Blac Chyna has had a truly impressive and weird career. A little over a decade ago, she was a stripper in Miami at a club called King of Diamonds. She quickly became very popular. Popular enough to earn a name-check in Drake’s song “Miss Me.” The line goes: Someone tell Maliah I’m on fire, she should work tonight… Call up King of Diamonds and tell Chyna it’d be worth the flight.”
In 2010, she was hired to be Nicki Minaj’s stunt double in the Nicki/Kanye West music video for their song “Monster.” A year later, she starred in a music video for the rapper Tyga. In 2012, she had Tyga’s baby. She and Tyga were briefly engaged before splitting up in 2014. In 2016, Blac Chyna became engaged to, welcomed a child with, and eventually broke up with Rob Kardashian.
In the years since, the model/singer/actress, whose birth name is Angela Renée White, has starred in several reality shows, released a dozen singles, launched a number of beauty businesses, and even forged an unsuccessful $100 million lawsuit against the Kardashians.
But today, the only thing anyone ever talks about when it comes to Ms. Chyna is her OnlyFans earnings. Take it from me. Not a week goes by without someone emailing CelebrityNetWorth to ask how Blac Chyna’s net worth can “only” be $1.5 million, considering how much she makes from OnlyFans.
I know why people are confused. It all stems from the idea that Blac Chyna at one point supposedly made $20 million PER MONTH performing on OnlyFans. And if she made $20 million per month, that would work out to $240 million PER YEAR. Roughly $120 million after taxes. Far, far, far more than $1.5 million, obviously.
In April 2023, Ms. Chyna announced she was done with OnlyFans. That announcement caused dozens of (surprisingly reputable) outlets to publish articles under headlines that are all some variation of:
“Blac Chyna Quits OnlyFans After Making $240 Million Per Year”

Variations of that headline were just recently published by:

CinemaBlend
BuzzFeed News
BET
Perez Hilton
The NY Post
Yahoo News
Complex

If these headlines were true, it would mean Blac Chyna was BY FAR the highest-paid celebrity on the planet. It would imply that in 2022, she out-earned Lionel Messi by $110 million. LeBron James by $120 million…
The rumor about Blac Chyna’s OF earnings is flying again this week, and I can’t quite figure out why. I think it might have something to do with a TMZ documentary called “The War Over OnlyFans” which premiered earlier this month.
Unfortunately, the cold, hard truth is that Blac Chyna never made a fortune off OnlyFans. The $20 million per month “fact” is a galaxy away from her actual monthly earnings. And we know this thanks to Blac Chyna herself…

Where $20 Million Came From
In September 2021, a website called InfluencerMarketingHub.com published an infographic that claimed to rank the 10 highest-earning people on OnlyFans. This infographic claimed Blac Chyna was the highest-paid person on the platform with $20 million in monthly earnings. It was a perfect headline. A headline that was repeated thousands of times across the web, all pointing back to this infographic.
The site’s methodology was not clear. For their data sources, the infographic credited “celebmix.com, brobible.com, and respectmyregion.com.” It also said, “All numbers are estimated as of 2021 and collated through various media outlets and research reports.” In other words, this was just a fun, guesstimated infographic pulled together from a lot of random web sources, whose own credibility and sources were questionable.
If you pull a thread on all the stories that subsequently claimed Blac Chyna makes $20 million per month from OnlyFans, they can all be traced back to this infographic.
Blac Chyna’s Actual Earnings
Remember that $100 million Kardashian lawsuit I alluded to in the second paragraph of this article? Long story short, Blac Chyna initially sued the family for defamation in 2017. After some delays, then COVID, the lawsuit didn’t actually go to trial until April of 2022. She ultimately lost the case, but not before taking the stand over several days to give testimony. In her testimony, Blac Chyna revealed a number of very interesting financial details about herself. For example:

She did not file for a personal income tax return in 2019, 2020, or 2021.
She claimed to not have a personal bank account.
She claimed to have made $2 million per year from all sources in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Most importantly, when asked directly about her OnlyFans earnings, Blac Chyna revealed the exact total amount she had earned from that platform up to that point. The total amount?
$1 million
Not $1 million per month. $1 million TOTAL since she began posting on OnlyFans TWO YEARS prior in April 2020. In other words, her actual average monthly earnings were…
$41,666
That’s still an impressive number… but hopefully you now understand that $20 million per month is complete fiction… unless you are the OWNER OF ONLY FANS!
