She's making 50k a year + payouts from her fights.

Assuming a 100k win bonus (it's actually closer to 400 if you believe random books blogs and Internet rumors) even on the low side shes already made 1M in the past 5 years or so.

Again estimating in their favor let's say 60% of that goes to get camp and taxes. 125k a year for 3 fights is more than reasonable. It's likely she is making more than that however.

She isn't very popular and would never be able to support her own card. She's also used her popularity to get on network TV, and rake in a few million by getting laid. It's not even porn shoots. It's her own terms and partners.

I'm not going to shed a tear for her. She's set for life with any form of reasonable money management and clearly has leveraged her popularity from UFC and done well for herself.

If true, how much did she make in 24h on OnlyFans. She said it's more than her entire career. I can't believe she made over 1M in 1 day on OnlyFans.

You underestimate the power of thirst

It's just 100k people paying 10 bucks each. It sounds like a lot of money but when you think about the numbers involved it gets really quite reasonable for someone in her position to do

I'm forgetting which UK news channel it was but they had a successful OF person on, tried the "what will your kids think of you" and she replied "they can cry about it in a Ferrari"

It’s not even porn shoots. It’s her own terms and partners.

To somebody who doesn't know the industry, can you explain to me why that matters in any way?

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago

There’s probably a subtle difference between “exploiting yourself” and getting most of the money after OF fees, vs getting paid essentially minimum wage for a shoot which then gets repeatedly repackaged and distributed for the company that makes way more money off it than you ever did. Which on one hand is essentially the same as being any other actress, but also not remotely the same considering the material, and how many women regret being convinced to take part in it because of exposure and social backlash.

Would you like to shoot porn when someone you love and trust or a random person?

Would you like to shoot porn when someone you love and trust or a random person?

For me personally it would honestly depend on if it was for work or for pleasure.

For others, I have no idea.

My understanding of the original comment I replied to with my question was concerning business/work.
