OnlyFans Statistics [+Top 10 Earners]

At Bedbible we recently decided to spend a staggering amount of time researching Onlyfans earnings.

And the data tells us, that the shocking monthly earnings reported on a ton of other sites are simply complete BS!

Even pure logic would tell you, that the reported monthly earnings can’t be true!

Why are we sure other numbers reported are fake?

Take, for example, the fact that it’s been reported that Bella Thorne is one of the highest-paid OnlyFans creators with monthly earnings of +$11 million.

Well, then explain how she only has a net worth of $12 million now.

Bella Thorne has been on OnlyFans since August 2020, and active for the past approx. 2 years which means she would “reportedly” have earned $264 Million on OnlyFans alone? Come on guys…

What most statistics of OnlyFans fail to take into account are free subscriptions and discounts.

In this analysis, we made sure to take EVERYTHING into account. You can read more about how we did in the methodology section at the bottom.

Highest Average Monthly Earnings

Of course, OnlyFans earnings vary from month to month. Additionally, just because one creator has earned a lot in total does not necessarily imply that he/she is earning the most every month.

How? Well, because OnlyFans has existed since July 2016 (8 years) and some creators have spent a lot more time on the platform.

Therefore, using the available dataset we calculated the average monthly earnings for the top 20 OnlyFans earners:

Most money made in 24 hours – Bella Thorne

When Bella Thorne joined OnlyFans she broke the record and the OnlyFans server for a short while when she made more than $1 Million during just 24 hours. This is the most money ever made in 24 hours by any OnlyFans Creator.

The record has not yet been broken, even not by top creators such as Bhad Bhabie, Cardi B, or Blac Chyna (who have falsely been reported to make more than $20 Million a month).

Average Earnings for OnlyFans Creators

No doubt about it, OnlyFans is an extremely hyped platform. And for good reasons.

Some wild numbers have been thrown out there on how much money stands to be made.

But it also means, that recently the platform has become extremely crowded with creators.

Not accounting for high earners:

The math might seem simple. 1.7 million creators and 4.5 billion made on OnlyFans equals an average of $2,647 per creator in total.

The average creator has been on the platform for 6 months meaning, that the average creator earns $220 per month.

Accounting for high earners:

However, this doesn’t account for the money-grab at the top.

The actual numbers for the average non-0.1% of creators are:

• The average OnlyFans Account earns $700 in total.
• The average OnlyFans account earns $58 per month

The top 0.1% of Accounts Make 87% of the Money

More than 1.7 million people have created an OnlyFans account.

0.1% of OnlyFans Creators earn 87% of the money generated on the platform.

More specifically 1,700 creators earn more than $3,915,000,000.

The ones who earn the most have a variety of content, it could be anything from wearing sexy bdsm lingerie sets to using different dildos.

Methodology

This extensive analysis was done over an irritation over irrational figures that have been posted on multiple sites.

The fact that over 20 different sources claim that Blac Chyna is making +$20 million on OnlyFans PER MONTH is ridiculous.

And that is backed up by someone with a lot more insight into the industry:

So, we took it upon ourselves to take a deep dive into every possible way of accumulating data about how much creators on OnlyFans are earning each month, and how much wealth they have accumulated in total.

The list of sources is enormous, and some data-gathering tactics are proprietary. But this provides some insights into how we did.

First, we looked at all publicly available data: Public statements in articles, videos, podcasts, at conferences and TV shows; Other analyses; Official documents such as publicly available tax documents, net worth listings, company statements, and personal investment filings; Lastly we took a look at other semi-publicly available data-sources that we can’t reveal.

Next, we built and made use of online scraping and analysis of subscriber count, like count and account age to estimate a precise earnings level for each account: We used algorithmic online scrapers to crawl through and collect data on all publicly available OnlyFans creator accounts and then used statistical analysis to find out how much money each account made.

In more detail, we went through 3 steps:

1. Scraping and collecting data – We used a Chrome plugin to get leaf URLs from the root OnlyFans site. Then we ran a Sikuli script using a VPN randomizer, so the site wouldn’t block our real IP addresses. OnlyFans.com uses a Javascript waiting/loading page which takes a randomised amount of time to load before you can see an account. This is probably to prevent people like us from finding the real numbers. Otherwise, why randomize it? Fortunately, it was pretty easy to circumvent, as we could just defer execution of the javascript with a small frontloaded script. This loaded each account much faster and allowed us to crawl 3/4 of all OnlyFan accounts. We manually saved the full HTML file, which was then used in the processing of the dataset.
2. Processing data and cleaning – After this, we had just over 1 million account data sets available (1,132,616). To minimize computer capacity in the analysis phase we scraped all irrelevant html from all pages. We only kept the number of likes, number of images, number of subscribers (when available, this is an important step later), and monthly subscription fee.
3. Model creation and analysis – After this, we used the dataset to create a model that could estimate the revenue of creators on OnlyFans. We did this by using precise income data from a selection of accounts we gathered information on – around 50 accounts at varying income levels. This information was used to create the most precise statistical model in R (python language statistical program), which based on the available information could predict the income level. Going back through the first step of looking at publicly available earning statements we compared it to our model’s predictions and adjusted it accordingly.
