A well-known singer in the top 10 celebrity creators on OnlyFans reportedly earns over £5 million a month.
We are well and truly in the age of OnlyFans, while it's not just social media personalities venturing onto the site, but A-Listers too, as more big names are realising how lucrative the side hustle can be.
It's become such a popular trend in fact, that researchers have taken it upon themselves to compile a list of the top ten earners on the platform.

The study by OffRobe, as per International Business Times, compiled this list by basing it on estimated total earnings, monthly income and search popularity of the celebrities in question.
Essentially, it reveals how the celebrities are capitalising on their initial fame to find success on the platform.
As well as their estimated total earnings and monthly earnings, their current activity and monthly Google search volume were also recorded, as primary data for finding these figures were Bedbible's report on OnlyFans statistics, as well as the official site itself.
SEO tools were used to measure public interest, and data was thrown onto the list, with a huge name sitting atop it.
It may not come as a surprise, but it's 'Fancy' singer that comes in as the 'most popular' celebrity on there, with the star boasting an estimated total earnings of $48 million (£37m) and estimated monthly earnings of $9.2 million (£7m).

Azalea was revealed as the website's highest earner earlier this year, despite saying in 2021 that she would never join the platform.
At the time, she wrote on X: “I think OnlyFans can be really empowering for people, But I WILL NEVER, EVVVER join.
“I don't want to make that type of content & it only fucks up the bag for people on there who really bout that life. Shoutout to the baddies tho!!!!"
However, it seems the Australian rapper changed her mind as she joined OnlyFans in January 2023.

During an appearance on Emily Ratajkowski's podcast last year, Azalea explained her reasoning behind the decision.
She said: “I've made a lot of people so much money off my body, and I got the smallest cut off my own f**king body.
“It's been commodified and I wasn't even the main f**king benefactor of it. So, f**k this."
Azalea has also hit back at rumours over how much she's actually earned.
The star also reportedly has a monthly 'Google search volume' of 1.2 million.

It all means that she is the most financially successful celebrity on the platform, above the likes of rapper Bhad Bhabie (estimated £2.7m a month) and YouTuber Tana Mongeau (estimated £2.3m a month).
A spokesperson from OffRobe said that social media is 'reshaping' how stars can 'monetise their fame', adding: "Even inactive accounts like those of Cardi B and Bella Thorne continue to attract attention, showing that the appeal of celebrity presence on OnlyFans extends beyond active participation."
"This trend underscores the evolving landscape of celebrity income, where online platforms offer lucrative opportunities for engagement and financial gain, independent of traditional entertainment avenues," they concluded.
