Friendly Beginnings
Bonnie Blue, 25, whose real name is Tia Billinger, ditched the 9-5 in 2022 to become a cam girl after moving to the Gold Coast in Australia.
She saw the money quickly come in and decided to shift her career to OnlyFans instead.
Bonnie carved out her niche on the site by bedding 'barely legal' guys and has made headlines with her controversial hustle.
Lily Phillips, 23, started as a sex worker while she was at university at 19, but didn't blow up as quickly Bonnie.

Both of the blondes come from middle-class backgrounds and it seems that when they first met they hit it off.
Bonnie claimed in a recent interview that she helped Lily get in the spotlight after asking her to help with Bonnie's fresher content.
Bonnie is known for heading to universities to find 'barely legal' 18-year-olds to sleep with, and tends to bed as many as she can in one night with men queuing at the door.
She also claims to have helped Lily find media contacts and help her with publicity, but six months later the friendship has fizzled out.
Gloves Off
Now, the pair are seemingly fighting for the top spot for the most popular adult star.
Speaking to the , Bonnie claimed Lily stole her idea to beat the record of bedding 1,000 men in a day.
Lily slept with 100 men in a day last year, with the behind-the-scenes footage being documented on YouTube.
The star heartbreakingly cried after the stunt and warned it's "not for the weak."
But shortly after, she announced she planned to sleep with 1,000 men in a day to beat the world record set by Lisa Sparks, who bedded 919 men in 2004.
She revealed she was in 'training' for the stunt but Bonnie wasn't going to let her win.
She decided to move her event forward and declared she already broke the record earlier this month, bedding 1,057 men in 12 hours.
Despite Lily announcing the challenge first, Bonnie claims Lily stole her idea and stabbed her in the back.
She said: "Way before Lily even put it on her socials that she'd like to do the world sex record, and when I helped her out and invited her to do my Freshers content, I shared the idea with her saying that I really wanted to do the world record."
"And I guess I'm very trustworthy and oblivious to people's bitterness so I shared my idea that I'd like to do it.
"Then it wasn't until November, three months later, she then announced on her socials that she was doing the world record."
"Rivalry suggests competition and that I don't have. In terms of the world record, both me and Lily know it was my idea as l'd spoken to her about it."
Now, the pair also seem to be fighting over public appearances, as Bonnie allegedly cancelled interviews because Lily had got there first.
In a bold move, Bonnie 'blew off' a scheduled appearance on Plug Talk podcast because Lily had already been interviewed on it just days ago, according to the host.
Adam22, an internet personality, said on X: "Bonnie cancelled multiple podcast appearances in LA because we had Lily on first," before joking about the adult industry 'politics'.
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
"Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states.
For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
Fighting Back
Despite Bonnie winning the race to sleep with 1,000 men, it seems Lily is still fighting for her spot in the adult industry.
Lily has since responded with plans of an even more extreme stunt, announcing last week that she's doing a 'backdoor challenge' with 'as many guys as possible.'
The 23-year-old also shocked the internet after filming herself parading down the streets of London while covered in male bodily fluids.
Despite her antics, Bonnie seems unfazed by lily's actions and reckons she isn't cut out for the industry.
Speaking on Lily's tears after bedding 100 men, Bonnie said it 'wasn't nice' to see her in tears.
"I'm not saying this is for everybody, nor is everyone hot enough to even do what I do, but this is something I thoroughly enjoy and I'm going to continue doing."
Both women have also shown off their earnings from bonking men online, with Lily claiming she earns millions and Bonnie suggesting she earns £1 million a month.
Bonnie admits to rage baiting online and recently posted a video thanking the haters for making her rich.
Both were also meant to appear in Las Vegas this week for the AVN awards as they were both up for winning the Independent Female Creator award.
However, only Lily Phillips attended the ceremony dubbed the 'Oscars' of porn.
Despite the apparent feud, Lily spoke to Fabulous to congratulate Bonnie on the bonk-a-thon.
