Sophie Rain became one of the most talked about influencers in the world this week thanks to her viral earnings on OnlyFans.

The social media sensation, who turned 20 in September, has been all over the place since announcing she made $43 million from OnlyFans last year.

While mainstream media is just starting to pay attention to the Miami bombshell, Sophie is already famous on platforms like TikTok and YouTube.

While Generation X had Pamela Anderson and Millennials had Megan Fox, Sophie is the sex symbol par excellence for Generation Z.

Her social media following is impressive: the young star has more than nine million followers on TikTok, five million on Instagram and three million on Snapchat.

Her most popular TikTok video, which shows her dancing to rapper J. Dash’s hit “Wop” in an arcade, has more than 96 million views.

While Sophie always dreamed of becoming a top influencer, she never imagined that she would one day make millions from OnlyFans.

“I never thought I would become an influencer. I’m still waiting to wake up from a dream. None of this feels real,” she previously said.

How did Sophie become famous?

Sophie’s rise to internet superstardom happened entirely by chance.

While she was working as a waitress and trying to grow her following on social media, the teenager was thrust into the spotlight by a raunchy viral video.

The video showed a young woman who looked exactly like Sophie performing sexual acts in a skin-tight Spiderman bodysuit.

Sophie has claimed that she wasn’t the person in the video, but that didn’t stop people online from assuming it was her – which sent her following skyrocketing.

“A lot of people were talking about how I looked like her and how I was the one in that video and it just captivated me,” she explained on Twitch.

“Every single one of my comments on TikTok was flooded and I couldn’t escape it.”

Her boss at the time, who mistakenly believed that Sophie was doing porn, then fired her from her job as a waitress.

When did Sophie join OnlyFans and how much does she earn?

After her release, Sophie felt she had no choice but to capitalize on her online fame by opening an OnlyFans account.

Although Sophie wasn’t the girl in the Spiderman video, she decided to embrace the scandal to grow her fan base and gain subscribers.

“My friends and the people around me said I should just open an OnlyFans account and just use it to my advantage,” she admitted to YouTube star Kowski.

“I played into it, people loved it and it started blowing up,” she added.

Sophie joined the fast-paced site in April 2023 and within 18 months she became one of the most successful OnlyFans creators of all time.

According to Business Insider, the average OnlyFans creator earns around $1,300 per year, while Sophie managed to earn a staggering $43 million between November 2023 and November 2024.

Dr. Phil star Danielle “Bhad Bhabie” Bregoli famously earned $57 million from OnlyFans, but that was over a three-year period on the platform.

Who is Sophie with?

Despite her professional work, Sophie is a devout Christian and a virgin who keeps her romantic life private.

She previously dated S**t Me Out rapper NLE Choppa and the pair even collaborated on music and content together.

However, she claims things ended when she found out another OnlyFans star had texted him.

She has also denied dating Kick streamer Adin Ross.

“I am a virgin. “I’m still a virgin to this day,” she told Kowski.

“I’m a Christian.” I know it seems strange that I do (OnlyFans), but I don’t do anything different with anyone on my OnlyFans. That’s just me.’

Sophie has also insisted she is “waiting for the right person” to “spend the rest of my life with”.

Does Sophie’s family support her slippery career?

Although she is now a multimillionaire, Sophie grew up in Florida on food stamps.

After finding huge success on OnlyFans, the social media star used some of her earnings to pay off her parents’ tax debts.

“Now my parents don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck anymore,” she said proudly.

Sophie said her parents were “surprised” by the gesture – before her father burst into tears.

“My father started crying when he realized what I had done. “He hugged me tighter than ever and kept thanking me,” she shared.

“They told me to just keep doing what I was doing and that they would always support me no matter what.”

“It feels so nice to be able to help my parents and siblings.”

“It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do, and it’s one of the main reasons I do what I do.” Seeing them struggle growing up really touched me, and they don’t deserve that .”
