‘I’ll never work another 9 to 5 job’: Inside 27yo OnlyFans star’s bold property plan
An adult content creator earning $200,000 a month has vowed never to work a 9 to 5 job again after turning her racy side hustle into real estate gold.
An Only Fans star earning $200,000 a month has vowed never to work a 9 to 5 job again after turning her racy side hustle into a lucrative property portfolio.
Gold Coast woman Annie Knight, 27, was employed as a marketing manager for a shopping centre when she started creating adult content “on the down low” in 2020 in a bid to crack the real estate market.

Her earnings from the online subscription platform skyrocketed from an initial $10,000 to between $170,000 and $200,000 a month after she went public and became known as “Australia’s most sexually active woman” — admitting to a body count of more than 300 people in one year.
“At the time I started my Only Fans I was only earning $60,000 in my marketing job and still living at home and that was barely enough for me to get by,” said Ms Knight, who has a bachelor’s degree in marketing.
“I really wanted to move out of home but owning property had always been my end goal. I’d been saving since I was 23, but with each year that went past houses got more expensive and it became harder and harder to reach that goal.
“That spike in my Only Fans earnings really helped me do it very quickly. After saving for four years, then I was able to do it in just a few months,” she said.
The upward shift in her revenue came after Knight was fired from her office job — the employer said she had not disclosed her “side business” — spurring her to devise a personal marketing strategy that propelled her into the top 0.02 per cent of creators, with 6,500 subscribers.
Knight put down a deposit of 17 per cent and qualified for a first-home buyer’s grant to purchase her first property in October 2023, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house priced at $750,000.
In January 2024, she paid $695,000 for an investment property, a three-bedroom house which was rented at $695 a week.
“For the past two years I’ve been looking at ways to supplement my Only Fans income because it’s not something I want to be doing in ten years’ time — it is very exhausting and takes a lot of energy and a very thick skin,” Knight said.
“I am hoping to have a big real estate portfolio where the money I earn from rent is my income.
“I definitely will never work another 9 to 5 job ever again. I promised myself that.”
She said she found the constraints of her former full-time employment “depressing” and “hated being told what to do”.

“Even when I was in school I said I wanted to be my own boss. Sure enough, when I went into the corporate world I was just so depressed. There were so many rules and restrictions.
“When I left I had so much freedom, not just financially, but to be able to travel whenever I wanted and be in control of how much I could earn.”
Knight engaged a local buyer’s agent to help with her property search, and ended up securing the first home she inspected.
Her must-have home features included great lighting and privacy.
Knight renovated the home’s dated interiors to bring it up to modern standards of living — including styling a dedicated filming room where a vision board on the wall displays a photo of her ultimate dream home.
“I wanted to increase the value of the property because I am hoping to pay off both mortgages on my principal place of residence and my investment within a year, and use the equity to purchase another property,” she said.
“My dream home would be a five-bedroom, four-bathroom house, palm trees in the front yard and a pool. I love that very modern, white weatherboard look.”
