Former Leeds student rakes in £2m in five years on OnlyFans

An ex-Leeds student has already made her fortune on OnlyFans - and she's only 25. Kaya Corbridge has made £2.1 million as a content creator on the platform she first joined in 2017, and has racked up 98,300 subscribers to her pictures and videos.

The requests she's been asked for range from pictures of her feet to videos of her eating and pretending to be a giant. Kaya, from Lancashire, told LeedsLive : "I've had people asking me to shave my hair off, I've had invites to people's weddings which is a bit strange.

"There are food fetishes, where people want me to pour beans on myself, there's a giant fetish where people want me to pretend that I'm a giant and I'm squashing them. So in that, I use the camera angle on the floor to make me look bigger and use a little Lego man that they pretend is them.

"It doesn't feel strange at all any more. Nothing surprises me anymore, it's just normal for me now."

Kaya quit her degree in international relations at Leeds Beckett University after she joined OnlyFans in 2017. In March 2021 she had 18,000 subscribers and earned £635,147 in the year from March 2020.

Her reach has exploded since then as she got into TikTok, and now she has almost 100,000 people signed up. While most of these are paying subscribers, in the past she said has given out free subscriptions to "give back", such as to health workers during the pandemic and more recently to disabled people.

Kaya had her best performing month in January 2022, when she made £83,000. She said even a bad month means an income of £37,000.

"It's just going from strength to strength. I'm still surprising myself all the time and it's been four years", she said.

"I've been able to travel the world, which was my lifelong dream, I've been able to help my family, put my sister through education, help my brother buy a house, help my parents if they need it. I've always said that I'll stop when the money stops but it doesn't stop - it just gets better.

"I don't think there's competition though. There's enough money out there for us all and you've just got to go and take it."

Kaya is now in the process of purchasing a farm for herself and her two dogs. She is also launching a new couple's channel with her partner on March 2 to bring in new audiences.

She doesn't regret leaving university but feels others considering the same course should think carefully. "It's something you've really got to think about," she said.

"I did it to earn extra money because I literally couldn't afford to be at university and feed myself. I had the highest loan but I still didn't have enough money to pay for my rent.

"This is perfect for me because I get to work for myself, travel the world, do all the work from my phone. It's comfortable for me but once you do it there's no going back."
