Vanessa James, 32, from Texas, worked seven days a week as a waitress – but gave up her taxing role for a more lucrative alternative.
The mum-of-two had dabbled in OnlyFans while working at the restaurant, but decided to pursue it full time when she realised how much money it could make her.
Keeping it a secret from her family, Vanessa James travelled 400 miles across the state to Houston and pursued OnlyFans full time.
After launching in May 2020, it took the model only 3 months to bag her highest monthly earnings – raking in a show-stopping $60,000 (£48,000).
Vanessa has accrued an impressive 2.2 million followers across all social media platforms.
The mum has used the fruits of her labour to completely revamp her image – forking out $50,000 (£40,000) on plastic surgery including a tummy tuck, boob job, labiaplasty, brachioplasty, multiple rounds of liposuction and 3 BBLs.
Vanessa admits that she was ashamed of revealing her new-found plans to her loved ones.
She said: “So one day, after seeing how much money other women were making, I decided to quit my day job and move away, taking my two young sons, my sister and her two kids with me also.
“I told my family I was going away to live with someone I’d been talking to for a while and who promised to help me with finances.
“[At first], I didn’t want to tell them the truth.
“I rarely took nudes or sent provocative photos to anyone.”
Overjoyed that she took a leap of faith, Vanessa is using her handsome earnings to invest in her children’s future.
Vanessa continued: “My friends were very supportive and always have been, they don’t knock anyone’s hustle.
“I have no regrets in switching professions.
“I have made myself a stay-at-home mother while still working and I am able to spend so much more time with my children.
“It’s been such a blessing.”
