Shannon Elizabeth’s new OnlyFans venture is about to heat up.
“My fans have come out for me like nothing I could have ever expected,” Elizabeth, 52, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Monday, May 4, while discussing her debut success on the adult content platform.
“It’s been a while, and I didn’t know if anybody would show up, if anybody would care that I was doing content,” she continued. “To see the fans come out and support me the way they have has just been so overwhelming and humbling and exciting. It drives me to want to do more, to share more and to give back more.”
One fan who has been supportive of Elizabeth’s OnlyFans journey is actress and fellow OnlyFans user Denise Richards.
“I reached out to Denise, actually,” Elizabeth said of her Love Actually costar. “Denise has been really helpful. She’s talked me through the whole thing, and she recommended people that she worked with who helped to teach her. I’m sure sometime in the future, maybe we’ll do a collaboration together.”
In June 2022, Richards, 55, joined the platform and quickly found monetary success. In February 2025, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told People that the business was “quite lucrative.”

While Elizabeth — who founded the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation in 2018 to protect endangered species, preserve critical habitats and support rangers on the frontlines — didn’t want to share specific numbers when it comes to how much money she’s made on the platform thus far, she told Us she’s been blown away by the financial benefits.
“We had no idea that we would do as well as we have,” she explained to Us. “My manager and I were talking about it, and he would say, ‘Well, you know, this might be what happens.’ But I think his quote was, at one point, he said, ‘You’ve now made more money in the span of a week or two than you did on American Pie, Scary Movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Love Actually combined.’”
Page Six previously reported that Elizabeth earned nearly $1 million in just one week after launching an account on the subscription-based social media platform.
“It is not my place to discuss my client’s finances, so I can’t be specific,” Elizabeth’s rep told Us on April 27 in response to the report. “But Shannon has done very well. She is overwhelmed and didn’t expect this kind of response.”

In her new interview with Us, Elizabeth was proud to share that the views of her content have surpassed 9 million — a number she admittedly cannot wrap her head around.
“It’s such an overwhelming number, and I know that it’ll taper off, and it won’t always be like the beginning,” she said. “But that’s fine because then the real fans that really want to stick with you and go on this journey with you, they settle in and we go on a long ride together. It’s exciting.”
While OnlyFans offers users more than just NSFW services, the subscription-based platform has established itself as a place for fans to interact with celebrities and adult content creators. Australian star Annie Knight exclusively told Us Weekly she began making content for OnlyFans in 2022, earning about $10,000 per month. Since then, she has only seen […]
For those who have yet to explore Elizabeth’s OnlyFans platform, the actress describes herself as an actress, storyteller and “a little mischievous” in her bio.
Users are able to subscribe to her account for free, but will receive more access to the actress if they pay additional fees.
“It’s a way to connect with the fans, which I absolutely love,” she said. “Now I can actually share even more of what I’m doing out in the field, more of what I’m doing with my charity, more behind the scenes on set when I’m working. Anything that I’m doing now, I can share with them in a much more meaningful way.”
