Paige VanZant reveals OnlyFans earnings surpassing entire fighting career income, highlighting changing dynamics and controversies.
UFC star Paige VanZant recently disclosed that her earnings on OnlyFans within a 24-hour period exceeded the total income from her six-year career in professional fighting. The 29-year-old, proudly dubbing herself the “queen of OnlyFans,” now charges fans $9.99 per month for access to her exclusive content. During a conversation on the “Only Stans” podcast with host Glenny Balls, VanZant shared the significant financial impact the platform has had on her life, describing it as “life-changing” compared to her earnings from MMA.
VanZant acknowledged the existing stigma surrounding OnlyFans, particularly its association with explicit content. She explained that, given her background in mixed martial arts, her fan base is predominantly male. Despite societal judgments, she expressed her indifference to potential job opportunities being affected by her OnlyFans presence, highlighting her commitment to financial independence.
The UFC star initially started her OnlyFans journey by offering “PG” content but gradually transitioned to more explicit material over time. The controversy surrounding OnlyFans is not limited to VanZant, as the platform has become a subject of debate. Advocates argue that it empowers creators, especially women, to monetize their content, while critics contend that it perpetuates a taboo or degrading nature.
Beyond the realm of sports and entertainment, the impact of OnlyFans extends to education, with instances of teachers being dismissed for engaging in explicit content creation on the platform. These educators reported earning more from OnlyFans than from their teaching salaries, underscoring the platform’s role in reshaping income streams and challenging traditional employment norms. The ongoing discussion surrounding OnlyFans reflects broader societal debates on the intersection of technology, self-expression, and economic empowerment.
