OnlyFans model shows insane yearly earnings as she reveals she made more than LeBron James

At just 20 years old, Sophie Rain says she has earned a jaw-dropping fortune that rivals NBA legend LeBron James. Now, she’s opening up about her wealth, fears, and the surprising way she’s kept her content “PG.”

The rise of OnlyFans has been nothing short of explosive. Once dismissed as a fleeting pandemic trend, the platform has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry, producing some of the internet’s most powerful—and wealthiest—content creators. Big names like Bella Thorne, Blac Chyna, and Bhad Bhabie have dominated headlines with their jaw-dropping incomes, while even Twitch stars like Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa have blurred the lines of content creation by raking in millions monthly from unconventional streams.

Now, 20-year-old Sophie Rain has thrust herself into the spotlight with a bold claim: she’s out-earned nearly every influencer—and even outpaced the NBA’s highest-paid superstar.

Sitting down with YouTuber David Dobrik, Rain revealed she has made more than $82 million in just 19 months on OnlyFans. To put that into perspective, basketball icon LeBron James made around $56 million in the same timeframe. “I almost made more than LeBron last year. He made $56 million, I made $43 [million],” Rain told Dobrik.

Dobrik, stunned, fact-checked her claim live by looking through her OnlyFans backend, and confirmed the shocking figure: “Okay. $82 million doesn’t disappear tomorrow,” he said, visibly floored.

Rain doubled down: “No one believes me. But it is very true.”

From Nervous Beginnings to Internet Phenomenon

Despite the eye-watering earnings, Sophie admitted that her fortune comes with its own set of anxieties. “I’m just so nervous. I’m paranoid. ‘Cause all of this could disappear tomorrow,” she confessed.

But Rain’s story sets her apart from many of her peers. Since launching her OnlyFans in May 2023, she has kept her content relatively tame compared to the adult-heavy stereotype associated with the platform. Speaking to Fox News Digital in March 2025, she explained: “You have got to have morals or else you're going to get lost in the industry. That's just what happens. It's really easy to listen to what someone else says and try to follow what they do, but you have got to stay true to yourself.”

Far from embracing the label of “porn star,” Rain insists her work remains reserved: “I’m still a virgin. I keep my content on OnlyFans very reserved, and you can still make money from doing all of these things.”

Faith, Fortune, and Finding Balance

What’s perhaps most surprising is Rain’s grounding in faith. She revealed that her strong ties to her church community have kept her focused amid the chaos of sudden wealth. “I’m very strong. I have a very close relationship with my church, and I love God. I believe that he will forgive your sins for anything, and I think that he’s happy that I’m successful.”

Her balancing act between faith and finance has sparked debate online. Can someone really remain “PG” while earning more than most Hollywood actors, A-list musicians, and pro athletes? Sophie’s story suggests that, at least in her case, the answer is yes.

A New Era of Content Creation

Her success also shines a light on the evolving definition of “content creator.” While governments worldwide crack down on adult material and enforce age verification laws, platforms like OnlyFans continue to thrive by offering creators autonomy and freedom. Sophie’s story mirrors that of other influencers who built empires without crossing into explicit territory, proving the business model is far more versatile than many critics assume.

The internet, of course, remains divided. Some call her claims exaggerated, while others celebrate her as a symbol of the new digital economy—one where a 20-year-old can rival the net worth of one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

One thing is undeniable: Sophie Rain has already secured her spot in the ongoing cultural debate about money, morality, and what it really means to be “famous” in 2025.
