Brazilian professional volleyball player Key Alves has revealed she makes 50 times more on OnlyFans than she does with her sport.
The part-time influencer and part-time athlete currently has 2.3 million followers on Instagram alone, making her the most followed volleyball player in the world.
The back-row defensive specialist is now getting set to take part in the 2022/23 Paulista Championship season with Osasco Voleibol Clube, however, it’s her career outside of the sport that’s actually bringing in the bank.
In fact, it’s bringing her in a lot more money than her professional sports career, which is nuts when you think about it.
She spoke to Brazilian news outlet O Globo, where she maintained that volleyball was her main focus, however, she can’t quite let go of her parallel occupation.
She said: “I am going to the third year in a professional volleyball team and I consider myself a professional athlete.
"But things off the court started to grow a lot for me. So I started to give a little more attention to a parallel career.”
That career off the court is certainly helping to pay the bills, especially if professional volleyball isn’t cutting it.
She continued: “I consider myself an athlete and that's what made my image grow on the internet.
“So, I'm an athlete, a model and also an influencer and entrepreneur of my own businesses."
"I earn about 50 times more with digital platforms than with volleyball. It really is about that.
“I earn a lot on OnlyFans because the subscription is fixed for the whole month.”
Alves charges her OnlyFans subscribers $14 a month, with American Post reporting that she has been able to collect more than $500,000.
However, despite comfortably being able to make a career outside of sport, she claims her love and focus will always be volleyball.
And it certainly seems like she’s on her way to becoming a top star in the sport.
She was recently called up to the Brazilian national volleyball team and is one of the most promising athletes in Brazil.
She said: “I love playing volleyball more than taking pictures.
"That's why I'm not going to stop with my career on the court even if it's currently possible [financially speaking]."
