Welcome to the wizarding world of Jessie Cave’s OnlyFans success.
The Harry Potter alum—who portrayed Lavender Brown in the franchise’s final three films—revealed she made £15,000 after just one day of posting content on the platform.
“I’ve earned more, easily, than my entire acting career within one year,” Cave told The Times in an interview published Aug. 7. “I see people on Instagram posting bikini shots or sexy stuff and I think, ‘You could be charging for this! You’re losing money!’ I see that being the future. Everyone will be paying for everything.”
And while the child star may have pocketed quite the lump sum—which equates to just over $20,000—after just 24 hours on the subscription-based platform, she admits she was shocked to find out just how lucrative content creation could be.
“I thought I’d make five grand, be on it for a few months and it would buy me time to work out what we’re going to do,” Cave—mom to four kids with longtime partner Alfie Brown—said. “But it’s now been over a year and a half and it’s genuinely saved our lives.”

Harry Potter‘s Jessie Cave Launches OnlyFans Focused on “Slutty Mormon” Hair Fetish
After all, while Cave has tried to wave her magic wand at other opportunities to support her family over the years, she’s had little success.
“I couldn’t go and, say, work in a supermarket because I can’t afford the childcare, and also I don’t want people shouting Harry Potter spells at me as I work at Tesco,” she explained. “I could retrain but I can’t afford to do a degree. I had a breakdown and I thought, ‘That’s it with acting, I give up. But also we have no money.’ It was a point of complete desperation.”
Cave launched her OnlyFans account in March 2025 to share non-sexual hair-focused content with a “slutty Mormon” vibe.
“It’s very much geared toward people who have an interest or fetish with hair,” Cave elaborated on her Before We Break Up Again podcast at the time. “I do a lot of videos with my hair on Instagram and I have now for a while. I just noticed that I always get comments.”
She added, “They’re never sexually depraved or lascivious. It’s never dirty comments, but I do get lots of interest in the hair thing and I just thought, ‘F–k it, I’m going to do something that is very niche.’”
And after more than a year creating content for the platform, the 39-year-old has stuck true to her brand.
“It is about wanting some kind of gaze. I wear baggy T-shirts onstage, I’ve never posted a bikini shot, I wear huge glasses,” she added to The Times. “For so long I’ve just been this quirky figure. After having four kids and feeling invisible for so long, that was really appealing to me.”

As for the rumor that Chyna, whose real name is Angela Renée White, made $240 million on the platform, she told Forbes the figure was about $238 million off.
“The actual number was close to $2 million, within a two-year span,” the model, who shares son King Cairo with ex Tyga and daughter Dream with ex Rob Kardashian, told Forbes after she left the site. “I opened it in 2020, so right when the pandemic had hit. I had opened it because I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what’s about to happen?'”
To quote Angela Yee, who reported on the reveal on Way Up, “That is crazy.”
“Then when I got fired for doing OnlyFans, I decided to do it full-time, and I was making $30,000 a month,” the Australian adult entertainer and aspiring mainstream porn star told News.com.au in June 2025. “It was May 2023 when I started to make over $100,000 per month, and that quickly crawled up to $200,000 per month, where I have comfortably sat for the past two years.”
Having sex with 583 men in six hours—a feat she said she accomplished in May 2025—required more exertion, but the stunt also resulted in a $400,000 boost to her monthly receipts.
“Now it’s about $600,000,” Knight told E! News a month later. And she wasn’t planning to raise her $14.99 per month subscription rate because, she said, “I like to make it accessible for everyone.”
“For me, there’s no amount of money that would make me stop,” she said. “There’s no goal. It’s not like, ‘Oh, if I hit this figure, I’ll stop doing this.'”
“It’s millions,” Abraham said of her OnlyFans revenue on a June 2025 episode of Teen Mom alum Kailyn Lowry’s Barely Famous podcast. “Millions of dollars a year.”
They broke up for good in 2024, but Evans’ efforts weren’t for naught: In an August 2025 livestream, she purportedly showed pal Tori Rhyne the amount she’d made from OnlyFans over the years. Looking at Evans’ phone, Rhyne announced, “$1,511,578.”
While Evans pushed back at her friend’s assessment that she’s a millionaire, Rhyne added, “You have to think about all the money you’ve made in the past. This is just one little thing.”
“You can hate on me all you want,” she said in an Instagram video after sharing a purported screengrab that showed earnings of $511,003.79 for subscriptions, $486,668.11 for messages and $26,736.19 in tips.
“We broke the f–k out of that onlyfans record,” she wrote.
She wanted her page to be a place where she could “really just be more personal with my fans,” Thorne, who charged $20 for a monthly subscription, told the Los Angeles Times after doubling her haul within a week. Content included “good night and good morning personal messages” sent via voice memo, as well as sexy-but-not-explicit photos.
“When I was racing, I was broke”, she told Truly in May 2024. “I gave up racing to become an OnlyFans model and in just over six months, I earned 1 million (Australian dollars) and bought my multimillion-dollar mansion. My absolute dream would be when I’m 40 years old to be completely retired and done from working.”
Since joining the site, “My life has done a complete 180,” she continued. “I went from not being able to afford anything and having to take loans out, literally living week by week, day by day, and now, I’m really comfortable.”
But that was only the beginning, according to Sophie, who said in an August 2025 conversation with David Dobrik that, in 18 months on the site, she’d made $82 million.
“No one believes me,” she said, “but it is very true.”
But when Blue—who shared in January 2025 that she had completed the feat of having sex with a record 1,057 men in 12 hours—asked Araujo how much she made on OnlyFans, Araujo’s answer was, “I make roughly the same amount as you do, like 2, 2.1 in a good month.”
As in $2.1 million.
“You may or may not be lyin’, but…,” Blue, who’s real name is Tia Billinger, said.
Araujo replied, “I mean, just the thing, I don’t have to f–k a thousand guys to make that much.”
But, Blue added, “I’ve got a thousand reasons more to enjoy my job.”
Sophie Rain said $6 million and her cofounder Aishah Sofey said $2.5 million, while members Alina Rose said $1 million, Julia Filippo $600,000 and Joy Mei $100,000.
Filippo told Vulture that she reached $600,000 in a month after spending time on set with Blue, prompting a bunch of the British porn performer’s fans to follow her as well.
