The rapid rise of OnlyFans has been a game-changer for a number of sportswomen, many of whom are now making more money through the content creation site than in their respective fields.
With users able to sell erotic or highly sexual imagery on the platform through a regular subscription, several female athletes have stumbled across a bonanza getting involved, generating huge amounts of extra money.
Creating content on OnlyFans has earned some of them millions, which means that in some cases it now takes precedence over their sports careers.
So which female sports stars are making the most money on the site?
From former UFC fighter to porn star turned racecar driver, Dailymail.com takes a look at the sportswomen who are killing OnlyFans.
Paige VanZant is one of many female athletes to make a killing thanks to OnlyFans
Paige Van Zant
Unlike others in the list, former UFC star VanZant actually has his own VIP account on the platform.
The 29-year-old, who spent six years in the UFC before being released in 2020, charges fans $9.99 a month for access to glamorous photos as well as a preview of her training.
Incredibly, last year VanZant revealed that she was making more money posting photos on her social media platforms than she ever did in the UFC.
Since leaving the organization, she has competed in two bare-knuckle sparring contests, losing both by decision.

Renee Gracie
Former racing star Gracie, 28, amassed an incredible 662,000 likes on OnlyFans and claimed to have passed the $6 million mark in earnings last year.
That figure eclipses everything the Aussie has done in her brief V8 Supercars engine career, from which she was eventually banned after uploading pornographic videos and images to the content creation site.
However, she insists quitting the sport was “the best decision” she ever made.
“I love OnlyFans, the concept and how it changed my life,” Gracie said. The sun Last year.

Erica Fontaine
American gymnast Fontaine charges $10 a month to access her OnlyFans account, where she has generated nearly 186,000 likes so far.
And not only does she post erotic content, the Miami-born athlete also interacts with fans who message her on the site.
Fontaine, who rose to fame after having affairs with NBA stars Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard, invites users to “discover my FREAKY side” on her page.

Alysha Newman
Newman, a Canadian pole vault star who represented his country at the Tokyo Olympics, earns about $1 million a year from OnlyFans, according to Brand.
Its subscription fee is higher than most on this list at $19.99, but by increasing the money, fans can get access to hot pics.
The 29-year-old said of her involvement with the site: “If not now, then when?”
“If we don’t push boundaries, break down barriers and break down expectations, we will only turn away from ourselves!”

Madeleine Wright
The England soccer player was sacked by Charlton Athletic in 2021 after she was caught inhaling nitrous oxide at a party and drinking while driving her car in a series of controversial videos.
After the scandal, Wright used her newfound fame to launch a career on OnlyFans, where she currently charges $23.10 for a 31-day subscription.
She is believed to raise around $659,000 per year through the platform, which is quite a consolation after her failed football career.
“I was able to have my own home, I was able to travel the world and enjoyed a lot of luxury,” she recently told The Sun.

Ebanie Bridges
Known as The Blonde Bomber, Bridges sparked controversy when she burst onto the boxing scene by weighing in for her lingerie fights, creating much debate in the women’s fighting game about whether her approach was unpleasant.
Nonetheless, the Aussie bantamweight eventually garnered a lot of attention in the sport, helping him achieve success on OnlyFans as well.
With 184,000 likes on the site, Bridges is able to earn extra money while plying his trade in the ring by regularly uploading hot photos for his followers.
She also offers footage and images of her training sessions to give fans a glimpse of what goes on in a boxer’s camp.

Pearl González
Gonzalez was unsuccessful in his UFC stint, losing each of his only two contests in the promotion to Cynthia Calvillo and Poliana Botelho.
Luckily for the Chicago fighter, however, she does much better on her personal OnlyFans page, where she pockets around $648,000 a year.
With 74,000 likes on the site, she’s enticing fans to shell out her subscription fee by saying, “Welcome to my paradise, insert my DMs to see what it’s like.”
Since her last MMA contest in 2020, Gonzalez has transitioned into fighting and bare knuckle boxing, with her last outing a boxing loss to Gina Mazany in April.

Liz Cambage
Olympic bronze medalist Liz Cambage earns $1.6 million a year on OnlyFans
A 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, London-born Australian basketball star Cambage currently plays in the WNBA with the Las Vegas Aces, where she has spent the past four years.
Yet with her salary in the sport falling short – Cambage previously claimed a coach could earn four times as much as the highest paid players – the 31-year-old turned her attention to OnlyFans last year.
According to TotalSportal, his $12.99 a month account earns him $1.6 million a year on the platform.
“I was so scared to do it,” she recently said. “But my friends and family pushed me and told me not to worry about what anyone says – people are either going to love you or hate you anyway.”
