Kerry Katona shares how much she has made from OnlyFans after earning £160,000 in first month
Kerry Katona has revealed she is earning 'millions' on OnlyFans after monetising her assets.
The former singer was blessed with a great set of pipes that earned her a spot in Atomic Kitten, but she says that it's her 'great set of t*ts' which have earned her the big bucks.
Katona, 45, joined the adult platform in May 2020 after work drastically dried up when Covid hit, forcing her to take drastic action to stabilise her finances.
She previously revealed that she had to borrow £50 from her mum to set up the risqué page, as she could only afford to feed her kids pasta or tinned and frozen food at the time, the Mirror reported.

As she largely relied on reality TV gigs and pantomimes to make a living, the mother-of-five admitted she started 'panicking' when the world came to a halt during the pandemic.
"Everything was cancelled," Katona told The Times. "How could I pay the rent and the bills with five kids? Then, someone mentioned OnlyFans.
"I started off as a glamour girl, a Page 3 model. I wasn’t going to be a f***ing rocket scientist. I had no chance of that with my childhood."
She credits her 'great set of t*ts and lovely smile' for helping her escape her chaotic life in Warrington, the northern town where she grew up.
According to Katona, these features were her 'get-out' and 'still are' - as she's earned some serious coin from them after showing them off to paying OnlyFans punters.
The mum explained that she ran the possibility of an OnlyFans career by her children before she actually signed up to make sure they were okay with it.
The ex-Celebs Go Dating star said her kids 'were fine' about it, saying: "We’re an open family. My kids tell me everything too, even my son. I am their mum. I want to be there for them and guide them."
Katona explained that OnlyFans allows creators to 'be in control' and only take a 20 percent slice - and she admitted she'd much rather flog saucy snaps of herself than do other unappealing jobs.
She continued: "I’d rather get my t*ts out for a grand a day than pick up litter. There is so much more to OnlyFans than t*ts.
"If you are a journalist and want to teach people how to write or you are a make-up artist, you can do an OnlyFans subscription.
"But for me, the quickest way is being sexual. I do it all myself. It’s dead easy. I don’t use filters or airbrushing.
"I could sit here while we’re chatting, take off my top, do a bit of heavy breathing, film it and upload it. Why wouldn’t I? Why are you not doing it?"
Although there is no love lost between Katona and the male species, she revealed she has become 'more grateful' for them now - as they're funding her lavish lifestyle.
"They have made me so much money, rather than making money out of me," Katona said. "I made £160,000 the first month."
The former Page 3 model then revealed how much she has made from OnlyFans - and although she didn't offer up a definitive number, it's got a good amount of zeros on the end.
Asked about her earnings from the adult website, she responded: "I’m not saying because it’s just bragging, but a lot. In the millions. It all goes on the kids."
Katona won't be passing the OnlyFans baton to any of her four daughters though, despite how lucrative it may be, as she said they are all 'too good for this', adding: "Let me do what I need to do for them to be better than me."
Anyway, it sounds like the Brit star doesn't want the competition anyway - because Katona says she 'abso-f***ing-lutely' will still be selling saucy pictures on OnlyFans when she is a pensioner.
She concluded: "If my t*ts aren’t dragging on that floor and I am still making the money I am making, why would I not?"
As well as cashing in on OnlyFans, Katona is now also 'doing podcasts, pantos and Bultin's gigs', while she is also 'going on tour as Donna in Mamma Mia! for three months'.
Katona is set to discuss her OnlyFans career in greater depth, alongside other stars such as Katie Price, in the fourth series of ITV's Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which will air later this month.
