In March 2024, a rumor surged through social media claiming that actress Denise Richards was earning a staggering $2 million per month from the subscription platform OnlyFans. This sensational assertion gained traction on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, often presented as fact. Alongside this rumor was the claim that Denise’s daughter, Sami Sheen, was reportedly making $80,000 per month from the same platform. Both Denise and Sami joined OnlyFans in 2022, with Sami, who is the daughter of actor Charlie Sheen, recently turning 18. However, these figures have remained unverified, with no reputable sources confirming them. Recent developments following Denise’s husband’s divorce filing, however, have shed light on her actual financial situation.
Divorce Filing Reveals Income and Expenses
On July 7, 2025, Aaron Phypers, Denise Richards’ husband, filed for divorce after six years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” and declaring July 4 as their separation date. This filing, submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court, revealed significant financial details.
According to Phypers, Denise earns an average of $250,000 per month, amounting to $3 million per year. Her income originates from a mix of various business ventures, brand endorsements, television appearances, and her activities on OnlyFans. While the exact contribution of OnlyFans to this income remains unspecified, it is anticipated to be a substantial part of her earnings. This figure notably contradicts the earlier viral rumor of $2 million per month yet still indicates a strong financial position, especially considering she is not actively starring in a mainstream television series.
Her monthly expenses have been disclosed as roughly $105,000, covering rent, childcare, groceries, utilities, and other living costs, resulting in an annual profit of $1.8 million after expenses.
Spousal Support Dispute
Phypers, who has not generated any income since closing his business in 2024, is seeking spousal support. In his filing, he has described Denise as the sole breadwinner and has requested that their assets and debts be treated as separate property, listing personal items like power tools, a motorcycle, and a sports car.
This divorce signifies the end of a relationship that began in 2017, culminating in a Malibu wedding in September 2018. Notably, Phypers finalized his divorce from Nicollette Sheridan just weeks before marrying Denise. While the couple does not share biological children, Denise adopted her youngest daughter, Eloise, prior to their marriage, and Phypers later became her legal co-parent.
