The meteoric rise of OnlyFans has been a game changer for a number of sportswomen, with many now bringing in more money through the content creation site than in their respective fields.
With users able to sell erotic or highly sexual images on the platform for a regular subscription fee, several female athletes have stumbled upon a windfall by participating, generating huge amounts of money.
Creating content on OnlyFans has made millions for some of them, meaning it has now taken precedence over their sports careers in certain cases.
So which female sports stars make the most money from the site?
From an ex-UFC fighter to a racing driver turned porn star, Dailymail.com takes a look at the sportswomen who are making a killing with OnlyFans.

Paige VanZant
Unlike others in the list, former UFC star VanZant actually has her own VIP account on the platform.
The 29-year-old, who spent six years in the UFC before being released in 2020, is charging fans $9.99 a month for access to some glam photos and insight into her training.
Incredibly, last year VanZant revealed that she makes more money posting photos on her social media platforms than she ever did in the UFC.
Since leaving the organization, she has competed in two bareknuckle fighting matches, losing both via decision.

Renee Grace
Former racing star Gracie, 28, has amassed a whopping 662,000 likes on OnlyFans and claimed to have crossed the $6 million mark last year.
That figure dwarfs anything the Australian made in her brief V8 Supercars motorcycle career, which she was eventually banned from after uploading pornographic videos and images to the content creation site.
However, she insists that leaving the sport was “the best decision” she ever made.
“I love OnlyFans, the concept and how it has changed my life,” Gracie shared The sun last year.

Eric Fontaine
American gymnast Fontaine charges $10 a month to access her OnlyFans account, where she has generated nearly 186,000 likes to date.
And not only does she post erotic content, the Miami-born athlete also interacts with fans who send her messages on the site.
Fontaine, who rose to fame after allegedly having affairs with NBA stars Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard, invites users to “get to know the FREAKY side of me” on her page.

Alysha Newman
Newman, a Canadian pole vaulter who represented her country at the Tokyo Olympics, takes home an estimated $1 million a year, according to OnlyFans. Marka.
Her subscription fee is higher than most on this list at $19.99, but by earning money, fans can access some raunchy photos.
The 29-year-old said of her involvement with the site: ‘If not now, then when?
“If we don’t push boundaries, break down barriers and expectations, we will do nothing but turn away from our true selves!”

Madelene Wright
The English footballer was sacked by Charlton Athletic in 2021 after she was caught inhaling nitrous oxide at a party and drinking behind the wheel of her car in a series of controversial videos.
After the scandal, Wright used her newfound fame to launch a career on OnlyFans, where she currently charges $23.10 for a 31-day subscription.
It is believed that she raises around $659,000 a year through the platform, which was quite a comfort after her soccer career hit the rocks.
“I’ve been able to get my own place, I’ve been able to travel the world and enjoy a lot of luxuries,” she recently told The Sun.

Eban Bridges
Known as The Blonde Bomber, Bridges sparked controversy when she stormed onto the boxing scene by weighing in in lingerie before her fights, sparking much debate in the women’s fighting game over whether her approach was distasteful.
Nevertheless, the Australian bantamweight ended up getting a lot of attention in the sport, also achieving success on OnlyFans.
With 184,000 likes on the site, Bridges is able to earn some extra money while plying her trade in the ring by regularly uploading steamy photos for her subscribers.
She also provides footage and images from her training sessions to give fans a glimpse of what goes on at a boxing camp.

Pearl Gonzalez
Gonzalez failed to make a success of her time in the UFC, losing each of her only two bouts in the promotion against Cynthia Calvillo and Poliana Botelho.
Fortunately for the Chicago fighter, however, things are much better with her personal OnlyFans page, where she rakes in an estimated $648,000 a year.
With 74,000 likes on the site, she’s teasing fans into paying her subscription fee by saying, “welcome to my paradise, slide into my DMs to see what it’s like.”
Since her last MMA match in 2020, Gonzalez has transitioned to bareknuckle fighting and boxing, with her last appearance coming in a boxing defeat to Gina Mazany in April.

Liz Cambage
Olympic bronze medalist Liz Cambage earns an eye-popping $1.6 million a year on OnlyFans
London-born basketball star Cambage, who won Olympic bronze in 2012, currently plays in the WNBA with the Las Vegas Aces, where she has spent the past four years.
But with her salary falling short in the sport — Cambage previously claimed a coach can earn four times more than the highest-paid players — the 31-year-old turned her attention to OnlyFans last year.
According to TotalSportal, her $12.99 per month account brings in an eye-watering $1.6 million per year for her on the platform.
“I was so scared to actually do it,” she recently said. “But I let my friends and family push me and say, don’t worry about what anyone says — people will either love you or hate you.”
