Influencer Sophie Rain’s Onlyfans billing shows 41 million

Money machine social media: Sophie Rain is a well-known model and social media influencer. She was already famous on social media before she opened an Onlyfans account a year ago. She is followed by over five million people on Instagram.

Unlike on Instagram, her fans can admire Sophie Rain on Onlyfans even without a swimsuit. You can get in for just ten dollars. Now she showed her followers on the short message platform “X” the reward of the effort. The post shows that Rain apparently earned $43.4 million in her first year. That’s the equivalent of 41 million euros. She also wrote: “Grateful for a year here.” The information cannot be independently verified.

Stories like those of Sophie Rain or Danielle Bregoli – she also claims to have exceeded the $40 million income threshold – create the illusion that Onlyfans is a real gold mine. That’s not true, the large number of profiles generates very little. On average, an account only earns 1200 euros. However, the average also includes dead files – i.e. offers that are not served at all.

Sophie Rain and Daniele Bregoli were already social media stars before they joined Onlyfans. And this is what the business model looks like: The creatives keep 80 percent of the revenue, the platform gets 20 percent. There is no basic fee. In addition to the income for the monthly subscription, there is also money for other services. Such as chats, personal greetings, pictures and the like. Nobody needs to attract hundreds of thousands of fans. You can make a very good income with just 4,000 loyal fans (also read: This is how the “Onlyfans” app makes ex-models rich). That’s why Onlyfans is now not only interesting for erotic stars, but also for athletes and models. Actors can build a fan group here that generates income even when there may not be a film role.

The company behind Onlyfans, Fenix ​​International, made sales of 1.2 billion euros in 2023 – an increase of 200 million euros compared to the previous year. Since the company hardly needs any employees, 620 million euros were generated. The profit before taxes is therefore over 50 percent. The platform’s sole shareholder, Leonid Radvinsky, received dividends of 446 million euros last year.
