Short answer: Blac Chyna joined OnlyFans in April 2020. A Statista chart reported in 2022 put her at about $20 million a month and top of the platform, which would be $240 million for 2021. She has said the real figure was close to $2 million over two years. This page lays out what was reported, what she said herself and where the numbers conflict.
What was reported
Complex reported on September 2, 2022 that, according to research publisher Statista, Blac Chyna made $20 million a month in 2021, making her the top-earning creator on the platform. Complex noted she launched her account in April 2020 and charged $19.99 a month, and that if the numbers were correct they added up to $240 million in 2021. Complex also said the figure differed sharply from what came out in court earlier that year. Actress Bella Thorne was listed second at an estimated $11 million a month, a figure Complex attributed to Variety. See our Bella Thorne page for the sourced detail on her launch.
What she said in court
In April 2022, Blac Chyna testified in her lawsuit against members of the Kardashian and Jenner family. Radar Online reported that she told the jury OnlyFans had been her biggest moneymaker in the past couple of years and that fans had paid her over a million dollars for exclusive photos on the platform. The same report says she testified that she made about $2 million a year in 2018, 2019 and 2020, mostly from personal appearances at $25,000 an event. TMZ, quoted by Complex, reported her saying her OnlyFans earnings were $1 million.
Her 2023 correction
In a March 2023 interview with Forbes Talks, reported by theJasmineBRAND, she was asked to clear up the number. She said: “The actual number it was close to $2 million…within a two year span,” and “I definitely did not make $240 million.” She said she opened the account in 2020, during the pandemic, at a time when she was dealing with many lawsuits and needed to keep her home and look after her children. The same outlet notes that her mother had also dismissed the $20 million a month claim.
Why the numbers differ
- The $20 million a month figure comes from a third-party research chart, not from OnlyFans or from her.
- Her own figures, in court and in 2023, are in the low millions.
- Neither side has published tax or payout records, so only the creator’s own statements and the chart can be cited, and they cannot both be right.
The lesson for readers comparing creator income claims is to ask who produced the number. Our top OnlyFans earners page and the creator platform fees guide explain how fees change what a creator keeps.
