Katie Price and Kerry Katona reveal staggering sums they earn on OnlyFans
KERRY Katona, Katie Price and Lauren Goodger have revealed the eye-popping amount of money they’re raking in on OnlyFans.
The trio, along with Love Island‘s Hannah Elizabeth, appear in the first episode of the new series of Olivia Attwood‘s Getting Filthy Rich.
And they lay bare the realities of stripping off on the subscription platform and the reasons none of them will ever go fully naked.
Kerry, 45, couldn’t believe it when she turned to the platform while facing the prospect of her third bankruptcy and raked in £175,000 in her first month.
She tells Olivia: “Because of OnlyFans I got offered a mortgage by a high street lender and I wouldn’t be able to do any of that if I did not get my t*ts out on OnlyFans.”
In total, she’s made millions from the site and the predominantly middle-aged men who crave her content.
When Olivia probes if she reveals everything on the site, Kerry jokes: “Who wants to see that after five kids? I might have to pay them.”
Kerry’s content, which is occasionally shot by her mum, is proudly unfiltered, with strictly no airbrushing.
“It’s all just real,” she says.
The former Atomic Kitten star paved the way for other celebs to follow, notably pal Katie Price, who she introduced to the platform.
“I didn’t think I’d ever get work on TV again,” admits Kerry. “I think I was the first celeb in Britain to be so open and honest about it. I normalised it for people to be doing.”
Being on OnlyFans has come at a cost though.
Her daughter was bullied in the street by teens who branded Kerry a “s**g”.
“My kids are never going to have it easy because Kerry Katona’s their mum,” she says.
“When we first moved here this bunch of lads followed her saying ‘your mum’s a s**g, she’s on OnlyFans’ and she came home crying, heartbroken, and it killed me.
“I said next time you see them turn around and say ‘well tell your dad to stop f**king subscribing then’, and she did.
“All I care about is providing for the kids. I had nothing I was on ketchup butties while my mum was out on the p*ss. I’d be 8 years of age cashing my mum’s giro. It’s just making sure I can provide for my children.”
Despite her earnings, Kerry wants her girls to steer clear of doing OnlyFans themselves.
“I’d be devastated,” she says. “They’re the best five parts of me. That’s why I’ve done what I’ve done so they don’t have to.”
Lauren, 39, was a reluctant user of the site and only had a change of heart after feeling the pinch during the coronavirus pandemic.
She currently has 500 subscribers who shell out $50 a month for her content.
Her cost is significantly higher than Kerry’s, but Lauren would rather fewer eyes were on her account rather than lowering the fee for a wider audience to see.
To date, her most lucrative month saw her earn £30,000, which helped to support her and daughter Larose, four.
“Way back years ago when I was doing more TV work I was like ‘I’m never doing OnlyFans’ that’s not me,” she says.
“A few years later we went into Covid lockdown there’s no photo shoots, there’s no filming. Had these big bills come in and was like I have to pay this off so I sort of got backed into a corner. I was like I’m just gonna have to do it.”
To this day, she’s still conflicted about it.
“I wouldn’t want to sit here and be like I absolutely love it,” she admits. “Do I really want these men to have these pictures? Do I really want to do this for how long and everyone knowing about it? And people looking at me thinking gosh she’s a successful lovely girl why she’s doing that but that’s the stigma around it. I can’t tell the world it’s not what you think.”
Lauren refuses to go fully nude, but she has upped the sexiness of her content as time has gone on, and she shows Olivia a topless video of her in the bath that earned her a “few grand”.
She says: “There’s only so many pictures in stockings and underwear sets you can sell. It’s more boobs, bum a few videos.”
Larger amounts of money come in through custom requests, for which Lauren charges around £6.5K.
One saw her topless sucking her thumb, which she said made her feel embarrassed.
Her fanbase is slightly younger than Kerry’s, averaging between 30 and 35, though one man as young as 19 has signed up.
She says: “One of my friends did say ‘Lauren please delete, you don’t need to do it, you’re so much better than this’.
“Without OnlyFans I wouldn’t be able to pay all my bills. I have my house, my car, my child so don’t judge me. I’m not doing it so I can buy a Chanel handbag. I need the money. I’m only doing it so I can support myself. I need to live.”
Savvy Katie Price, 47, is embracing new technology to monetise herself in a way others aren’t… yet.
She’s the first celeb in the UK to put out her own AI app that allows fans to interact, and even talk dirty to, her alter-ego Jordan.
The most expensive subscription for the app costs £30 a month while the lowest is just £4.99.
Eventually, mum-of-five Katie says it could earn the equivalent of her OnlyFans content, which she says makes between £50K and £80K a month.
Again, she won’t go fully naked, nor will she allow her AI ‘twin’ to either.
“I have to think of Junior and Princess,” she says. “Imagine his mates if they saw everything. That’s not fair on him or Princess. Not only that, I’ve always said ‘I’d never do it’.”
Katie’s content creation to earnings ratio is insane.
She only shoots once a month and makes more than most do in a year.
“If I do content every day, it’s ridiculous money,” she says. “But I don’t. I’m so lazy with it. I’m not greedy either. I’ve had the Ferrari. I’ve had everything.”
After hearing from all four ladies on the show, Olivia walks away with mixed feelings.
She said ahead of the episode’s release: “Our stance is always very neutral. And that’s why when I do my think piece after meeting people, we have to kind of, we have to explore both sides of the coin.
“Because I definitely don’t want Getting Filthy Rich to ever, you know, come from the standpoint of like glamorizing or encouraging people to pursue this line of work who it might not be suitable for.”
