Several Olympic athletes have turned to OnlyFans as a supplementary income source, finding it increasingly lucrative compared to their earnings from competitive sports.
Elise Christie, a former Team GB speed skater who won multiple gold medals at the World Championships, now earns around £5,000 monthly from her 700 OnlyFans subscribers. Christie retired in 2021 and, after overcoming personal challenges, has found success on the platform.
Jack Laugher, an Olympic diver with a gold medal and an MBE, has also joined OnlyFans to boost his income. Despite his achievements, including three Olympic medals, he sought additional revenue through the platform.
A range of Olympians are now active on OnlyFans, including Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman, who charges £10 per month, and Australian basketball player Liz Cambage. Cambage, a bronze medalist from the 2012 Olympics, earns approximately £1.24 million annually from her £10-a-month OnlyFans account.
Retired Dutch gymnast Verona van de Leur, who won a silver at the World Championships, and British divers like Matty Lee and Noah Williams are also on the platform. Lee, who won gold in Tokyo but is sidelined from the Paris Olympics due to injury, charges £15 per month and emphasizes that his content is safe for work. Noah Williams, a fellow diver, offers a similar promise of safe-for-work content.
Other Olympic athletes with OnlyFans accounts include Daniel Goodfellow, Matthew Dixon, and Matthew Mitcham, each providing varying types of content, from exclusive photos to interactive posts.
The trend highlights the financial challenges faced by many Olympic athletes, whose sports careers often do not provide substantial earnings. As they continue to prepare for and compete in international events, these athletes are using OnlyFans to supplement their income and connect with fans.
