‘Quickly crawled': Wild amount Annie Knight makes per month
Annie Knight has revealed her staggering monthly income after sleeping with over 500 men in a single day. The 27-year-old X-rated content creator told that she's currently bringing in $300,000 monthly, equating to over $3.5 million yearly. However earning this much money is still relatively new to her, and she certainly never imagined making this much. 'When I first started OnlyFans I was making $5000 per month. Then when I got fired for doing OnlyFans, I decided to do it full-time, and I was making $30,000 per month,' she said. Ms Knight, who'd previously worked in marketing, has enjoyed watching her income grow and grow. 'It was May 2023 where I started to make over $100,000 per month and that quickly crawled up to $200,000 per month where I have comfortably sat for the past two years,' she said. Ms Knight said that sharing her plan to have sex with over 500 men in a single day kicked things up another notch financially. Even though the sex stunt ended in her being hospitalised in the days after due to unexpected bleeding that was found to be a symptom of endometriosis, she really started to see her income climb afterwards. 'Since this challenge my earnings have begun to skyrocket, at the moment they're sitting at about $300,000 per month,' she revealed. The 27-year-old has also taken to social media to share that despite the health scare she's keen to attempt another sex challenge. 'Did I get hospitalised for taking 583 guys in six hours? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Do I want to do it again? Also yes,' she admitted. She did add that she wasn't sure what the new challenge would be however she just wanted it to be something 'fun and exciting'. Ms Knight said that despite her huge income, she's been savvy about avoiding owing the Australian Taxation Office. 'I've always had an accountant and have always paid my taxes. I put away a certain percentage of my earnings each pay so that I'm never left struggling to pay my tax,' she told The 27-year-old also owns four properties and has mortgages on three of them. She even purchased her dream home in Queensland for $2.7 million. Even though she's bring in lots of money she doesn't typically splash out on big ticket items but would rather invest and save. 'I am not super crazy with my spending. I've always been into saving and setting myself up for the future,' she said. The best thing about making so much money has been that it has allowed her to help others and do whatever she wants without money stress. 'It's allowed me to live a financially free life and basically do whatever I want whenever I want,' she said. 'It has also allowed me to achieve my dream of owning properties. I'm also very lucky in that I get to provide for my family and friends who are struggling.'
