Shannon Elizabeth has revealed how she will be spending her incredible profits from OnlyFans.
After realising the earning potential that her status as a former sex symbol provides, she made her debut on the adult platform last month - and got off to a flying start.
"I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career," the activist and poker player said. "This new chapter is about changing that."
Elizabeth, 52, earned more than seven figures in her first seven days as a content creator, so she now intends to 'treat herself' to a big purchase.

The screen star describes herself as an 'actress and storyteller' who is 'a little mischievous' on her OnlyFans, which has already acquired a loyal army of subscribers.
Punters can pay to see 'behind-the-scenes moments, exclusive photos and videos', as well as candid glimpses of her life'. Admirers can also shell out some money to chat with her directly, too.
The American Pie actress explained she signed up to the risqué website to 'show off a more sexy side that no one has seen', although she's still working out her 'limits'.
She launched her saucy side hustle on 16 April, just days after filing for divorce from her husband Simon Borchert.
Elizabeth subsequently revealed that she had split from the conservation specialist in September last year and described their breakup as a 'thoughtful, ongoing process'.
"[It's] not something that happened in the past few days," she told Us Weekly a few weeks ago. "The meaningful pieces are already behind me, and only the formalities remain."
"This is a new chapter for me, and it’s one I’m genuinely excited about. I feel stronger, clearer and happier than I have in a very long time."
The Scary Movie actress has now shared some further details about her current circumstances following on from her split with Borchert, including how she has 'been staying with friends' since they called it quits.
Elizabeth, who moved to South Africa in 2016, is now looking for her own place - and she can afford quite a plush pad, given she raked in more than $1million in the space of just a week via OnlyFans.
Discussing her house hunt and how her OnlyFans earnings will come in handy, she told Page Six: "I haven’t figured out where I’m going to live and if I’m going to buy, if I’m going to rent, what can I do?"
The Texas-born star said that she will continue to live in South Africa as she still has a 'lot of work to do' with her organisation, the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which is dedicated to protecting wildlife.
"And I love it here," Elizabeth continued. "I have such a great friend group here. So my first thing is figuring out where I’m going to stay and get my own place again.
"Everything’s been in storage since, like, September, so I need all my stuff out of storage."
She admitted that in the first six months since separating from Borchert, she had a 'really, really, really difficult' time.
"It was very emotional, and it was just figuring out how to restart everything and kind of just starting from scratch, to be honest," Elizabeth added. "So it was, ‘Well, now what?'"
Launching her OnlyFans marked the moment that she 'moved onto her next chapter', while she described finally filing for divorce as being a 'weight lifted'.
She said her profits on the adult site are only 'continuing to grow', while describing her experience so far as 'nothing but amazing'.
"There’s some lines I probably won’t cross, but as far as what I am crossing now, I think it’s a moving target," Elizabeth said of her content.
"It’s changing because, as I get a good response from people, it makes me want to share more of my life and give them what they’re hoping for - within my own boundaries.
"The fans have overwhelmed me with love and support, and I just I never expected it to be like this. I just couldn’t ask for anything more.
"I didn’t know if anybody would care or would come or would, like, join me there. But they have, and I’m just overwhelmed with happiness."
Elizabeth - who also intends to 'move into directing and producing' - said her lucrative new gig will allow her to be more fussy over what acting roles she takes on, instead of just taking jobs 'because she needs the money'.
