Olympic athletes are turning to OnlyFans to make extra money as they have 'what people want'

One Olympian is charging subscribers $10 a month for content

Apparently scoring gold doesn't always bring you the big bucks as several Olympic athletes have turned to OnlyFans to rake in a bit of extra cash.

While it differs from country to country, Olympic athletes don't necessarily get paid as much as you'd think they would be for being the best of the best in their sport of choice.

However, a lot of athletes have turned to sites like OnlyFans for more money - and in some cases - to ensure their livelihood.

29-year-old British diver, Jack Laugher, recently sent his fans into a frenzy after announcing he had launched an OnlyFans account that they could access for a nifty $10 a month.

"Obviously, I've got what people want," Laugher said, who's currently competing at the Paris Olympics, to The Telegraph.

"I'll happily cash in on that. I'm a bit of a hustler and I want a bit more money if I can."

"The funding hasn't changed [in years," Laugher continued to clarify. "I'm top three in the world, and it is £28,000 [$36,000] a year."

Although he didn't disclose what he makes from OnlyFans, his fellow teammates have also joined in on the platform with divers Noah Williams, Daniel Goodfellow, and Matty Lee all making accounts too.

However, Laugher has opted to share content that's safe for work, posting pictures of himself in his 'speedos, briefs, boxer and more' for his subscribers rather than full frontal nudity - and he also allows for his subscribers to chat to him.

Another former Olympian, Elise Christie, also said that making an OnlyFans account 'saved her life' after she decided to retire three years ago.

"I went from being someone who won medals under a system to then having absolutely nothing and just being dropped out and left to understand life," the former British short track speed skater told The Telegraph.

"I had lost my house and was working three jobs at the time…[OnlyFans] brought me back from a really dark place, and I now use it positively."

Christie, who also doesn't share any X-rated content, clarified she mainly uses her platform to engage with fans and answer their questions on her experience as an Olympian.

"A lot of people just use it to engage with me and my life, learn more about it and what went on and question me about sport and fitness." she said.

"I use it as engagement for fans that have been with me for a long time. Once you are using it in the way that you are comfortable with, you're not forced into things or doing things you don't want to do, you can use it in the way you want to use it.

"At the end of the day, it kind of saved my life at one point as I had nothing."
