Baywatch star Erika Eleniak is said to be making an eye-watering five-figure income from her recently launched account on OnlyFans.
The screen siren from the 1990s joined the platform early this month at the age of 56 and has already gained more than 1,100 subscribers, sources close to her say.
According to the insiders, the former Playboy model rakes in around $10,000 every week from the site and is expected to make $40,000 by the end of the month, via TMZ.
Eleniak won the hearts of fans with her portrayal of the warm-hearted lifeguard Shauni McClain in the first three seasons of Baywatch from 1989 to 1992.
Her series overlaps with those of some of the show’s top names, including Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.
When she first started her OnlyFans page, she limited herself to posting photos of her feet, but she recently teased on Instagram that her content would become “riskier.”
The Daily Mail has contacted Eleniak’s representatives for comment.

Eleniak won the hearts of fans with her portrayal of the warm-hearted lifeguard Shauni McClain in the first three seasons of Baywatch, from 1989 to 1992.
Early in her career on the adult entertainment platform, she told the Daily Mail that she was “genuinely excited” about her new venture.
“I’ve had people supporting me and following my career for over four decades, and OnlyFans gives me this incredible modern way to communicate directly with them,” the Los Angeles native explains.
‘When I started my career, there was no internet, no social media, no Instagram, no YouTube,” Eleniak noted. ‘When someone wanted to reach me, he looked for an address in the back of a teen magazine, wrote a letter, put it in the mail and hoped I would eventually read it!’
The Girl in the Cadillac actress mused, “In a funny way, I think of OnlyFans as the modern version of fan mail, only now it’s direct and personal.”
Eleniak approached the site with “an open mind,” she said, adding, “I want to have fun with it, reconnect with people who have followed me for years and hopefully meet a whole new generation of fans as well.”
She said: ‘I’m 56, I’m embracing exactly who I am now, and I think there’s something very liberating about starting a completely new chapter at this point in my life.’
At that stage, she was charging $9.99 per month for a subscription to her page on OnlyFans, which takes a 20 percent cut from content creators.
Her other professional endeavors include what she described as “a very small cameo” on the upcoming Fox reboot of Baywatch, set to premiere in January 2027.

At the start of her run on the adult entertainment platform, she told the Daily Mail that she was “genuinely excited about” her new venture
When she first started her OnlyFans page, she limited herself to posting photos of her feet, but she recently teased on Instagram that her content would become “riskier.”
“Shauni traded the lifeguard tower for a seat on the Santa Monica City Council,” Eleniak teased on Instagram for the benefit of her more than 170,000 followers.
She made her OnlyFans debut shortly after Knots Landing icon Donna Mills announced she was joining the site at the age of 85.
Mills announced the news in late July, explaining that she “always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I have received from my fans over the years” and was now “excited” to cultivate “a more personal and direct connection” with them.
Her page will offer “moments from my daily life” and “a look behind the scenes” as she engages with her audience “in a more meaningful way,” she said. Variety.
However, she did not provide any concrete details on exactly how raunchy the content she offers on the adult entertainment website would be.
Mills worked with entrepreneur Andy Bachman’s talent agency Creators, Inc, which helped American Pie bombshell Shannon Elizabeth, 52, and My Name Is Earl actress Jaime Pressly, 49, onto OnlyFans earlier this year.
“Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time,” Bachman said. ‘She said to me, “YOLO – let’s do it”, and that perfectly reflects her attitude.’
