Imagine if you could make money by selling your bath water online? That was the dream of Instagram star Belle Delphine who recently managed to sell hers for £24 a go. The 19-year-old has been in the news lately after pulling a series of stunts which has led to her Instagram account being shut down. She uses various social media platforms to pull Ahegao faces (from Japanese cartoons, showing characters' exaggerated facial expressions during sex), drink raw eggs and pose with a dead octopus with googly eyes.
This has gained her a following of thousands of fans ready to part with their cash to see as much lewd content as they can possibly manage. Some people have praised Belle for her business acumen, while others have been quick to suggest that she appropriates Japanese culture. But regardless of what you think of the pink-haired wonder, here's somethings that you may or may not know about her including her Instagram account, her Patreon, her boyfriend and her best pranks.
Delphine was born Belle Kitschner in South Africa but has since moved to the UK where she currently resides. Nobody really knows much about her family, although she does appear to have a thing for kitten and hamsters.

Belle came to fame via Instagram where she had over 4.5 million followers. That was until she got banned after 'violating nudity guidelines'. Her account teetered between pornography and modelling and takes inspiration from both gaming culture and anime.
How does Belle make money?
Earlier this month, Belle decided to maximise on her popularity by flogging her bathwater. According to Belle, the GamerGirl Bathwater is "bottled while I'm playing in the bath. This really is bathwater."
She adds: "Disclaimer: This water is not for drinking and should only be used for sentimental purposes."
A little pot of the water cost £24 each and she sold 500 bottles in just two days.
However, she makes most of her money on crowdfunding site Patreon, where fans pay to get NSFW photographs from her, and even interact with her if they pay enough.
For $1,000 a month (that's not a typo) you can become 'the king of her world' where you get access to her private Snapchat, access to Ahegao photos (see above) and a 'very lewd polaroid signed with a kiss'.
For $2,500 you would become 'her god', according to the site, of which she writes: "You are my god, I couldn't possibly ever thank you enough. <3 I couldn't possibly think of a good enough reward for the very best Patron I will ever have. <3 If you achieve this tier, please private message me. I'm not sure what reward I could give you, but we'll talk about it. I love you."
She currently has 4267 patrons.
Does Belle have a boyfriend?
In between pulling faces, taking snaps and selling bathwater, I'm not sure where she'd fit the time in to have a boyfriend. She keeps everything about her life outside of modelling close to her chest, so it isn't clear whether the cosplayer is single or not.
Latest pranks
She recently trolled her 3.8 million followers by pretending she was going to create her own Pornhub channel if one of her photos hit over a million likes, which it did - in fact, it almost gained double that.
True to her word, the gamer then set up an account with the porn giant. But sadly for her army of supporters, her first video - entitled 'Belle Delphine strokes two BIG cocks' - didn't quite live up to their expectations. Rather than seeing the Instagrammer get down to business with a couple of guys, the video was just Belle sitting on a bed and playing with two stuffed cockerels.
Needless to say, the majority of her followers lost their minds.
One satisfied customer just said: "This is exactly what i wanted and expected."
I no longer know what to expect in 2019.
