She made that much because she's a known fighter established within the UFC. UFC pays shit but it pays shit across the board unless you are a superstar.
She's making 50k a year + payouts from her fights.
Assuming a 100k win bonus (it's actually closer to 400 if you believe random books blogs and Internet rumors) even on the low side shes already made 1M in the past 5 years or so.
Again estimating in their favor let's say 60% of that goes to get camp and taxes. 125k a year for 3 fights is more than reasonable. It's likely she is making more than that however.
She isn't very popular and would never be able to support her own card. She's also used her popularity to get on network TV, and rake in a few million by getting laid. It's not even porn shoots. It's her own terms and partners.
I'm not going to shed a tear for her. She's set for life with any form of reasonable money management and clearly has leveraged her popularity from UFC and done well for herself.
If true, how much did she make in 24h on OnlyFans. She said it's more than her entire career. I can't believe she made over 1M in 1 day on OnlyFans.
You underestimate the power of thirst
It's just 100k people paying 10 bucks each. It sounds like a lot of money but when you think about the numbers involved it gets really quite reasonable for someone in her position to do
I'm forgetting which UK news channel it was but they had a successful OF person on, tried the "what will your kids think of you" and she replied "they can cry about it in a Ferrari"
The American dream, when money matters more than morality.
There's nothing inherently immoral about sex work.
To somebody who doesn't know the industry, can you explain to me why that matters in any way?
There’s probably a subtle difference between “exploiting yourself” and getting most of the money after OF fees, vs getting paid essentially minimum wage for a shoot which then gets repeatedly repackaged and distributed for the company that makes way more money off it than you ever did. Which on one hand is essentially the same as being any other actress, but also not remotely the same considering the material, and how many women regret being convinced to take part in it because of exposure and social backlash.
Would you like to shoot porn when someone you love and trust or a random person?
For me personally it would honestly depend on if it was for work or for pleasure.
For others, I have no idea.
My understanding of the original comment I replied to with my question was concerning business/work.
So you say I will not get much money on OF?
Not without some work and a nice set of titties or dick. Or maybe the fetish route.
What type of work? I can work.
Marketing, promotion, quality content generation - which in itself is a bucket load of work.
You've got actual production work, setting up a decent lighting/camera/sound system for your content, preparing everything you need to film or run a quality live stream. Post production, editing takes longer than people think.
But pre-production, there's work to do on yourself, grooming and preparing physically, especially if you are going to be getting into anything fetish related, it adds another level of preparation (and possibly an extra level to post production clean up)
It's also not something you can always compartmentalise, I have a friend who does some generic feet stuff, she had to quit swimming and change her entire gym routine to allow herself to shower at home, because catching athletes foot meant she'd loose income. She has to choose her socks and shoes based on protecting the physical appearance of her feet. She can't just chuck on some thongs (flip flops) in summer because her clientele don't like the tan lines and are vocal about it.
PR is important, you need to have time to engage with the audience, reply to messages and maintain the illusion of the parasocial relationship, to keep your subscribers keen. It can take easily take an hour a day to do if you have large enough fan base and want to maintain it.
There's a lot to like about the "person next door" charm of a low budget, low effort approach to nudes and clips, but that's what most people on OF are already doing, so if you want real money you have to set yourself apart from that.
Crybaby squat cobbler can pay in spades.
Marketing and promotion.
