With alternate sources of income available to public figures like athletes, it’s amazing to see just how much one can make in other avenues.
Ex-UFC fighter Paige VanZant recently spoke to Barstool Sports about her wages and her jump from Instagram to OnlyFans. She revealed that she not only made much more as a model on OnlyFans, but she’s actually made more in one day on the online platform than she has throughout her entire MMA career.
She spoke on how the pay disparity between her OnlyFans modeling and fighting isn’t even close, as the fighter made her entire career earnings in 24 hours. Though this seems like hyperbole, this isn’t too farfetched, as subscriptions are becoming a pretty widespread side career for many models and people.
VanZant, 29, was a successful UFC fighter and MMA fighter, with an 8-5 career record, but looked to explore different business ventures. Her Instagram modeling career netted her over 3.2 million followers, before jumping to paid subscriptions and exclusive content on OnlyFans.
VanZant is enjoying a successful career away from the physically demanding UFC as she continues to gain followers and modeling opportunities.
