Self-reported figures versus audits
Complex’s March 2025 report describes Bhad Bhabie speaking about her own OnlyFans earnings on DDG’s Twitch stream. The $75 million figure is her statement, not an independent audit. XXL’s April 2022 report describes her analytics screenshots. Treat both as evidence of her claims, while keeping the distinction between reported revenue and verified profit. Complex’s March 2025 article describes Bhad Bhabie speaking about her own OnlyFans earnings on DDG’s Twitch stream. The $75 million figure is her statement, not an independent audit. XXL’s April 2022 article describes her analytics screenshots. Both reports are dated evidence of her claims, not a current audited total.
The $75 million net-profit claim
Complex reported that Bhad Bhabie said her net profit from OnlyFans was about $75 million since April 2021. The article also quotes her saying she made $1 million in six hours and $4 million by the end of the day. These are self-reported figures from the stream, not a financial statement independently verified by Complex. Complex also quotes her saying she made $1 million in six hours and $4 million by the end of the day. Those figures are part of her self-report, not independently verified accounting. Treat the $75 million net-profit statement and the daily figures as separate claims from the same stream.
At a glance
A common mistake is assuming that a high subscriber count automatically means high earnings. In reality, monthly subscription price, renewal rates, pay-per-view purchases, and tips all affect total revenue, and a creator with fewer subscribers at a premium price can out-earn one with a larger but cheaper following.
When comparing any two creators, check the time frame being reported. A figure labeled as monthly, annual, or lifetime is not directly comparable, and some sources mix gross and net numbers without saying so. Always look for the reporting period and whether platform commissions have been subtracted.
The $52 million gross and $42.3 million net figures
XXL reported in April 2022 that Bhad Bhabie’s OnlyFans analytics showed more than $52 million gross and $42,309,719.03 net. The screenshot also placed her in the top 0.01 percent of earners. XXL noted that OnlyFans had been contacted for comment. Use the figures as a dated report, not as a guarantee of current earnings. XXL reported more than $52 million gross and $42,309,719.03 net from her OnlyFans analytics in April 2022. The screenshot also placed her in the top 0.01 percent of earners. XXL said OnlyFans had been contacted for comment, so the report documents a screenshot rather than an independent audit.
Public likes are not earnings
OnlyGuider lists Bhad Bhabie with 1,940,366 public likes and a $23.99 monthly price. Likes are an engagement metric, not revenue, profit or a payout total. A large audience can support an earnings claim, but it cannot verify it. Compare the dated financial reports with the current public profile rather than treating likes as money. OnlyGuider lists Bhad Bhabie with 1,940,366 public likes and a $23.99 monthly price. Those public metrics identify the current profile and its price, but they are not revenue or profit. A like count cannot verify an earnings claim, so compare it with the dated financial reports instead of treating it as money.

OnlyFans fee and creator pricing
OnlyFans Terms of Use says creators set their own prices and the platform fee is 20 percent of user payments. A gross subscription figure is therefore not the same as the creator’s net earnings. When reading a revenue claim, check whether it refers to gross sales, net profit, a screenshot or an independently audited total. OnlyFans Terms of Use says creators set their own prices and the platform fee is 20 percent of user payments. Gross subscription revenue and creator net earnings are therefore different measures. When reading a financial claim, check whether it describes gross sales, net profit, a screenshot or an independently audited total.
Renewals and subscription totals
OnlyFans subscriptions renew automatically at the current rate unless cancelled by the renewal date. This means a public price can produce recurring revenue while a subscriber stays active. Check the current price and renewal settings on the creator page before drawing conclusions about monthly income or a particular person’s audience. OnlyFans subscriptions renew automatically at the current rate unless cancelled by the renewal date. A public price can produce recurring revenue while a subscriber stays active, but that does not prove the income of a particular creator. Check the current price and renewal settings on the creator page before drawing conclusions.
What to check in an earnings report
Look for the report date, the person making the claim, the gross and net amounts, and whether a journalist independently verified them. Complex’s $75 million report and XXL’s $52 million gross and $42.3 million net report describe different periods and metrics. Do not combine them into one annual salary or assume that the earlier figure was independently audited.
