One emerging avenue is OnlyFans, which has become a particularly popular option for public figures looking to monetise their existing fanbases.
The online platform allows users to subscribe to individuals for content that is typically adult in nature.
However, creators can also use it to share behind-the-scenes material, fitness content, exclusive photos and videos and personal updates.
Which celebrities are on OnlyFans?
Harry Potter star Jessie Cave
Harry Potter star Jessie Cave recently revealed she has already made more money on OnlyFans than she did in her nearly two-decade career as an actress.
The mum-of-four, best known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film franchise, shared in an August interview she earned £15,000 ($A22,000) in one day after she launched the account in 2025.
“I’ve earned more, easily, than my entire acting career within one year,” she told The Times.
