A top British adult star has spilled the beans about how much performers are actually raking in for their content, as well as revealing how much they can earn from taking a ride in a Fake Taxi.
Social media sensation Elle Brooke, from Surrey, isn't shy about discussing what goes on in the industry and likes to lift the lid on what the reality of being an X-rated entertainer is actually like.
The 26-year-old might have dabbled in the boxing world briefly, but OnlyFans is her bread and butter.
She is one of the highest earners on the adult platform and boasts thousands of subscribers, and it's their subscription fees which fund her extravagant lifestyle which we all see her live on social media.

During an appearance on the Happy Hour Podcast in 2022, Brooke explained what it was like being in the top 0.01 percent of OnlyFans stars and the impact that the pressure of it can have.
She told the hosts: "OnlyFans have made this very clever marketing technique in-house, because they know how competitive people can be.
"What's a better way to make people work harder than to know how sh*t you are or how well you're doing?
"It's so bad for your mental health though, because as soon as that drops or goes higher, that means you're getting worse, or less, income. You think, 'Oh my God I have to get back into it, I need to work harder, do better'.
"And then not only that, you go on social media and everyone's like, 'Oh, I'm in this percentage! Look how great I am'."
At the time, Brooke said she boasted a whopping 10,000 subscribers on the adult site, who were each forking out $15 (£11.68) a month for the privilege of seeing her content.
But she could always boost her monthly income by 'selling extras' and fulfilling bizarre personalised content requests from fans, such as one bloke who she claims paid her £300 'to take a s**t'.
According to the OnlyFans creator, loads of fellas also ask her for 'd**k ratings' as well as foot fetish content too.
Brooke has also dipped her toe in the pond of the porn industry and has a couple of professional videos floating around on the internet - however, she says starring in these isn't as financially beneficial as producing her own stuff.
To make a comparison, she revealed how much she had been offered to join in on a notorious Fake Taxi video - and it's safe to say the hosts were left stunned.
Brooke told the podcast: "[With] OnlyFans, you own the rights to that content.
"If you do a scene, for example like Fake Taxi, I think the standard rate is like £500."
She claimed that the Fake Taxi team also want a lot for their money - and in terms which are probably a bit too explicit to state here, she reckons the acts they want her to perform are simply not worth the cash.
"When they first approached me, that was it [£500]," Brooke continued. "Whereas with OnlyFans, I own the rights and the loyalties to all of my content.
"So I still sell [videos of] 21-year-old me and I still make so much money on it, even though it's recycled, because people still want to see it," she added.
"They know me now - but they don't know what I was like three years ago."
