The National Basketball Association is one of the best-paid sports leagues in the world, with an average player salary of over $12 million in the 2023-24 season. The NBA’s minimum salary last season was $1.16 million. Still, all the NBA players’ salaries combined are less than what the OnlyFans content creators’ made in the previous year.
OnlyFans is a content subscription service that primarily offers adult-friendly content. Many athletes from various sports have transitioned to the platform and are witnessing greater financial success than in their previous professions.
According to Variety, gross payments made through the OnlyFans platform until November 30, 2023, were $6.63 billion last year. On the other hand, the combined salaries of the NBA players last year were around $4.9 billion, which is $1.7 billion less than the combined income of the OnlyFans content creators.
