Former UFC and BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) star Paige VanZant has been candid about her financial success since venturing into the realm of exclusive content on OnlyFans. However, in a recent revelation, VanZant shared the astounding scale of her earnings from the platform.
During an appearance on the Only Stans video podcast, VanZant disclosed that the revenue generated from a single day on OnlyFans exceeded the total amount she earned throughout her entire fighting career. While the host, Glenny Balls, framed the question around her fight earnings versus her income from OnlyFans, VanZant didn’t specify whether the money was solely from her time in the UFC or if it included her earnings from both the octagon and BKFC.
Nevertheless, her assertion sheds light on the significant financial impact this career transition has had on her life.
“I’ve been really fortunate that my career, even outside of the UFC and outside of fighting, has been pretty successful,” VanZant said. “I’ve worked pretty hard in other industries and trying to cross over to I guess more of a mainstream personality. But yes, OnlyFans has definitely been my largest source of income.”
VanZant went on to emphasize that her earnings in a single day on OnlyFans eclipsed what she made during her entire fighting career. She acknowledged that this newfound wealth has reshaped her perspective, describing her journey from a humble upbringing to financial security as an ongoing motivation.
“I would say combined in my fighting career, I think I made more money in 24 hours on OnlyFans than I had in my entire fighting career combined,” VanZant shared. “And so that’s why it’s hard as a person…you know, [I] was nervous about the stigma, but now … it’s hard to walk away. I feel like … when you’re one of those people that you were born poor, you grew up poor, and then you become rich, it’s almost like you always just feel poor. So you always want to continue to work hard, and I am lucky I’m in a position where I have been able to help my family; my husband and I help our family, and we do everything we can to bring everybody up to the table. … So it … it justifies doing, you know, exclusive content, knowing that I’m helping take care of everybody around me.”
When asked if she considers herself rich now, Paige VanZant responded with a smile, saying, “I would assume so.”
Despite her lucrative endeavors on OnlyFans, VanZant has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the BKFC ring for one last fight.
