OnlyFans Says 5,076 Creators Have Earned More Than $1 Million
OnlyFans reports that 5,076 creators have passed $1 million in earnings since 2016, and that it has paid out more than $30 billion to creators.
OnlyFans said in late August 2026 that 5,076 creators on the platform have each earned more than $1 million since it launched in 2016. The figures are OnlyFans’s own, as reported by Variety, and have not been independently verified.
What was reported
- 5,076 creators have earned more than $1 million on the platform to date.
- OnlyFans has paid out more than $30 billion to creators over the last 10 years.
- Variety reported that the platform takes a 20 percent cut of gross revenue.
What the figure does and does not measure
Analysis: A count of creators who have passed $1 million over the life of the platform measures the top end of the distribution. It does not describe typical earnings. It also does not say how long each creator took to reach the total, or what came out of it in agency fees, taxes and production costs. The millionaire count and the payout total are both cumulative, so they say little about any single year.
Announcements like this are useful context on the size of the market. They are not a forecast of what a new creator can expect. Attention Isn’t Income covers the gap between audience size and revenue.
