I feared I would end up penniless but now make £45,000 a month – I’m the most successful woman over 55 at my side hustle
A 55-YEAR-OLD woman who was set to end up penniless in old age has revealed how she is now making £45,000 a month with her unique side hustle.
Elaina St James, from Illinois, US, claims to be the most successful woman over 55 on OnlyFans thanks to her raunchy content online.
The single mum launched her account in April 2021 and before that was struggling to make ends meet, working in a low-paid office job at £26,000 a year.
But worrying she would "never stop working", Elaina is now making so much money, she could retire several times over.
And stripping off for young men who love her "mum bod,” she's thrilled to show the world that "women are still sexy over 40".

“OnlyFans is a godsend – I’m finally looking at having a comfortable retirement,” Elaina told NudePR.com.
“I was barely scraping by and thought I would be 75 and working at Starbucks with another job on the side.
“I was really penny-pinching before, comparing frozen pizzas and always picking the cheapest option.
“Now I make more money than ever before.”
Elaina says she has been stunned by the reception she received online with men more than half her age subscribing to her content.
"People say that when you hit 40, you become invisible to men,” she said.
"I am proving them wrong. And my fans aren't just men in my own age bracket – most are 20- and 30-year-olds. My fans are overwhelmingly younger than me.
“Most of them probably don't want to date someone my age, but I provide a safe and fun outlet for their older women fantasies.
"I don't care about what people think about my lifestyle, I have no shame about it.
Elaina currently has 172,000 adoring young fans on Instagram too who regularly comment on how they much love her look.
She said: “My brand is ‘big boobs and a smile’.
“I never thought it would take off like this as I don’t have the typical model body, I don’t look perfect – but men love it.
Despite her positive outlook, the model admitted that she has experienced backlash and has even losts friends over her chosen career path.
“But the positives far outweigh the negatives<" she sayd.
Being positive about ageing is part of my message – attitude is everything.”
MUM TUM
Elaina’s new career also enables her to spend more time with her teenage son, not named for privacy reasons, and fund his education including future university courses.
She said: “Now I can be flexible with what times I work, so I get to spend more time with him.
“I never wanted to be a burden to my son and now I can look forward to my retirement.
“I can see myself doing this for another 5-10 years. I’m fit and healthy and can keep going.

“I’ll do it until I have so much money I don’t need to anymore, maybe when I’m 65, we’ll see what happens.
“Hopefully I won’t still be doing OnlyFans at 70 – that would be my cap!”
