In the realm of sports, NBA players often receive some of the highest salaries. Typically, those listed among the top earners are NBA athletes.
This fact has led to a recent viral debate on social media concerning which group earns more: NBA players or OnlyFans creators?
The answer varies based on the individuals compared. In the 2023-24 season, the total payroll for all NBA players is approximately $4.9 billion, as reported by Basketball Forever.
In contrast, all OnlyFans content creators are projected to generate nearly $6.6 billion this year, indicating that OnlyFans earns $1.7 billion more than the NBA. This discrepancy is largely due to the greater number of OnlyFans users, who outnumber NBA players by 2.1 million.
This surprising comparison has led to numerous reactions online, including comments like, “LeBron’s OnlyFans is coming soon” and sentiments expressing concern for what this means for society.
