The adult subscription platform OnlyFans is attracting a growing number of older celebrities, who are finding financial success and a new avenue for creative expression.
Actresses and reality television stars, many of whom rose to fame decades ago, are joining the platform, with some reporting significant earnings.
Donna Mills, an 85-year-old actress known for her role in "Knots Landing," launched an OnlyFans account in August 2026. She described it as a way to "spend quality time with the people who've supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am." Mills indicated openness to creating more explicit content if it aligns with subscriber interests, though she stated a preference for content that is "cute and sexy" rather than "salacious."
Shannon Elizabeth, 52, known for her roles in "American Pie" and "Scary Movie," joined the platform to share "behind-the-scenes moments." She reportedly earned over $1.2 million in her first month, surpassing her total earnings from major films.
Actress Jaime Pressly, 49, launched her account shortly before her 49th birthday, promising fans a side of her not typically seen by Hollywood. She shared a nude photo for subscribers on her birthday.
Drea de Matteo, 54, who starred in "The Sopranos," turned to OnlyFans in 2023 after facing career difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. She reported earning $75,000 in her first 75 minutes on the site, which she used to pay off debt and save her home. De Matteo has since begun posting fully nude content.
Former "Baywatch" stars Carmen Electra, 54, and Donna D'Errico, 58, are also significant earners on the platform. Electra was ranked among the top 0.1% of earners on OnlyFans within weeks of joining in 2022, and D'Errico has claimed to have made millions.
Denise Richards, 55, has achieved considerable success on OnlyFans, reportedly earning nearly $300,000 per month. She joined the platform after her daughter, Sami Sheen, launched her own account.
Reality television personalities have also joined the platform. Former "Real Housewives of New York" stars Dorinda Medley, 61, and Sonja Morgan, 62, created accounts during the pandemic, though they appear to have since deactivated them. Larsa Pippen, 52, from "Real Housewives of Miami," remains active and once claimed to have earned $200,000 from a single subscriber.
Brandi Glanville, 53, a star of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has used OnlyFans to manage significant medical debt. She credited the platform with "saving my life" after facing substantial expenses for treatment of a parasitic infection.
