But other than owning her beloved Porsche, she prefers to get her groceries at budget supermarkets like Aldi and snap up pre-loved clothes.
The trans OnlyFans star, 29, said: "I'm pretty modest with my spending.
'I shop at Aldi and Goodwill – and I absolutely love a good sale.
'I don't wear designer clothes either, I'll just buy basic jeans and shirts from the mall.
'I was brought up in a humble home.
'My mum was always shopping through bins at Goodwill and my family never cared about 'status'."
Lana, who has 76,000 followers on Instagram (@lanabananaonly), added: "We weren't trying to impress the neighbours.
'This approach to money is rooted in who I am to my core.
'The more cash I started earning, the more I felt that I didn't want fake, artificial joy or a mountain of things I don't need or won't use – just because people expect rich people to have it.'
The adult star grew up in a Catholic household in a small Texas town.

But she now splits her time between New York and Miami and has ditched her costly townhouse after realising that she had no need for excessive space, a private pool or outdoor kitchen.
She now rents two homes and prefers to save money for her future.
Lana said: 'A lot of girls in this industry want the biggest house on the block.
'But I honestly don't care about that.
'I'd rather live somewhere small and calm than have rooms I never use.
"Just because I make good money doesn't mean I need a mansion or a staff.
'I still do my own washing and take the bins out.
"Some people want the influencer lifestyle – the glam squad, the penthouse, the parties, but that's never been me.
'I'm a millionaire but I want a simple life.
"I like nice things, but I don't need 10 versions of them.
"I still get excited over a thrift find – that hasn't changed.
"I grew up upper middle class, but I don't take anything for granted.
"At the end of the day, I just want a quiet, normal life – even if it looks different on the outside.'

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is coming... and I've found exactly what Miranda Priestly is wearing
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more 'By all means move at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me,' is my favourite movie quote. It's from The Devil Wears Prada and is uttered by Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of the fictional Runway magazine, to her long-suffering assistant Andy Sachs. And now, 19 years after the release of the original, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is being filmed in New York. Fashion fans are being treated to a stream of paparazzi pics and social media reels posted by fans who seem to have endless hours on their hands to follow the cast and crew around and document every scene on their iPhones. Don't these people have jobs? Andy (played by Anne Hathaway) still looks stressed, Miranda (Meryl Streep) still looks terrifying, and although almost two decades have passed, time seems to have stood still for this pair. That said, I do want to have a moan about the constant spoiling of scenes from unreleased film and TV projects these days. When And Just Like That… started shooting its first series in New York, the wardrobe department told me they found it frustrating that the actors' costumes were being endlessly trashed before anything had been seen in context on TV. It's annoying that I already know what Hathaway and Streep wear in the movie a year ahead of its release date – ruining the big reveal – but as this knowledge is out there, I thought I'd share what I've learnt so far. Andy Sachs (below) is no longer dressing like a fashion victim who raided the Runway cupboard. She has developed her own cool-girl style, favouring labels like Toteme and Phoebe Philo, plus a vintage pinstripe suit by Jean Paul Gaultier. Miranda is less high fashion this time and instead opts for power dressing. She has been seen (below) in a pair of ruby-red slingback heels from Jacquemus, a beige, single-breasted Sa Su Phi coat, navy trousers, a ribbed white blouse with a Mark Cross clutch bag and Briony Raymond jewellery. Polished and still in charge is obviously Miranda's sequel look. I can't wait to see more on screen. @youmagazine IN THE JEANS The holy grail of denims? Levi's has just released this new low-rise, wide-legged pair – and they look pretty perfect to me. Jeans SHELL OUT The cool crowd are wearing beads and shells right now, and no one does summer holiday jewellery like Anni Lu. This necklace is from the Ocean Treasure collection. SPOTTED Rosie Huntington-Whiteley must take a lot of luggage on holidays. Attending her brother's wedding in Paris, then sailing in Italy with her family, the model is busy serving up some extremely glam attire. Here she is (right) wearing a Saint Laurent suit while at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera.

My girlfriend is a secret OnlyFans creator – she says she only offers a ‘girlfriend experience' but I'm furious
Every Saturday read our new, even racier, Dear Deidre advice column only in Sun Club... DEIDRE AFTER DARK My girlfriend is a secret OnlyFans creator – she says she only offers a 'girlfriend experience' but I'm furious Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) 1 DEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend has shown me her OnlyFans account - to reassure me - but it's left me feeling even more unsettled. I knew something was up when I got home from work early one day and she shut down her laptop in such haste. She tried to dismiss me saying it was just some ugly photos of her but I insisted on finding out the truth and asked her to show me. Reluctantly she re-opened her laptop to reveal she'd just been interacting with one of her subscribers. As if it made it all okay she then showed me her content. Proclaiming 'It's so tame. I only do the girlfriend experience.' And it's true she wasn't stripping off or anything but to say there was no intimacy would be completely wrong. While she wasn't sending nudes or overtly sexual messages, all the interactions were deeply personal. She was sharing personal details - with me her real life boyfriend who'd completely erased from the scene. She's 28 and I'm 30 and we've been together for a year, during which time she told me she was an English tutor - hence why she needed a decent set up for her online classes. From reading some of the conversations, it looks like some of these men really believe they have a romantic connection with her. Dear Deidre: Spotting the signs your partner is cheating She doesn't just provide written messages, it's voice notes, videos, and sometimes even live interactions. It's creepy and sinister and apart from anything I worry about her safety - but she insists she never reveals any geography - so she is safe. She has told me to stop being so silly and says it's an easy way to make good money. She's admitted she's been doing this for five months and she says I need to 'suck it up' because she has no intention of putting a stop to it. DEIDRE SAYS: Your worries are legitimate. Even if 'the girlfriend experience' was genuinely harmless, she has not been honest with you about this work. You can't have a healthy relationship based on deceit. Added to which, now that you do know and have expressed your concerns, she's dismissing and belittling you. There is no apology or willingness to change, compromise or make amends. I'm afraid if she remains unbending, you have no choice but to leave this relationship. It's that or become completely downtrodden and unseen. And that's before I get on to the reality of 'the girlfriend experience' because many OnlyFans creators start on this level but quickly get drawn into making harder content. Subscribers might be happy with messages to begin with, but inevitably if they're going to keep paying, they start to ask for more. Your girlfriend is clearly enjoying the extra income but seems to be blind to the real cost - her real relationship. My support packs Looking After Your Relationship and Ending A Relationship will help you think about what is best for you. Dear Deidre's OnlyFans Files Deidre's mailbag is bursting with OnlyFans problems. One reader went off real life sex after signing up to OnlyFans; another from a different subscriber who struggled with the guilt even after a self-imposed ban, while one woman who created her account in secret. OnlyFans - The Reality It's easy to understand the attraction of becoming an OnlyFans star; unlike the rest of the sex industry it seems performers can control their work, their image, their destiny. Then there's the money, which can be undeniably good. Of course, lots of women who chose this way of life will talk about female empowerment, and I'd agree that anyone has the right to make their own choices, however there are some harsh realities that this narrative skims over. The truth is no one who makes OnlyFans content can retain control. Once it is published or shared, it's susceptible to being screen grabbed, recorded and posted to other adult sites. There is simply no way to stop this. The people paying for sexual gratification can develop a sense of entitlement over you. Some may even feel they own a piece of you. In their eyes you are a product. I have received several emails from troubled men who have become obsessed with OnlyFans stars, convinced their business transactions are in fact the basis of a relationship. There are people who research the public and private details of OnlyFans creators (called doxing) and then publish their findings making women extremely vulnerable. Former content creators admit that while they start off with their own boundaries, the pressure to keep their subs (subscribers) willing to pay, pushes them to engage in extreme acts they previously would not have considered. Once those videos and images are out there, there is no turning back time. So it's worth considering how in the future neighbours, children or partners may react. And finally, the money might be good, but I'm not sure that losing your family or security and privacy is a worthwhile price to pay. If you have a worry you can email my team of counsellors on deardeidre@ By Sally Land, The Sun's Agony Aunt.
