These days, massive OnlyFans creators don’t make the news as frequently as they did during peak COVID, but the platform is still minting a plethora of million-dollar earners. On August 25, OnlyFans announced that 5,076 creators have brought in at least $1 million since the NSFW hub kicked off in 2016.
OnlyFans reported that its creator payouts have totaled $30 billion during its decade-long run. A significant portion of that sum is going to the biggest OnlyFans stars. Shannon Elizabeth, an actor known for her role in the 1999 comedy American Pie, recently reported that she needed just nine days to cross the $1 million mark after launching her OnlyFans earlier this year.
Elizabeth’s recent success underscores one of the most fascinating tidbits to come out of the OnlyFans data drop. Many tech companies that flourished during the pandemic have since struggled to maintain momentum, but OnlyFans is still going strong. About 20% of that $30 billion payout sum — $6.3 billion — was delivered to creators during the year that ended on November 30, 2025. OnlyFans increased its net revenue by 10% year-over-year during that period, topping out at a total of $1.55 million. Regulatory filings indicate that the platform currently has 2.5 million active creators
and 132 million active fan accounts.“OnlyFans provides real opportunities to real people by creating a safe, regulated space where people can monetize their content with a global fan base,” said OnlyFans CEO Keily Blair in a statement. “In 2026, we continue to grow our offerings to both creators and fans, demonstrating and realizing the value, success and potential of the global creator economy across all verticals and genres.”
To keep the good times rolling, OnlyFans is expanding across multiple axes. It is deepening its safe-for-work original content library, providing a refuge for edgy brands, and aiding discovery through category-specific hubs. Bolstered by those improvements, OnlyFans is officially on its way to 10,000 millionaires, and at the current rate, it won’t take another decade to reach that milestone.
