How Successful Is Stephanie Matto's OnlyFans?
Stephanie Matto made history as one half of the first same-sex couple to appear on TLC's 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Season 4 of Before the 90 Days followed the New York native as she traveled to Australia to meet her long-distance girlfriend, Erika Owens, for the first time. The whole thing was a little complicated, though. When Stephanie let slip that she hadn't come out to her family before leaving. Despite appearing on a show about couples (most of whom get engaged), Stephanie's parents thought she and Erika were just friends. That didn't go over too well with Erika and put a serious strain on the relationship.
The couple — who struggled to balance intimacy problems and deadly medical conditions — found themselves in the center of a 90 Day Fiancé scandal when viewers accused Stephanie of pretending to be bisexual for fame and YouTube followers. While someone's sexuality is no one's business but their own, Stephanie recently announced that she is unclear of her orientation and has opted to remain celibate, per Cheat Sheet.
Stephanie made headlines again in 2020 when, instead of pivoting to a TLC spinoff, she pivoted to OnlyFans full-time. Her dedication to her NSFW platform has been met with a certain amount of criticism from fans, who often leave snarky comments on her Instagram. Stephanie maintains that her OnlyFans is so lucrative that she was able to gift her mom a brand new Porsche, per In Touch Weekly. So, how successful is it exactly? Let's find out.
Stephanie Matto is making serious money
When fans began mocking Stephanie Matto's OnlyFans, she clapped back with some seriously impressive screenshots. "I am not full of s**t or trying to sell you a lie," she said via a since-deleted Instagram Story, "The proof is there, I have the tips and tricks on how to make a living doing this, and it may not be easy, but it's possible!" And just how much proof was there? Roughly $40,000 worth.
Between Aug. 1 and Aug. 14, 2020, Stephanie apparently brought home about $10,000 in subscriptions, $1,000 in tips, and $23,000 worth of messaging fees from her OnlyFans. She's been able to buy a house and some cars with her earnings, but some of that money also goes right back into the business.
On Sept. 3, 2020, Stephanie posted a video to her YouTube channel entitled "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FACE!??" where she opened up about getting plastic surgery. She opted for liposuction to remove a small pouch of fat under her chin. "I would see [the fat] if I ever had a side profile photo of myself, I would see it on television," she said. "As you guys know, my job is literally my appearance... because I do OnlyFans. So, I want to feel my best and this was something that bothered me for a long time throughout the years." According to Real Self, the procedure costs around $3,000. You gotta spend money to make money.
