Shannon Elizabeth has shared how she intends to use her reportedly massive OnlyFans income after claims she pulled in around $1m in a single week.
The actor began posting on the subscription platform earlier this month, which also happened to be the same day she filed for divorce from Simon Borchert, a conservationist she married in 2021.
Although her account has only been live for a short time, a source close to Elizabeth claimed she had already brought in “more than seven figures” within 12 days.
“[Elizabeth] is really making a name for herself,” the source added.
The insider also broke down where the money allegedly came from.
“Over half of that [money] was earned through direct messages to OnlyFans users, while tips and posts accounted for the rest.”
In a new interview with Page Six, Elizabeth said her immediate priority is securing stable housing following her break-up, explaining she’s currently relying on friends for a place to stay.
“I haven’t figured out where I’m going to live and if I’m going to buy, if I’m going to rent, what can I do?
“I know I’m going to stay out in South Africa because there’s a lot of work to do still with the [Shannon Elizabeth Foundation] and all. And I love it here! I have such a great friend group here. So my first thing is figuring out where I’m going to stay and get my own place again. Everything’s been in storage since, like, September, so I need all my stuff out of storage.”
She also suggested the additional income could give her greater flexibility in the entertainment work she chooses going forward, as she looks to expand into directing and producing film projects.
Alongside her career plans, Elizabeth said she hopes the attention surrounding her new online venture will also shine a spotlight on her charity work, including her foundation’s conservation and education efforts to protect endangered animals.
At the same time, she stressed that she’s keeping clear limits on what she will and won’t share on the platform, while acknowledging her approach may evolve depending on feedback.
“There’s some lines I probably won’t cross, but as far as what I am crossing now, I think it’s a moving target. It’s changing because, as I get a good response from people, it makes me want to share more of my life and give them what they’re hoping for — within my own boundaries.
“The journey on OnlyFans has been nothing but amazing. The fans have overwhelmed me with love and support, and I just I never expected it to be like this. I just couldn’t ask for anything more,.
“I didn’t know if anybody would care or would come or would, like, join me there. But they have, and I’m just overwhelmed with happiness.”
