OnlyFans model Sophie Rain is in the headlines again after making bold claims about her payout and comparing it to LeBron James’ salary. He is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, and thus, her comments drew attention among fans who are in disbelief.
She has posted screenshots revealing she has made tens of millions in a single year from her OnlyFans account. However, people are skeptical on social media and have a hard time believing her.
Sophie Rain wonders if she earned more than LeBron James in 2025
OnlyFans model Sophie Rain’s rise to attention began when snippets of her April 2025 podcast interview came to light. On the Bangin’ Out podcast, she revealed her revenue and said, “I did make $43 million in one year last year. That’s a fact.”
Soon after, Rain posted a screenshot of what she said were her platform analytics. They covered from June 2023 through November 2025. The chart she shared online lists a total earnings of roughly $95 million across two years. She captioned the post saying, “thankful for two years on here.”
The OnlyFans model then compared her earnings directly to the NBA athlete James, which drew skepticism. She asked, “Did I beat him this year? $52M ?”
At the same time, Rain has spoken about the real-world fallout of her career. In interviews, she revealed that her success had affected her family. They were laid off their jobs after their employers learnt what she did for a living. However, Rain now provides financial support to them.
Also, Sophie Rain pushed back against the notion that income from OnlyFans is easy to come by. She explained, “Girls see the headlines and think they’re going to wake up rich. … Most girls I know are barely pulling in $500 a month.”
Fans on X voiced their opinions. A user said, “Nah cuz he has other income sources than just nba salary,” while another wrote, “Sophie rain making more money that LeBron might just make me sad.”
