ONLYFANS has given female sports stars an alternative platform to express themselves.
Plenty use it as an opportunity to raise their fan base and give fans an otherwise unseen glimpse into their lives.
The subscription-based service also allows influencers to show off their amazing bodies in glam photoshoots that they’re in control of.
This has helped athletes from UFC, boxing, the Olympics and more make a small fortune.
But, which female sports influencer is earning the most?
Let SunSport tell you who below.
Paige VanZant
Stunning Paige has had more reinventions than any sports stars on this list.
She’s been a UFC fighter, bare-knuckle brawler and boxed in Misfits.
But it’s on OnlyFans she is making serious coinage – thanks to a VIP service.
Paige charges $9.99 (£7.78) to subscribe to her account.
It’s not known how much she has earned, but she told Barstool Sports: “OnlyFans has definitely been my largest source of income.
“I think I made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I had in my entire fighting career. Combined.”
Ebanie Bridges
Gorgeous Ebanie was a boxer of some repute before she set up her OnyFans account in 2022.
She famously shows off her amazing figure during weigh-ins in sexy lingerie, so it was a natural fit.
Ebanie has 237,000 likes on the site, and charges $29.99 (£23.97) per month.
Alongside steamy photos, fans also get a glimpse into her training camps.
Renee Gracie
Australian racing driver Renee has claimed to have made around $6million (£4.8million) from OnlyFans.
That figure is much, much more than what she made during her brief V8 Supercars driving career.
Renee got banned from motorsport because she uploaded porn videos to the site.
However, she has absolutely no regrets.
“I love OnlyFans, the concept and how it changed my life,’ Gracie told us last year.
Alysha Newman
Alysha starred at the recent Olympics, scoring bronze in the pole vault in Paris, while twerking.
Away from the sport, she supplements her income by a reported $1million (£799,000) per year.
She charges subscribers $12.99 per month, with fans able to see some raunchy photos.
Newman told SunSport what her fans ask to see from her online.
“I always get strange requests,” she said.
“Lots of people have asked for photos of all my medals lined up – they love that stuff.”

Madelene Wright
Madelene was able to turn disappointment in 2021 to success thanks to OnlyFans.
The women’s footballer was sacked by Charlton after she was caught inhaling nitrous oxide at a party and drinking behind the wheel of her car.
However, she put her notoriety to good use and set up an account – and thousands now pay $29.99 (£23.97) per month.
It is believed she earns around $659,000 (£526,000) per year, which she revealed to us gives her an amazing lifestyle.
She told SunSport: “I was able to get my own place, I’ve been able to travel the world and I’ve enjoyed a lot of luxuries.”
Liz Cambage
Liz stepped away from the WNBA in 2022 and now plays basketball in China.
She famously revealed a coach can earn four times as much as a women’s player, so it encouraged her to find a new revenue stream.
She launched herself on OnlyFans, charging fans $12.99 (£7.78) for privilege.
It has been claimed that she is pocketing $1.6million (£1.3million) per year.
“I was so scared to actually do it,’ she recently said.
“But I had my friends and family push me and say don’t worry what anyone says – people are either going to love you or hate you regardless.”
Lisa Buckwitz
German bobsleigh star Lisa signed a sponsorship with OnlyFans last October.
Before that, she showed off her incredible curves in the German edition of Playboy magazine.
The Olympic gold medallist has vowed not to pose nude on the platform, though.
“Fans get exclusive access to content that I don’t normally share – the daily grind, the dynamics within the team, and the personal milestones that often go unseen,” Buckwitz told BILD.
“I will post as often as I can and share everything – from fitness and nutrition tips to competition preparation to the rituals that help me focus on competition day.”
Pearl Gonzalez
Gonzalez didn’t quite hit the heights expected of her in the UFC.
She lost both her fights to Cynthia Calvillo and Poliana Botelho, so it’s lucky she’s making a packet from OnlyFans.
It is believed she earns around $648,000 (£517,000) per year – sharing content that has earned over 180,000 likes.
Her tagline on her page reads: “Welcome to my paradise, slide in my DM’s to see what it’s like”.
Gonzalez has now turned to bare-knuckle fighting and boxing, so also shows off her training camps on OnlyFans too.
