According to streaming data site Kworb, Allen’s music receives around 851,623 plays per day on Spotifythat is, around 25,548,690 views per month. A royalty calculator powered by Billboard estimates that the “F— You” singer’s music generates around $122,321 per month.
However, that money is then divided among songwriters, producers, record labels and other collaborators, in addition to Allen herself.
On the other hand, her OnlyFans page costs $10 a month. With around 1,000 subscribers, as she herself stated, the account probably generates about $100,000 a monthwhich go directly into Allen’s hands.
Lily Allen and her OnlyFans account
Allen has been extremely open with her exploration of OnlyFans as a source of income, while also opening up about the power dynamics the platform offers and how it makes her feel.
The launch of her page came a few weeks after she discussed the possibility of selling feet content during an episode of her BBC podcast Miss Me? with co-host Miquita Oliver.
“I have a lady who comes and does my nails,” the “Smile” singer shared at the time. “I was informed that I have five stars on WikiFeet, which is quite rare. My feet are rated pretty high on the internet”.
“She said she could make a lot of money selling feet content on OnlyFans. And I was like, ‘No, no.'”
During a later July 4 episode of the Miss Me? podcast, Allen mentioned her husband David Harbor’s reaction to her selling photos of her feet online.
“Yeah, it is, he thinks it’s cool,” Allen said after Oliver asked if Harbor was “okay” with the decision. “At first, I wasn’t excited, but he said, ‘Is this perverted to you?’ And I said, ‘No, it’s not a perversion at all,’ but maybe there’s something about the power element that’s a little perverted to me.”
During that same podcast episode, Allen insisted that his page only shows one thing: photos of his feet. “I have very strict guidelines. And believe me, these guys DM me telling me they want custom content and asking me for all kinds of crazy things and I really enjoy just saying: just feet, just feet.”
