Shannon Elizabeth, best known for her roles in American Pie, Scary Movie, and Love Actually, has reportedly earned over seven figures in her first week on the adult subscription platform OnlyFans. The 52-year-old actress joined the service earlier this month to connect more closely with her fans.
Massive Earnings in One Week
According to a source speaking to Page Six, Elizabeth has made more than $1 million since launching her account on April 16. Over half of that sum came from direct messages to users, with the remainder generated through tips and posts. The actress announced her move to OnlyFans as a way to take control of her career and showcase a side of herself not seen in Hollywood.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Elizabeth said: “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”
Content Without Nudity
Despite the platform’s reputation, insiders claim Elizabeth’s content does not include nudity. Instead, she offers subscribers a behind-the-scenes look at her life. “She is super happy she now gets to take control and be engaged with her fans,” one source revealed.
In her account description, Elizabeth promises subscribers will “find the side of me that doesn’t make it into movies — more playful, spontaneous, and completely unscripted.” She added, “If you’ve ever been curious what I’m really like… You’re about to find out.”
Funding Her Charity
Elizabeth’s representative confirmed that a portion of her OnlyFans earnings will go toward the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which focuses on wildlife conservation. The actress became an advocate for animals after visiting South Africa a decade ago and learning about rhino poaching.
“When I first went out there, and I came back, I was living in New York at the time,” Elizabeth told Fox News Digital. “I remember this moment of standing at a crosswalk… Everybody’s looking down at their phones… I just had this feeling come over me of feeling like I had just been to Africa, and the problems there felt so real.”
She also runs a dog and cat rescue, which she started in 2001. “I knew I wanted to do more and do something on a bigger scale or help more animals,” she said. “Eventually, all roads were leading me to South Africa.”
Personal Life Changes
Elizabeth’s move to OnlyFans coincides with her recent separation from husband Simon Borchert, whom she married in 2021. A source told PEOPLE: “Now that she is single, she wants to have a bit more freedom and be wild.”
Celebrities Thriving on OnlyFans
Elizabeth joins a growing list of celebrities finding financial success on OnlyFans. Bella Thorne famously made $2 million in her first week on the platform in 2020. Denise Richards reportedly earns $2 million per month, while Drea de Matteo said the platform “saved my life” after she struggled to find acting work due to her refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Other high-profile creators include Iggy Azalea, Carmen Electra, Cardi B, and Chris Brown. Elizabeth’s entry into the space underscores the platform’s appeal for stars seeking direct fan engagement and financial independence.
