WHEN it comes to supporting their families, mums are pros at finding creative ways to make it work.
More and more are turning to OnlyFans – a platform where they can share X-rated content and earn a monthly subscription fee.
What side hustle for many has quickly transformed into a full-time, high-earning career for young women, men, and parents alike.
Take influencer Sophie Rain, for example.
The 20-year-old recently revealed she raked in an astonishing £34.3 million from posting solo pictures and videos in just one year – up to November 28, 2024.
With numbers like that, it’s no wonder OnlyFans has become a game-changer for so many people looking to secure their financial future.
It’s even known to draw in celebrities such as Bella Thorne and Katie Price.
Here, we take a look at the rich mums of OnlyFans and what their earnings are per month while their kids sleep upstairs.
Mum-of-one Molly Manning, 49, has opened up about her OnlyFans career, revealing how it’s transformed her finances and her ability to parent her teenage son.
Originally from Australia, Molly moved to Los Angeles to pursue her work as an adult content creator, earning an impressive $20,000 (£15,800) per month – around half a million dollars a year.
Molly, who often goes viral for her outspoken views, shared that financial struggles pushed her into the adult industry, but it’s a decision she doesn’t regret.
“Now I have more freedom and I’m able to prioritise him [my son] in a way I couldn’t before,” she said.
She also spoke about the stigma women face entering the industry, saying insecurity and fear of judgment often hold them back.
“I think it’s tremendously empowering to not have to rely on another person,” Molly explained.
Known for her liberal attitude toward nudity, she caused a stir earlier last year by revealing she’s comfortable walking around her home topless or nude – even having casual conversations with her son.
“Just because I’m naked doesn’t mean it’s sexual,” she clarified.
Jess Miller has transformed private moments with her husband Mike into a thriving career, raking in thousands through platforms like OnlyFans and Pornhub.
What started as a side hustle to help pay off their mortgage quickly took off, allowing the couple to leave their day jobs – Jess as a semi-permanent makeup artist and Mike as a personal trainer – in September 2019.
That’s when the couple decided to come clean, confessing to friends, family, and even their children, telling them: “Mum and dad take sexy pictures and post them online.”

Now, Jess and Mike carefully plan their content, take subscriber requests, and say the experience has not only boosted their finances but strengthened their relationship.
“We were struggling to spend quality time together because of work stress,” Mike explains. “This gave us a way to connect and build something together.”
Jess agrees: “As soon as he suggested it, I said yes straight away.”
Proud of their success, the couple now balances life as parents and adult content creators, crediting their teamwork and authenticity for their growing fan base.
“We don’t film if we’re in a bad mood,” Mike says. “Everything we put out there is natural, and that’s what makes it work.”
As one of the top earners on OnlyFans, Honeyy Brooks is breaking stereotypes about working mothers in the adult industry.
Speaking to Kidspot, Honeyy shared how her unique career has shaped her parenting and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
Her decision to join OnlyFans wasn’t born out of desperation but rather a drive to succeed.
“I didn’t need to get into sex work,” she explains.
I want to help struggling families and create a side hustle my kids can inherit

“I just saw it as a chance to be rewarded for how hard I worked, with the income reflecting that.”
Now earning $90,000 (£71k) a month, Honeyy is determined to pass on her entrepreneurial spirit to her kids.
“Not that I’d necessarily want to encourage them into the industry,” she says, “but I’ll absolutely encourage them to chase their dreams, whatever they may be.”
For Honeyy, it’s about showing her children that success comes in many forms and is always worth striving for.
Rebecca Goodwin, a 30-year-old single mum and OnlyFans star earning £100,000 a month, is using her success to help struggling UK families.
Announcing her “affordable housing scheme” on Twitter, Rebecca revealed plans to purchase eight properties outright and rent them at affordable rates to low-income families.
The initiative is deeply personal for Rebecca, who once lived off food stamps to feed her two daughters, now aged four and 11.
“I was living off six bags of food for over a month and couldn’t even throw my daughter a first birthday party,” she shared.
Rebecca started her OnlyFans career out of desperation but quickly found success, earning £1,600 in her first 10 days.
Now, she’s not only secured a stable future for her family – buying a £230,000 home and a £45,000 car – but is also focused on giving back.
“I’m not doing this to make money,” she said of her housing scheme.
“I want to help struggling families and create a side hustle my kids can inherit.”
Lucy Banks, 33, has turned her life around after ditching a demanding corporate banking career to become one of OnlyFans’ top earners.
The mum-of-two from Perth, Australia, now rakes in up to £60,000 a month creating adult content – allowing her to provide a better life for her children while being fully present for them.
Working around her kids’ schedules, Lucy balances parenting with fulfilling some unusual subscriber requests.
She says: “I’m lucky I can fit my job around the time they’re at school or asleep. I do OnlyFans as a job so I can work it around my kids.
Keily Blair, CEO of OnlyFans
Mum-of-two Keily stepped into the role of CEO at OnlyFans in July 2023 and has been a strong advocate for women’s “choice” when it comes to their careers, finances, and bodies.
Her leadership has seen her corporate career soar, as she continues to push for empowerment and independence for women.
While OnlyFans is often hailed as a feminist platform that allows women to take control of their own wealth and sexual agency, it’s also been criticised for hosting risky content that puts some users in vulnerable positions.
In a recent interview, Keily shared her belief in personal autonomy: “I fundamentally believe that people should be able to make choices about what they do.
“I think, as a society, and particularly women, we’ve had a lot of people telling us what we can do, with our bodies, with our jobs, with our money, with our lives. I have no interest in that.”
“I’m really lucky that I can be a parent full-time and work my job into the times that my kids are at school or when they’re asleep.”
Her monthly earnings of £20,000 to £60,000 have allowed her to send her two sons to a prestigious private school and leave her financial worries behind.
“If it ever started taking time away from my kids, I’d walk away,” Lucy says.
“But the flexibility means I can balance both successfully, and I’m so grateful for that.”
Carla Bellucci, 43, found financial success on the OnlyFans site whilst being a mum-of-four.
But despite raking in £40,000, Carla decided to eventually quit the saucy site and move on from adult content.
“I’m a believer that it’s an opportunity to do new things and I just think I had to come off there to be taken seriously,” Carla told The Daily Star.
“I don’t want to be known as a washed-up porn star. I feel now is the right time.”
We’ve had a lot of people telling us what we can do, with our bodies, with our jobs, with our money, with our lives. I have no interest in that
Keily Blair
While she’s made life-changing money through the platform, Carla has set her sights on a career in TV, with hopes of landing a spot on Big Brother.
“It changed my life. I made so much money and I don’t even know the amount but it was life-changing,” she said.
“I never thought two years ago when I joined that I would ever earn this sort of money with people just seeing me in my undies and my bikini. It was unbelievable. But the time has come.”
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
