Lifetime or annual? A career total built up over four years is not the same as a yearly income, but lists often present it that way.
Shown or said? A dashboard screenshot is stronger evidence than a figure mentioned in a podcast. A number with no source at all is weaker than either.
Who’s quoting it? Many list sites earn money by sending readers to creator pages. A big number gets clicks.
Why it matters
Inflated lists set false expectations for new creators. Most accounts earn a small fraction of the figures above.
They also cause problems for the creators named. Made-up earnings get repeated as fact, and that can follow someone into tax questions, family conversations and future press coverage.
