Actress Shannon Elizabeth is reportedly making a major financial splash after launching her OnlyFans account, earning nearly $1 million in her first week, according to a source cited by Page Six.
The “American Pie” star, now 52, allegedly crossed the seven-figure mark within days of joining the platform, with more than half of her earnings coming from direct messages with subscribers, while the rest came from tips and paid posts.
The rapid income surge comes at a major personal turning point for the actress, who recently filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert, a South African conservation specialist she married in 2021. Reports say the split was filed quietly before her OnlyFans launch was publicly announced.
A representative for Elizabeth said she plans to use part of her earnings to support her nonprofit, the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, including funding a planned Las Vegas charity gala later this year.
“She’s always hustling and genuinely loves interacting with her fans,” her rep said.
Elizabeth framed her move to the platform as a way to reconnect with supporters and offer more personal access than traditional social media allows. She described the content as a “behind-the-scenes, unfiltered look” at her life and career.
“OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more,” she previously said, adding that the goal is to build a closer connection with longtime fans who have followed her career since the early 2000s.
The actress, best known for roles in “American Pie” and “Scary Movie,” is now part of a growing list of celebrities using subscription platforms to monetize direct fan engagement.
While supporters praise the move as entrepreneurial freedom, critics continue to debate the normalization of adult subscription platforms in mainstream celebrity culture.
For now, the numbers speak loudly: Elizabeth’s digital pivot is already one of the most financially explosive celebrity platform launches of the year.
