People don't get paid a salary like that. If you are a founder or in the right startup with a good compensation package, it can happen.

They did say an order of magnitude more. So $7m a month...

what would they have to do in addition? Maybe: have good business skills, networking skills, be independent, be in the right position to spot the right opportunities at the right time?

The vast majority of OnlyFans models make at most a couple hundred dollars a year.

Those who do grab a spot at the tail end of the power distribution work at it almost literally constantly.

Obviously luck does play a role, but that applies as much to native intelligence as it does to... other assets.

I think it’s much easier to be a high paid technologist than it is to be a high paying model. Both are difficult, no doubt, but there are vastly, if not infinitely many more models who are barely scraping by earning almost nothing.

I knew of one “talent” agency that was trying to get early on the Instagram model phase who had employed no fewer than 100 absolutely stunning girls who each were barely averaging a couple thousand followers. At least as a no name at FAANG I would have a cushy salary.
