As you might expect, the majority of OnlyFans revenue is driven by subscriptions. In 2021, the total subscription revenues amounted to$489 million, or 52.5% of the total revenue.
The year before, the share of subscription revenues was slightly larger - 60% of the total revenue of $358.4 million, or $215.7 million.The rest of the revenue comes from private chats and other sources.
Creators' Revenue StatisticsLike this infographic? Feel free to use it on your website or blog, but please remember to give us credit by linking back totechreport.com/statistics/onlyfans-revenue-statisticsin your post.
OnlyFanstakes 20% of creators' earnings on the platform. So, if a creator charges $5 for a monthly subscription, the platform retains $1.
Since its launch, OnlyFans has paid over $5 billion to creators. And some celebrities have made more than $55 million on the platform.
Since the amounts specified above are creators' net earnings, we can assume their gross earnings are even higher. For instance, OnlyFans likely earned $14.750 millionfrom Bhad Bhabie's subscribers as of August 2022, based on the fact that she had made $59 million on OnlyFans by that time.
Given that the company's net revenue in 2019 was only three times that amount, OnlyFans' growth is all the more impressive.
Market ShareSource: Statista
Given how unique OnlyFans is, it's hard to estimate its precise market share. However, we can take a look at its share of creator-driven earnings compared to other platforms.
As of 2023, OnlyFans is one of the least popular platforms where users tip or subscribe to creators - only 7.8% of Americanssaid they support creators on OnlyFans in this way. However, this is likely due to the niche content on OnlyFans and its subscription model.
YouTube is the most popular platform for supporting creators, with 25.8% of Americanstipping or subscribing on the platform in 2023.
TikTok and Twitch are in second and third place, with 20.4% and 14.2%, respectively. Instagram used to be in second place in 2021 with 21.8%, but the number dropped to 13% in 2023, most likely due to the increasing prevalence of TikTok.
OnlyFans CapitalGiven such high revenue figures, it's reasonable to guess that OnlyFans' value is also quite high. We'll now take a look at OnlyFans' capital statistics, including valuation, dividends, and acquisitions.
Valuation & FundingSource: Use SignHouse
Unlike many other UK startups, OnlyFans is largely self-funded or bootstrapped." It had only one funding round, all the way back in 2019, led by AvoInvest. The details of the funding round are undisclosed.
A big reason OnlyFans doesn't attract investors is its reputation as a pornographic website, which the company has struggled to shake. Many VCs aren't allowed to invest in adult-orientated companies, and some of them have concerns about minors being able to share explicit content on the platform.
Since the company doesn't have outside investments, its estimated valuation can only be calculated on the basis of its revenue. In 2021, it targeted a $1 billion valuation, and SignHouse estimates the 2022 value to be $17 billion.
Shareholder DividendsSource: OnlyFans company accounts
OnlyFans paid $284.13 million in ordinary dividends for the financial year ending 30.11.2021, according to its reports.
That payout amounts to a very significant increase from the year before when sole shareholderLeonid Radvinsky was paid $26.7 million in dividends- almost a 965% increase.
AcquisitionsAt the end of 2020, OnlyFans acquired a UK company called Delivery Code Limitedfor 23.65 million. The purpose of the acquisition was to integrate the latter company's technology, providing wish list" functionality for OnlyFans.
However, OnlyFans' annual report states that Delivery Code Limited's technology was never fully integrated due to safety concerns, and the latter organization is still trading as an active company.

With different niches come different streams, and OnlyFans has the potential to move to other revenue models beyond subscriptions as a result and influence the creator economy across other platforms.
