Aussie boxer Ebanie Bridges earning generational wealth from ‘findom paypigs’

Champion Aussie boxer Ebanie Bridges has revealed her bizarre revenue streams saying men “feel privileged to give me their loser money”.

She went viral for her lingerie weigh-ins, had risqué posts blocked on Instagram, and has built a business empire by using her sex appeal.

Now world champion boxer Ebanie Bridges is “rinsing” men of their money on OnlyFans.

Far from being wary of social media, 36-year-old Bridges has worked it to her advantage to build the “Blonde Bomber” brand.

While she often receives distasteful comments and requests, the England-based Australian remains unperturbed and has turned her attention to “findom” fetishists, who derive pleasure from giving their hard-earned money to domineering women.

“I’ve got freaks that want to buy my dirty socks and buy my bathwater, I rinse them for it, I’ll take your money,” Bridges said.

“I don’t have time for it, but if I did put my bathwater in a jar I could sell it.

“Some of these paypig guys, these findom (financial domination) guys, I can get two grand in half an hour from them. I’ve had people just want to pay for my bills.

“They’re honoured to give me their money, they feel privileged to give me their loser money.

“I have a few of them, that’s what OnlyFans is good for.”

Bridges joined OnlyFans before she defended her IBF bantamweight title against Aussie rival Shannon O’Connell last December, and is earning so much from the website she says she will create “generational wealth” for her future family.

“I was the first female boxer on OnlyFans, but now you’ve got Mikaela Mayer, Siniesa Estrada, guys like Devin Haney, Derek Chisora, Andy Ruiz, a whole bunch of influencers that are using it,” Bridges said.

“It’s not porn, it’s moving away from porn. I got paid over a quarter of a million pounds just to start it.”

Bridges isn’t the only Aussie making the most of the money on offer across social platforms.

Paydays in excess of $50,000 per-post are on offer to some of Australia’s most popular athletes if they can harness their social media followings correctly.

There is genuine money to be made beyond the already gaudy salaries, prizemoney and partner sponsorships athletes have traditionally cashed in on – and Instagram is the platform of choice.That’s the word from social media and influencer guru Danielle Lewis, who says athletes can charge one-off fees “2-4 times” the standard market rate due to what she labels the “celebrity tax”.

Take six-time Fittest Woman on Earth, Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr, as an example.

The Queenslander boasts a staggering 1.9 million Instagram followers and a total social media reach of roughly 2.6 million.

With her Instagram reach alone – taking into account her status as the most popular CrossFit athlete in the world – Lewis says Toomey-Orr “could be getting anywhere from $25-50k per post”.
