Big Brother 16 star Christine Varner has reached the Top 0.37% of OnlyFans creators and claims to be making enough money for a year's worth of tuition. In recent times, many celebrities are starting to join the OnlyFans platform as a side business. Actors, musicians, models, and TV personalities have slowly started to capitalize on showing off a more sensual side of themselves. At its core, OnlyFans is not a platform for adult content in any way. The site still brands itself like Patreon - a place for people with a following to earn some money directly from their fans. However, it is true that most of the top creators of OnlyFans do share adult content.
Christine Varner is certainly not the first Big Brother alum to start charging for digital content online after becoming famous on the show. In the past, Steven Daigle (BB10), Paulie Calafiore (BB18), and Mark Jansen (BB19) all joined OnlyFans to post X-rated content and earn money directly from their fans. In Christine's case, she does not share full nudity on the page. However, she does claim to post new pictures or videos every single day on OnlyFans, and they are, in essence, sensual and meant for adults to view. Christine also states that she's open to sending private pictures or videos to fans who message her directly on the site.
Between August and September, Big Brother 16 stars Christine Varner and Zach Rance announced that they were joining OnlyFans. After less than a month since creating her OnlyFans page, Christine has taken to Twitter to announce that she has reached the coveted category of being a Top 0.37% creator on the platform. This means that 99.63% of all creators on OnlyFans have fewer earnings and/or subscribers on the site than Christine. When a fan asked just how much Christine was making, she replied in a tweet saying, "I'm making a LOT tbh. Just made a years worth of tuition in one month." With that said, a year of tuition varies depending on where you go to college. Overall, this could mean $4,000 or over $40,000. In any case, this is a significant amount of money for a month's work even at the lowest assumption.
It must be noted that the OnlyFans platform isn't entirely open about how it calculates these percentages. However, most insiders believe that the algorithm for the ranking is a combination of earnings, subscribers count, engagement from fans, and engagement from the creator. Nonetheless, given that the entire premise of Christine's page is, as she put it, "to pay for college," it is great news that she's making enough in one month to pay for a full year's worth of tuition in student loans.
It is safe to assume that more and more reality TV stars will turn to OnlyFans once they start seeing just how profitable this platform is to those that join in. For now, there are plenty of Big Brother stars who are already on the platform and having a lot of success with it.
Big Brother 22: All-Stars airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8pm EST on CBS.
