18-year old Lil Tay claims $1M earned within hours of launching account on paid content platform

Lil Tay, the internet personality famously dubbed "the youngest flexer of the century," claims to have earned over $1 million within just three hours of launching her account on OnlyFans. The move came days after her 18th birthday on July 29.

Tay announced the launch to her 2.3 million followers, stating that the content had been created shortly after she turned 18.

On August 3, she posted a video celebrating the milestone, saying, “$1 million in a couple hours. I'm still the youngest one doing it for all the grown ass haters who've been hating since I was nine years old, look at me now.”

The video was accompanied by a screenshot claiming to show platform earnings totalling $1,024,298.09—generated through subscriptions, tips, and messages. The post read: “Not bad for 3 hours. We broke the f*ck out of that OnlyFans record.”

The claim sparked widespread online debate. Some social media users questioned the authenticity of the figures, speculating that they were inflated to attract more attention. Others expressed concern at Lil Tay's presence on a platform renowned for sexually explicit content and the speed at which it had grown. 

Others drew comparisons to Bhad Bhabie, another young viral star who launched a similar venture on her 18th birthday and reported comparable results. The two have a known rivalry, with Tay previously criticising Bhad Bhabie in public posts.
