As 2025 winds down, a growing number of creators are getting unusually transparent about what life on OnlyFans actually pays—and for some, the numbers are staggering.
Among the most talked-about figures is Australian creator Annie Knight, who says she cleared $2.8 million on the platform this year, with one peak month bringing in $600,000 alone.
Knight, who carefully tracks her earnings, told Us Weekly that the total didn’t shock her as much as it humbled her. “Being in this industry, my number one fear is that one day I’ll wake up and no one wants to buy my content anymore,” she said. “So whenever I have another successful month, it’s a good feeling to know that what I’m doing is still working and people still care.”
That income translated into tangible upgrades. Knight says she bought her dream home, furnished it, and treated herself to a handful of designer pieces. Looking ahead, she’s aiming even higher. “I have big things planned for 2026 and the sky’s the limit,” she said.
Knight isn’t alone. Fitness creator Kit Barrus, also known as “Kit the Beef Cake,” reported earning $838,000 in 2025, landing her in the top 0.05 percent of earners on the platform. Her biggest month—November—brought in $135,000.
Still, Barrus described the year as emotionally complicated. “If you aren’t growing, you feel like you are moments away from losing it all,” she said, adding that her goal for 2026 is $2 million.
Other creators saw different but still significant gains. Flora The Yogi earned $311,000 and called the moment she saw her total “emotional,” especially after growing up worried about bills. Lily Jade and Emily Mai each brought in around $200,000, using the money to invest, travel, and support their families.
The broader context underscores how lucrative—and transitional—the platform has become. Brazilian model Camilla Araújo recently announced she’s leaving OnlyFans after earning roughly $20 million over five years. “That platform is where I made my first million dollars,” she said. “It’s where I retired my parents. It’s where I bought my first home.”
