Blac Chyna, known for her diverse career spanning modeling, music, and reality television, has recently captured public attention due to her controversial claims about her earnings on the adult subscription platform OnlyFans. Despite substantial media coverage suggesting astronomical income figures, the reality of her financial situation is far less sensational than reported.
Chyna’s Rise to Fame
Blac Chyna, born Angela Renée White, began her career as a stripper in Miami’s King of Diamonds club over a decade ago. Her popularity quickly soared, earning her a mention in Drake’s track “Miss Me” with the line: “Someone tell Maliah I’m on fire, she should work tonight… Call up King of Diamonds and tell Chyna it’d be worth the flight.”
By 2010, Chyna made her mark in the entertainment industry as Nicki Minaj’s stunt double in the music video for “Monster,” alongside Kanye West. A year later, she appeared in a music video for Tyga, whom she had a child with in 2012. The couple briefly got engaged but separated in 2014. In 2016, Chyna was engaged to Rob Kardashian, with whom she also shares a child, before their eventual split.
Beyond her relationships, Chyna has made headlines for launching multiple beauty businesses, releasing several singles, and participating in reality TV shows. One notable incident was a $100 million lawsuit against the Kardashian family, which brought her back into the media spotlight.
The OnlyFans Earnings Controversy
In recent years, however, the primary focus on Chyna has shifted to her earnings from OnlyFans. Many fans and followers express confusion over her reported net worth, currently estimated at $1.5 million, given her rumored income from the platform.
Specifically, claims circulated that Chyna earned $20 million per month from her OnlyFans account, potentially totaling $240 million annually. Such figures, if accurate, would place her earnings above even top athletes and celebrities like Lionel Messi and LeBron James.
The buzz around these claims intensified after Chyna’s April 2023 announcement that she was stepping away from OnlyFans. This announcement subsequently led to numerous articles with headlines like, “Blac Chyna Quits OnlyFans After Making $240 Million Per Year.”
Unpacking the Earnings Myth
The origins of the $20 million monthly figure trace back to a September 2021 infographic from InfluencerMarketingHub.com, which claimed Chyna was the highest earner on OnlyFans. However, the infographic’s credibility is questionable, with unclear methodology and sources cited as “various media outlets.” The infographic sparked a frenzy, leading to wide propagation of the claim without thorough verification.
During her 2022 defamation trial against the Kardashians, Chyna provided revealing insights into her financial situation. Notably, she disclosed that she did not file personal income tax returns for 2019, 2020, or 2021, and claimed not to have a personal bank account. Most tellingly, she stated her income from all sources totaled $2 million per year during 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Chyna’s Actual Earnings
Directly addressing her OnlyFans earnings, Chyna revealed she had earned a total of just $1 million since joining the platform in April 2020. This breaks down to an average of approximately $41,666 per month. While still a significant sum, it starkly contrasts with the exaggerated claims of $20 million per month, highlighting the disparity between public perception and actual financial realities.
