OnlyFans star Sophie Rain, 20, reveals why other women should only use the adult site as a ‘last resort’ – despite earning £37million in under two years

One of the highest earning OnlyFans models has revealed why she believes the platform should only be used as a ‘last resort’ –  despite having bagged £37million in under two years. 

Self-claimed virgin, Sophie Rain, from Florida has opened up about her job, urging aspiring X-rated models to think twice before choosing it as their career path.

The 20-year-old boasts a whopping 17.5 million followers on the adult subscription site and claims to have pocketed $50 million (£37 million) since starting her account less than two years ago.

But despite her skyrocketing success on the site, Sophie warned that it isn’t always the ‘glamorous’ lifestyle social media presents it to be, and that there are only room for a certain number of people to reach high earnings from using it.

Sophie, who began creating X-rated content in 2023, claims she is both a Christian and a virgin.  

Keen to offer advice to others considering creating an OnlyFans page, Sophie warned that many mistakenly believe they can make their millions by launching a ‘random page’, but that the job isn’t always so ‘glamorous’.

‘I encourage anyone to make sure you try other things before this job,’ she said.

‘Unfortunately, I didn’t have the luxury of going to college because my family didn’t have the money.’

She implored anyone with the funds to study, to do so before resorting to OnlyFans, which doesn’t require qualifications.  

‘If you have the chance and ability to study, do that first. I think everyone should get an education – get your degree, girls!

‘OnlyFans should be a last resort.’

While social media may lead some to believe OnlyFans stars indulge in a ‘glamorous’ and carefree lifestyle, the 20-year-old warned that it was much harder ‘on the mind’ than most grapple. 

‘This job is also much harder on the mind than you could ever think,’ she said.

‘OnlyFans is not always this glamorous perfect lifestyle on social media.’

Despite what others may think based on online narratives of OnlyFans models, she warned there wasn’t room for everyone earn their millions using the platform 

‘There are only so many girls who can achieve what I have.’

Sharing her secrets to success, the youngster said it was essential for any hopeful models to first establish a social media following outside of OnlyFans. 

‘Do not start OnlyFans unless you already have a social media platform or you will fail,’ she said.

‘The biggest mistake that young people make is to launch a random page, thinking that posting a few sexy photos will make them millions. 

‘It’s not true,’ she said, insisting that the work wasn’t as easy as it appeared on the surface.

‘You need to establish yourself as a name and a face first if you want to make real money,’ she advised.

Things haven’t always been easy for the model, who grew up on food stamps and previously earned a living working as a waitress.

Now with heaps of cash at her disposal, Sophie is able to enjoy the lifestyle she always dreamed of, and can easily buy whatever her heart desires.

Not only does she believe there is a finite amount of people who can make their success on the platform, but she admitted that the job requires people to ‘push’ themselves. 

‘You have to work super hard to push yourself out there and stay on people’s minds constantly.

‘I got extremely lucky,’ she confessed.

Although she has ‘no regrets’, Sophie said she would likely have opted for another career, had she had the opportunity and funds to try. 

‘Had I been in a more stable family in terms of income, I likely wouldn’t have gone this route – but I have no regrets.

‘I went from living on food stamps and serving tables to this new lifestyle in quite literally less than two years.

‘I now only fly private and can barely go out in public anymore unless I want to be recognised every minute.

‘I’m proud of myself and love being the number one girl on OnlyFans,’ she said.

The model previously said that she often shies away from creating X-rated content, despite what people may think based on her online presence. 

‘I post some explicit stuff, but not as explicit as people may think,’ she explained to DailyMail.com.

‘I am still a virgin and don’t fit in the regular “porn star” category. I see myself more of the girl next door who happens to have an OnlyFans, but one that has so much more to offer than just my own body.’

Sophie’s bank balance has raised some eyebrows among other adult content creators, including podcaster Adam22, who accused her of fabricating the figures for clout.

‘They’re welcome to question and think I’m lying because it just solidifies in my brain that what I’m doing with my career is next level and that I’m insanely successful,’ she boasted.

‘I’m so lucky to be where I am and I know this is not normal to be earning $50 million dollars.’
