An adult model has shared the realities of her industry, revealing how much she earns each year.
Many people are curious about the income performers make in adult entertainment. Recent reports have highlighted how some models earn significant amounts through platforms like OnlyFans.
Well-known creators, especially those with existing fan bases, can make tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. Some established models working with major studios also earn high fees for certain projects.
Now, one performer, Gigi Dior, has shared her own experience and earnings.
In a Reddit post, she opened up about her early financial struggles. “During my first year of doing this full-time, I actually lost money,” she wrote.
She explained that she viewed it as an investment in herself. “This year, I expect to make a small profit, but it will be less than $20,000.”
She also acknowledged that some performers make far more. “I’ve seen how much others can earn—it can be very profitable. I’m still working toward that level.”
Gigi described the challenges lesser-known models face. “I consider myself not very well-known. It’s a constant effort to grow in this industry.”
She emphasized that success takes hard work. “You have to stay focused, work hard, and plan carefully. Many people enter this field but don’t treat it like a business.”
She also mentioned the different paths performers take. “Some earn a lot, find a partner, or move on to other careers.”
She noted that not everyone approaches it with a long-term mindset. “Some think they can make fast money and leave. That happens for very few people.”
Gigi remains focused on her goals. “The top 0.1% make huge amounts. I’m not there yet, but I will be.”
On the same page, she answered a question about regrets. “It depends on the day. Some days go well, and I feel confident.”
“Other days, things don’t go as planned, and I wonder if I made the right choice.”
“In that way, it’s like any other job.”
