It was on the 'Only Stans' podcast, from Barstool Sports, where the fighter made this statement that left all her followers speechless.

It was in 2020 when the fighter decided to start a new career in a new industry. She made a profile on the well-known adult content website, where she started making good money!

This platform "has definitely been my biggest source of income," reaffirms Paige VanZant, who started with suggestive photos but, over time, has made the leap to more specific content.

"I'm trying to make the transition to a more conventional way of making money. If people don't want to hire me because I'm on this platform, I don't care," she in a podcast.

This comment came like a dart to WWE, where her fellow discipline Mandy Rose was fired, after taking the same initiative as her, on the same digital platform.

In the case of Paige VanZant, the idea of starting this journey came from her own fans, who encouraged her to do so.

Originally, she started charging just over 10 US dollars a month and, today, she is one of the undeniable stars of the platform. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the athlete has a net worth of two million dollars.

Her social media platforms have transformed from UFC content to sharing day-to-day images that could be censored by said social media.
