OnlyFans Statistics 2026
How big is OnlyFans, how much do creators actually earn, and where does the money go? Below is a clear, sourced snapshot of the platform's scale in 2026 — free to read and cite.
Revenue & the creator split
OnlyFans is one of the most profitable platforms in the creator economy. For the fiscal year ending November 2024, fans spent $7.22 billion on the platform, up 9% year over year.[1] Of that, OnlyFans paid $5.80 billion to creators and kept the remaining 20% — its long-standing, creator-favourable 80/20 split.[1]
The parent company, Fenix International, reported $1.41 billion in net revenue and $684 million in pre-tax profit for FY2024 — run by a team of roughly 46 employees.[1]
| Metric (FY2024) | Value |
|---|---|
| Gross fan spending | $7.22 billion (+9%) |
| Paid to creators | $5.80 billion |
| Creator / platform split | 80% / 20% |
| Net revenue (Fenix Intl.) | $1.41 billion |
| Pre-tax profit | $684 million |
How many creators & fans?
Estimates put the platform at around 4.6 million creators and hundreds of millions of registered fan accounts worldwide, with tens of thousands of new sign-ups every day.[2] That scale is exactly why finding genuinely good creators is hard — and why curated directories exist.
How earnings are actually distributed
The headline averages hide enormous concentration. Divide total creator payouts by the number of creators and the average comes out around $1,500 a year — but that number is misleading, because earnings are dominated by the very top. Industry analyses repeatedly find that roughly the top 0.1% of creators capture the large majority of all revenue, while the median creator earns a small fraction of the average.[2]
The practical takeaway for anyone starting out: raw follower counts matter far less than consistency, pricing and how well a creator monetises beyond the base subscription. You can model different scenarios with our free OnlyFans earnings calculator.
