Real Housewives Make More Money on OnlyFans Than on TV!

Reality TV Stars' OnlyFans Earnings are Surpassing Their TV Salaries! Guess Which Real Housewives Make More on OnlyFans than on TV.

You might wonder if a Bravo Real Housewife star can make more money on OnlyFans than on TV. The jaw-dropping earnings of Denise Richards and Leah McSweeney on OnlyFans will leave you speechless. TV is just their side hustle now!

OnlyFans provides a platform where creators can directly monetize their content through subscriptions, tips, and pay-per-view content. This direct-to-consumer model can result in substantial earnings, especially if the celebrity has a large and dedicated fan base willing to pay for exclusive content.

Reality TV stars often have built-in audiences interested in their personal lives and activities beyond what is shown on television. By leveraging their fame and offering exclusive content that cannot be found elsewhere, they can tap into this audience in a way that traditional TV contracts might not allow, both in terms of content freedom and financial gain.

Earnings on OnlyFans vary widely based on factors such as the type of content offered, the pricing model, and how actively and effectively the platform is used for marketing. Some reality TV stars’ OnlyFans earnings are significant, sometimes in tens of thousands to even millions of dollars per month, far surpassing what they might earn from TV appearances alone.

It's worth noting, though, that success on OnlyFans requires strategic engagement and content management, and only some reality TV stars might achieve the same level of financial success. But these two stars have surpassed their TV earnings by far! Fleshbot spoke to a top OnlyFans agency, Creators Ink, and here is what we uncovered about reality TV stars' OnlyFans earnings!

Denise Richards' controversial journey on OnlyFans has been covered extensively by the media. The 53-year-old beauty joined the platform after her daughter Sami joined and started making over $80,000 monthly. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Wild Things star’s account immediately became a huge success. It’s worth noting that Denise is one of the highest-paid stars in the Real Housewife franchise. She joined the cast for season 9 in 2019 and reportedly negotiated a $4 million deal for four years. Even though she left the show after two seasons, at $1 million per season, she’s still one of the highest-paid cast members in the show’s history. Denise, whose net worth is $12 million, is making over $2 million a month on OnlyFans!

Real Housewife of New York, Leah McSweeney, claims to make more money in one week on OnlyFans than on one entire season! The 41-year-old reality TV star recently went on the podcast Sofia with an F and said:

I f--king love OnlyFans. This is a wonderful platform where people aren't censored. They don't have ads in their face constantly. They don't have negative algorithms pushing bulls--t. I feel supported. I'm making money. I get to express myself. It's fun. I love it. I'm being creative on it. It's dope.

The self-made millionaire is a fashion designer with her clothing line, Married to the Mob. Leah was on seasons 12 and 13 of the Real Housewives of New York between 2020 and 2021. She earned approximately $3,000 per episode on season 12 and $10,000 per episode on season 13. So, how much is she making on OnlyFans? Her account has 3200 subscribers who are paying  $10 a month, which is $32,000 a month!
