How Aussie models and reality stars are earning six-figure salaries on OnlyFans

A growing number of Australian reality stars and Instagram models are selling raunchy content online for big bucks.

Using the subscription based website OnlyFans, Z-listers like The Bachelorette’s Paddy Colliar and Love Island’s Vanessa Sierra charge users a monthly fee for explicit photos and videos.

Content can range from something as innocent as a suggestive selfie all the way to hardcore pornography.

Rhyce Power, who shot to fame as Jessika Power’s ‘hot brother’ on Married At First Sight last year, is currently one of the top creators on OnlyFans.

The 28-year-old recently shared his monthly earnings from the site on Instagram, revealing that he had earned over $50,000 AUD in just one month.

Australian Instagram model Jem Wolfie is currently the biggest star on OnlyFans, raking in millions of dollars since joining the site in 2018.

The Perth-based beauty can earn up to $30,000 per day by sharing exclusive photos that aren’t much different to the content on her Instagram page.

‘People complain and say “Where’s the nudity”, but where are you going to go from there — you’ll be in full-blown porn before you know it,’ the 28-year-old told Perth Now last year.

While Jem’s content is quite tame, she does upsell her subscribers racier stuff, like topless photos, if the price is right.

Former Love Island Australia star Vanessa Sierra is another creator who uses the upsell method.

For $20 a month, her subscribers can access the kind of sexy bikini photos that fill her Instagram page, but Vanessa will then send private messages to her fans offering more risque content for cash.

‘Tip for titties,’ she wrote in one message, which offered users the change to pay another $20 to unlock an extra photo.

The content on the joint page she shares with her YouTube star boyfriend Luke Erwin is far more explicit, and features the couple engaging in sex acts.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia about their controversial career move, the couple said they were simply ahead of the curve by joining OnlyFans.

‘I’m not scared to make moves and always jump on social media platforms before the crowd,’ Vanessa explained.

‘Everyone seems so shocked yet in a couple of years it will be the norm to have an OnlyFans account,’ she added.

‘The same people who made a joke of us when we were on TikTok are now the ones obsessed with the app. This will be no different.

‘We are just doing what makes us happy and creating content that isn’t restricted by Instagram guidelines. We are in the top 0.02 per cent of OnlyFans creators for a reason!’

Gina Stewart, who became an online sensation after being dubbed ‘the world’s hottest grandma’, is also one of the biggest creators on the platform.

Thanks to OnlyFans, the Gold Coast grandmother is now earning thousands of dollars a month and was able to move out of her Sunshine Coast apartment and into a lavish four-bedroom waterfront home with a pool and Jacuzzi.

‘OnlyFans is way better than Instagram because I can post whatever I want and interact with my fans on a much more intimate level,’ the 49-year-old told Daily Mail Australia last year.

‘Now I live a great lifestyle thanks to my beautiful fans who support me. I’ve been able to afford a $1.3 million home for myself and my daughter, I drive a Mercedes and I own two jet skis.’

She added: ‘I keep my content glamorous and sexy unlike other models who bare what they had for breakfast. It’s all in the tease.’ 

Paddy Colliar, who shot to fame on The Bachelorette and Bachelor In Paradise, recently turned to OnlyFans after losing his job due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Irish hunk worked as a personal trainer, but after the government restrictions caused gyms across Australia shut down, Paddy turned to OnlyFans.

Stripping off online isn’t difficult for the 28-year-old, who worked as a male stripper before appearing on reality TV.

Outside of Australia, other popular celebrities on OnlyFans include Courtney Stodden, Aaron Carter, Chad Johnson, and Trisha Paytas.
