Olympic Athletes on OnlyFans
A notable trend has emerged among Olympic athletes who are maximizing their earnings through the subscription-based platform, OnlyFans. This strategy often surpasses their income from sports, catering to a diverse audience with varied content preferences.
Athlete Profiles and Earnings
Elise Christie , a decorated former Team GB speed skater, uses OnlyFans to share content that teases and surprises her audience. Christie has an impressive track record with ten golds from the European Championships and three from the World Championships.
Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman offers an intimate glimpse into her life on and off the field for a monthly fee of $10, balancing athletic insights with personal posts.
Liz Cambage , ex-member of the Sichuan Yuanda in the Women's Chinese Basketball Association, reportedly pulls in over $1.24 million annually from her OnlyFans content, a figure that substantially exceeds what she earned from basketball.
Content Variety and Accessibility
Dutch gymnast Verona van de Leur , a World Championships silver medalist, manages two OnlyFans accounts catering to different audience preferences, one with explicit content and another featuring non-nude material like pantyhose and latex.
British Olympic diver Jack Laugher maintains a non-explicit OnlyFans profile mostly showing images in swimwear, while his teammate Noah Williams uses the platform to foster a personal connection with his fans, supporting his Olympic journey.
Matty Lee , who won gold in Tokyo for the synchronized 10m platform, ensures a non-explicit focus on fan interactions for a $15 monthly subscription.
Other British divers like Daniel Goodfellow and Matthew Dixon also share light-hearted and "fun" content on their profiles, with Goodfellow engaging in non-explicit material and Dixon hinting at playful content.
Retired Australian diver Matthew Mitcham , a 2008 Olympic gold medalist, outlines a cautious OnlyFans approach with potential for some semi-nudity but no explicit material.
Implications for Athlete Financial Stability
The move of these athletes to OnlyFans underscores a shifting paradigm in how sports personalities can supplement their earnings. Through the platform, they exploit their public persona to navigate financial challenges that are not wholly addressed by their athletic salaries.
