Paige VanZant is most successful athlete to sell sexy pics ahead of OnlyFans stars like Madelene Wright and Renee Gracie
SEVERAL sports stars have turned to OnlyFans and other similar platforms to earn a bit of extra cash but ex-UFC star Paige VanZant is by far the most successful.
Former Charlton star Madelene Wright did the same but her numbers are swamped by VanZant's.
Here SunSport looks at the most high-profile examples of sports stars who have turned to OnlyFans, or other similar platforms, and how they're getting on.
PAIGE VANZANT - 1.2M LIKES
VanZant, 27, doesn't actually have an OnlyFans but she has set up her own fan page - PaigeFanZant.
She has 1.2million likes on it and it costs around £80-a-year for a subscription.
VanZant shot to notoriety with a Sports Illustrated swimwear issue shoot after making her way in the UFC.
She recently shared shots of herself in a thong bikini after a wrestling session.
MADELENE WRIGHT - 15,300 LIKES
The ex-Charlton Women's player was sacked by the club when she was caught allegedly inhaling a balloon at a party and drinking champagne behind the wheel of a Range Rover.
Since then though, she's grown into a social media star - with her OnlyFans account getting more than 15,000 likes, with many paying £24-per-month for more premium content.
She also has 261,000 Instagram followers.

"But I had my friends and family push me and say don't worry what anyone says – people are either going to love you or hate you regardless."
More than 9,000 likes later, she charges around £4.42 to view her content.
ERICA FONTAINE - 40,800 LIKES
US gymnast Erica Fontaine, 23 has amassed more than 40,000 likes on OnlyFans, where she invites us to 'get to know the FREAKY side of me'.
Not only does she post sexually provocative content, she likes to interact with her fans who send her messages.
At £7.45-per-month, the West Virginia University Athletics offers fans a rather different window into her life.
