I quit my coffee shop job when I made £120k as a model – now I cash in MORE, I sell vials of my sweat & get bought BMWs
A MODEL who makes £10,000 per month has revealed some of the gifts fans have sent her.
The former barista said she has received a haul worth over £100,000, and was recently bought a brand new BMW.
Alexia Grace, 25, quit her job in a coffee shop after deciding to become an online model.
The woman, who hails from Matlock, Derbyshire, explained the relationship she has with her fanbase.
She says she’ll do “anything” for her fans – and has even sold vials of her own sweat for £40,000.
Her biggest tipper has bought her a TV, a gaming PC, and a brand new BMW M4 Competition Coupé, worth £59,000.
“I’m so lucky not to be working in a coffee shop anymore,” explains Alexia.
“When I first started OnlyFans, I was making below minimum wage per month.
“Two years into it, I started earning £120,000 a year – and now I make substantially more than that.”
The model was able to quit her job as a part-time barista in 2021, after selling content on the subscription-only app for two years.
She now earns “substantially” over £10,000 a month – specialising in boxing content, but doing “everything and everything, within guidelines.”
Alexia revealed how one of her long-term followers has helped her finance her lifestyle.
“One of my fans, who I’ve had for around two years, he’s always spent a lot of money on me,” she says.
“He’s got a very, very good job.”
Within Alexia’s first year as a full-time creator, she was able to finance her dream car – a £25,000 Mercedes, for £350 per month.
But the car had a number of issues, and she couldn’t afford to keep paying for repairs.
“I had the Mercedes for a year,” Alexia explains.
Side hustles in numbers
Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income.
Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024.
Those aged 24-42 aren’t far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income.
Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one.
Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way.
“I didn’t want to keep financing it – so the long-term plan was to finance a better car.”
During a conversation with one of her fans, Alexia told him she was looking for a BMW.
The fan had “always” spent a lot of money on her – previously buying her a £40,000 gaming PC, and “decimating” her Amazon wishlist, filled with house decor and furniture.
Alexia added: “I told this guy about my car’s issues – the clicking under the hood.
“He asked me what my dream car was andI told him it was the M4 Competition.
“He just sent me £59,000 to buy it, there-and-then.”
Alexia says she loves her new car – and she wouldn’t have been able to afford her “dream” life if it wasn’t for OnlyFans.
She says her life is “empowering,” and feels free from working a regular nine-to-five.
“I’d never be able to own all these amazing things if it weren’t for OnlyFans,” she added.
“It really has changed my life.”
