Former child star Piper Rockelle says she earned nearly $3 million within the first 24 hours of launching her OnlyFans account on January 1, 2026, making it one of the most lucrative debuts on the platform to date.
"my first day! forever grateful," Rockelle wrote on X. "You guys are the best, thank you for changing my life."
According to a screenshot she posted, her account generated $2,927,313 in gross earnings on day one, with $1.4 million from subscriptions and $819,000 from direct messages.
Tips added another $118,000. The total net revenue came to over $2.3 million.
The 18-year-old YouTube personality, who had been teasing her OnlyFans launch with a countdown across social media, had previously shared her paid content through a Fanvue account.
Critics accused her of entering the adult industry too soon, but she pushed back on those claims.
"I waited until I was legal, and I made that decision for myself," Rockelle said in a statement to The Tab.
"This wasn’t something I was pressured into. It was about taking control of my own content, my own body, and my own income. People can judge all they want, but I did this on my own terms, and I’m proud of that. I know who I am, and I know what I’m building."
She also addressed backlash from those referencing her past as a child star.
"Of course, I saw the comments. People are saying I was groomed or that the subscribers are creeps," she said.
"Look, I get it. I was a kid on YouTube, and now I’m an adult making adult choices. That shift is uncomfortable for some people. But I’ve grown up in front of the world. I’m not asking for approval. I’m asking for people to respect that I’m not 13 anymore."
Rockelle, who first gained fame through her family-run social media content, now joins a growing list of influencers monetizing their fanbases through subscription platforms.
Her OnlyFans debut is one of the highest first-day figures publicly shared by any creator to date.
