From Cardi B to Amanda Bynes, we've rounded up nine of the most famous figures who have been on OnlyFans.

OnlyFans has been a topic of conversation since it launched in 2016. The website and now app allow users to create content from videos to livestreams that followers must pay to view. And while the platform can be used to promote exclusive content from anyone, no matter the subject matter, it is most commonly used for explicit subject matter. In fact, statistics show that 98% of the content on OnlyFans is X-rated. This has not stopped celebrities from joining the platform, if they are not afraid to bare it all in exchange for what can be a hefty sum of money.
How much exactly can one make on OnlyFans? The average poster on the platform makes around $150 to $180 a month, but top performers on the app can take home up to six figures in the same period. This usually takes a lot of time and effort to build a large following, but for those with recognizable names, the probability of making a lot of money may come instantly.
Take <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/cardi-b-stefon-diggs-officially-dating-knicks-celtics-game-courtside-date" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cardi B</a>, for example, the world-famous artist was rumored to have made a whopping average of $9.3 million per month. This comes to around speculative $112 million in one year from OnlyFans alone, which is unreal considering she already makes millions from her music career. OnlyFans work is stigmatized for being under the umbrella of sex work, which has long received shame, especially in the United States.
Since the platform took off, there have been countless stories shaming creators (often women) who are professionals, parents, spouses, and more who use OnlyFans to make money. Ultimately, this has sparked discussions about the seemingly unlivable state of the economy and the lengths people will go to support themselves. But alternatively, culture has had to accept that this type of work shouldn't be looked down upon if the person doing it is happy.&nbsp;
There are a surprising number of public figures who have turned to the app for their own reasons. Keep scrolling to read about our roundup of the nine biggest celebrities who have been active on OnlyFans at one point in time or another.

She reportedly used her OnlyFans to communicate with fans with live Q&amp;A sessions, personal updates, and behind-the-scenes content from the making of the "WAP" music video. Clearly, throngs of fans were eager to gain access to her exclusive content, as the rapper made an impressive average of $9.3 million per month from OnlyFans. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper has been making headlines for her <a href="OnlyFans%20has%20been%20a%20topic%20of%20conversation%20since%20it%20launched%20in%202016.%20The%20website%20and%20now%20app%20allow%20users%20to%20create%20content%20from%20videos%20to%20livestreams%20that%20followers%20must%20pay%20to%20view.%20And%20while%20the%20platform%20can%20be%20used%20to%20promote%20exclusive%20content%20from%20anyone,%20no%20matter%20the%20subject%20matter,%20it%20is%20most%20commonly%20used%20for%20explicit%20subject%20matter.%20In%20fact,%20statistics%20show%20that%2098%%20of%20the%20content%20on%20OnlyFans%20is%20X-rated.%20This%20has%20not%20stopped%20celebrities%20from%20joining%20the%20platform,%20if%20they%20are%20not%20afraid%20to%20bare%20it%20all%20in%20exchange%20for%20what%20can%20be%20a%20hefty%20sum%20of%20money.%20%20How%20much%20exactly%20can%20one%20make%20on%20OnlyFans?%20The%20average%20poster%20on%20the%20platform%20makes%20around%20$150%20to%20$180%20a%20month,%20but%20top%20performers%20on%20the%20app%20can%20take%20home%20up%20to%20six%20figures%20in%20the%20same%20period.%20This%20usually%20takes%20a%20lot%20of%20time%20and%20effort%20to%20build%20a%20large%20following,%20but%20for%20those%20with%20recognizable%20names,%20the%20probability%20of%20making%20a%20lot%20of%20money%20may%20come%20instantly.%20%20Take%20Cardi%20B,%20for%20example,%20the%20world-famous%20artist%20made%20a%20whopping%20average%20of%20$9.3%20million%20per%20month.%20This%20comes%20to%20around%20$112%20million%20in%20one%20year%20from%20OnlyFans%20alone,%20which%20is%20unreal%20considering%20she%20already%20makes%20millions%20from%20her%20music%20career.%20OnlyFans%20work%20is%20stigmatized%20for%20being%20under%20the%20umbrella%20of%20sex%20work,%20which%20has%20long%20received%20shame,%20especially%20in%20the%20United%20States.%20%20Since%20the%20platform%20took%20off,%20there%20have%20been%20countless%20stories%20shaming%20creators%20(often%20women)%20who%20are%20professionals,%20parents,%20spouses,%20and%20more%20who%20use%20OnlyFans%20to%20make%20money.%20Ultimately,%20this%20has%20sparked%20discussions%20about%20the%20seemingly%20unlivable%20state%20of%20the%20economy%20and%20the%20lengths%20people%20will%20go%20to%20support%20themselves.%20But%20alternatively,%20culture%20has%20had%20to%20accept%20that%20this%20type%20of%20work%20shouldn't%20be%20looked%20down%20upon%20if%20the%20person%20doing%20it%20is%20happy.&nbsp;%20%20There%20are%20a%20surprising%20number%20of%20public%20figures%20who%20have%20turned%20to%20the%20app%20for%20their%20own%20reasons.%20Keep%20scrolling%20to%20read%20about%20our%20roundup%20of%20the%20eight%20biggest%20celebrities%20who%20have%20been%20active%20on%20OnlyFans%20at%20one%20point%20in%20time%20or%20another." target="_blank" rel="noopener">tumultuous relationship</a> with fellow rapper, Offset, leaving many wondering about who has been the bigger cheater.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/amanda-bynes-now-through-the-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amanda Bynes</a>, who has publicly fallen from the grace of her child star days for years, launched an OnlyFans account this past April. The 39-year-old made a disclaimer that she was only using the platform to connect and message with fans, and not for any "sleazy content." She charges a rate of $50 per month to join her OnlyFans.&nbsp;

Denise Richards joined OnlyFans in June 2022 and reportedly has made up to $2 million per month on the platform. She doesn't use her account to post "risqu&eacute;" content, but she took some heat for letting her daughter, Sami Sheen, whom she shares with actor Charlie Sheen, make an account. Sami called herself a "sex worker" on TikTok when referring to her OnlyFans, which sparked not only controversy, but somewhat of a feud between Richards and Sheen on how they've raised their daughter.&nbsp;

Lily Allen joined OnlyFans after being complimented on her feet during a 2024 pedicure. She uses her platform to sell photos of her feet to subscribers who pay $10 a month. After receiving some flak for her decision, the singer opened up that she makes more on OnlyFans than she does through Spotify streams. The "Smile" singer responded to the hate online, writing, "Imagine being an artist and having nearly 8 million monthly listeners on Spotify but earning more money from having 1,000 people subscribe to pictures of your feet. Don&rsquo;t hate the player, hate the game." And for that, we have to say, more power to Allen and her OnlyFans.

Bella Thorne made an OnlyFans account in 2020, and reportedly made $1 million the day she did so. She posted some suggestive content on her account, but nothing explicitly X-rated. But the Blended&nbsp;actress was on the app for nonfinancial reasons, as she reported that she was researching how the platform works for a film directed by Sean Baker. The Anora&nbsp;director has made multiple films covering the topic of sex work, and was reportedly collaborating with Thorne to learn about all the ins and outs of OnlyFans. But Baker went on to deny any claims of working with the actor on a project about the platform. Thus, we are left wondering what her reasoning was behind joining.&nbsp;

Lily Allen isn't the only public figure who has used OnlyFans to sell feet pictures. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/rick-owens-fall-winter-2025-mens-runway-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rick Owens</a> announced his OnlyFans account at the launch party for his Paris exhibition "Temple of Love" earlier this summer. The account, which fans can subscribe to for $5 a month, is dedicated to the designer's feet pics. Though there is a philanthropic nature to his account, as all of his OnlyFans money is going to the Allanah Foundation, which provides funding to young artists from marginalized groups.

Iggy Azalea began her OnlyFans account in early 2023 as part of her "Hotter than Hell" project that was rumored to be in anticipation of a new album. While she retired from music, she found extreme success on OnlyFans, as she rose to become one of the highest-paid creators on the platform. In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGlHI--9kV0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC</a>, she revealed that in less than a year on OnlyFans, she made a "life-changing" amount of money, but she did not specify exactly how much. In the same interview, she shared that she was also dealing with horrible health issues surrounding a chronically non-healing wound on her leg. Though she said she "turns lemons into lemonade," and has used her OnlyFans money to help jumpstart her next chapter as an entrepreneur.&nbsp;

Austin Mahone joined OnlyFans in 2020, as a move he said was surrounding being ready to "mix it up and be more open with my fans." Initially, the account wasn't intended to be explicit, but as time has gone on, it has been reported that the 29-year-old singer has gotten a bit more racy.

Blac Chyna launched her OnlyFans in 2020 and revealed that she made $2 million from the platform. Though after two years on the app, the 37-year-old public figure deactivated her account, for reasons relating to a personal rebranding and her children growing up. She has two children, King, whom she shares with the rapper Tyga, and Dream, whom she famously shares with the only son in the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/every-kardashian-family-business-khy-bikinis-skims-facial-shapewear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kardashian</a> crew, Rob.&nbsp;&nbsp;
