In an astonishing financial comparison, creators on OnlyFans, a platform known primarily for adult content, reportedly out-earned NBA players by a staggering $1.7 billion in 2023. [1] According to a report by Basketball Forever and data from Unilad, OnlyFans creators collectively earned $6.6 billion, while NBA players, including stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, took home a combined $4.9 billion for the 2023-2024 season.
. . . OnlyFans has evolved from a niche content-sharing platform to a financial juggernaut . . . The platform currently boasts over 2 million content creators, far surpassing the roughly 500 athletes who compete in the NBA.
. . . Notable stars like former Disney actress Bella Thorne have contributed to the platform’s rise. Thorne reportedly earns $11 million per month, far outpacing even NBA megastars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. This shift reflects a broader trend in which online influencers and digital content creators are capitalizing on new revenue streams at unprecedented levels.
Even lesser-known figures on OnlyFans are enjoying remarkable success. Bonnie Blue, for example, earned $250,000 in just 21 days during a Spring Break challenge, while Bryce Adams transformed her 10-acre property into a content empire. Adams told The Washington Post, “People don’t understand the scale of the opportunity. You can make your own world.”
Corinna Kopf, another prominent OnlyFans creator, revealed in a recent livestream that she has earned an eye-watering $67 million over the last three years, averaging about $2 million per month
People have taken to Twitter to react to the announcement. [2]
One person hilariously wrote: "Doesn't surprise me. I'd rather watch p**n than basketball."
While another said: "2.1 million content creators on only fans. 600 players in the NBA if you count them carrying 20 players (off-season only) instead of 18."
OnlyFans reportedly saw a whopping 28% rise in subscribers last year, with 305 million total fans logging into the website.
