Bok captain Siya Kolisi could earn up to R10.5m if he joins OnlyFans – survey

An online survey found popular South African rugby players like Kolisi, Faf de Klerk and Eben Etzebeth can potentially make millions a month if they start an OnlyFans account.


South African rugby players can multiply their monthly income by just joining OnlyFans, an online survey has found.

OnlyFans is an online platform where people can pay for content like photos, videos, and live streams.

While popular for adult content, the platform also allows content creators, YouTubers, fitness trainers and models to sell their content.

Live Rugby Tickets created a seed list of 100 rugby players and analysed Instagram and Cam Model Agency figures to estimate how much rugby stars could make on OnlyFans.

The methodology used to discover Rugby players who could earn the most on OnlyFans

Live Rugby Tickets used Rugbypass‘ rank of the top 100 players based on their rugby performance in 2022.

It then collected the number of Instagram followers each player has, and converted each player’s Instagram follower count to potential OnlyFans earnings, using a conversion tool from the Cam Model Agency.

This provides a monthly estimated earnings figure based on 8% of an individual’s Instagram followers subscribing to their OnlyFans.

The site assigned a value of $9.99 (R176.12) to each potential OnlyFans membership. This figure was sourced from a Business Insider article that interviewed one of the platform’s top earners.

Monetary figures were calculated in USD ($) and then converted.

The player’s current club’s earning was compared to potential OnlyFans earnings to determine how much more/less they’d earn if they set up an OnlyFans profile. All statistics were collected on 17 July 2023.
