Hollywood stars who turned to OnlyFans – their huge X-rated earnings revealed

The My Name Is Earl star announced in May 2026 that she was launching her own OnlyFans page to connect on a deeper level with her fans, after seeing the success her friend Shannon Elizabeth had on the platform.

“I’ve always believed in evolving with the times," she told Variety in a statement. 

“This is another way for me to connect directly with my audience, on my own terms, with creativity and intention. I’ve loved meeting fans at various Comic Cons, and the excitement of having those real face-to-face moments made me want to seek options like OnlyFans.”

While it is unclear how much the blonde beauty has made from her page since its launch, if her earnings are anything like Shannon's, she is set for life.

Shannon rose to fame in the '90s and '00s thanks to roles in American Pie, Scary Movie and Love Actually. In April 2026, just days after splitting from her husband, Simon Borchert, the 52-year-old decided to launch her OnlyFans page and take back the reins of her career.

"I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans," she told People.

"I'm choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future." 

Shannon made a whopping £886,000 in her first week on the platform, making her an incredibly popular creator.

The former Bond girl and Wild Things star joined OnlyFans in 2022, just a week after her daughter, Sami Sheen, created her own page on the platform. "My daughter got a lot of backlash for opening the account," she told KTLA.

"I had heard of OnlyFans, but I wasn't educated on what OnlyFans was, and once I started to learn about it, I really think that the creators of the site really took the best of every platform of social media and put it into one site. You own your content. The other sites, they can sell your content."

She added: "We all post pictures with ourselves with bathing suits on Instagram, and some of the other sites that there's no difference other than you actually own the content."

According to court documents obtained by TMZ amid Denise's divorce proceedings with Aaron Phypers, the 55-year-old makes around £185,000 a month from a combination of OnlyFans, TV work, and brand deals.  

Carmen splashed into our lives in the '90s thanks to her starring role on Baywatch, and cemented herself as a sex symbol over the years. Joining OnlyFans allowed the blonde beauty to take back her autonomy and capitalise on her sex symbol status after decades of being in the spotlight.

“I, for once, have this opportunity to be my own boss and have my own creative vision to share with my fans without someone standing over me, telling me, ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that. Cover up this,'" she told Fox News Digital.

"It's intense and very empowering. It's so self-empowering. And creatively, I've always had so many fun and creative ideas, and there's been times when I've been able to follow through with those with different projects I'm working on."

When Carmen joined the platform in 2022 in celebration of her 50th birthday, she immediately started earning the big bucks and is reportedly now in the top 0.1 per cent of earners.

The Teen Wolf alum decided to launch his OnlyFans page in 2020 upon the advice of his close friend and former girlfriend, Bella Thorne. 

"It’s being really in contact with my fans, releasing creative new content that people don’t see anywhere else, and being really open about anything, whether it’s sexuality or drug abuse or anything. That’s where I really found my footing," he told Variety of his time on the platform.

Tyler then deactivated his account a year later, sharing that his experience on OnlyFans was "mentally draining" and made him feel "like an object", as he told E! News.

Despite the drawbacks of Tyler's experience, the platform did help him come out publicly as sexually fluid. "It did some really good things for me in terms of being open," he said. 

"I did set some groundwork for other people to be inspired. I'm always down to inspire people. That's what I feel my purpose is in this life. So, if I could do it in any capacity, then I'm happy."

Tyler's ex-girlfriend caused a scene in 2020 when she launched her OnlyFans page and promptly crashed the website, but not before making £738,500 in 24 hours. 

The former Disney star reportedly went on to make £1.5 million in the first week, and sparked controversy when she charged £147 for photos that fans believed would be of her in her birthday suit, when in reality she was covered up.

Bella later clarified that there would be no nudity on her site, and OnlyFans changed their rules around tipping and weekly payouts in a move that affected the sex workers who relied on the platform for income.

While she initially claimed to have joined the platform to research a role, Bella later shared with Paper that OnlyFans gave her a space to "fully control my image; without censorship, without judgment, and without being bullied online for being me." 

She also shared that her earnings would go into the film projects she was looking to produce.

The Sopranos actress' career suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic when she became a prominent voice in the anti-vax space, and after facing foreclosure on her house, OnlyFans provided a lifeline for Drea.  

"OnlyFans saved my life, 100 per cent," she told the Daily Mail. 

"I can't believe I'm saying that, but it really did save us. Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids. It saved my home of many years, that was very important to us."

The 54-year-old launched her page in 2023 and made a whopping £55,400 in just five minutes, instantly wiping her debt.
