OnlyFans' Annie Knight Reveals How Much She Spent to Host Event Where She Slept With 583 Men
'I want to talk about the cost of the event. People don't realize it's actually so expensive to do something like this,' Knight, 28, said on a recent episode of her 'Annie Knight Unhinged' podcast. 'Basically, I obviously had to pay for the videographer, assistants, photographer, security, the venue hire. I paid for the condoms, balaclavas … the wristbands.'
Knight noted that the amount totaled to $10,000 — but she wasn't worried about investing her own money into the event.
'583 guys, imagine all the videos I'm going to be able to release. I will make that money back ten-fold. Hopefully more,' Knight claimed, noting that the rules of the platform don't allow her to sell one video with all the men.

Days after the challenge, Knight — who is engaged to Henry Brayshaw — reflected on breaking her own record of sleeping with more than 500 men. (OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue currently claims to hold the world record of sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours.)
'Doing 583 in a day is quite a lot, so I was a little bit worried that I was gonna really struggle with it, because the most I've done before that was 24 in a day,' Knight exclusively told Us Weekly this month. 'But it was honestly fine. I was shocked by how easy it was.'
Following the event, Knight shared that she had been hospitalized. The Australian OnlyFans creator told Us that she underwent blood tests and further medical testing.
'I'm not doing very well, I've been bleeding a lot since the challenge,' Knight told Us. 'It was definitely a bit raw down there and I did get a small cut.'

Knight explained that she felt 'exhausted' from organizing the stunt while simultaneously purchasing her 'dream house,' and her body 'just hit a wall.' Knight, who suffers from endometriosis, says her condition became 'worse' and noted that 'hormonal imbalances can cause irregular and heavy periods' — which is what she has been 'dealing with since' the event.
'The prognosis is good, and it looks like I'm going to have to take a week off, try and relax a little bit, sit out in the sun, just take it easy for a little while,' Knight said. 'But I'll definitely be OK. I'm not letting this slow me down.'

Gladys Knight speaks out after son accuses her husband of elder abuse
Soul legend Gladys Knight has broken her silence after her son publicly accused her husband of elder abuse. The 'Midnight Train to Georgia' singer, 81, assured fans she's 'healthy and happy' after her son Shanga Hankerson claimed that Knight's husband William McDowell — who is 33 years her junior — has been mentally and financially taking advantage of her. 'I don't want my mom out on tour on a tour bus wondering where she's at,' Hankerson recently told The Shade Room, saying his mother's tour schedule — which is set to resume in September — is 'detrimental' to her health. 6 Soul legend Gladys Knight has broken her silence after her son publicly accused her husband of elder abuse. WireImage Knight has since responded to her son's claims, telling People in a statement that her 'health and performances have been misrepresented.' 'I want my fans and those concerned to rest assured I am doing very well for someone who has been on stage for three quarters of a century, hard to believe, right?' she told the outlet. 'I'm healthy and happy and visiting friends and family these last few months. I'm excited to get back on the road with my sisters and on stage with The Queens Tour. See you soon.' Following his allegations, Hankerson said he has filed a complaint with North Carolina's Department of Human Services. The Post has reached out to the department and Knight's reps for further comment. 6 Shanga Hankerson said his mother's tour schedule is 'detrimental' to her health.

Getty Images for BET During an appearance on Good Morning America last week, McDowell, 48, said he will not be weighing in on the discourse after Hankerson claimed that his mother is touring at her husband's insistence. While he admitted that his mother has never expressed a desire to quit performing, Hankerson alleged that his mother is currently 'on cruise control.' 'I did my best to give [McDowell] the space to play the role of husband and do what was in my mom's best interest, and he has not done that,' he told People. 'Why is she working? Why is she in this situation where she's being made to believe that she has to work like this? That's really my issue with it.' 6 'I don't want my mom out on tour on a tour bus wondering where she's at,' Hankerson said.

DouYu International Holdings Limited Reports Second Quarter 2025 Unaudited Financial Results
WUHAN, China, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DouYu International Holdings Limited ('DouYu' or the 'Company') (Nasdaq: DOYU), a leading game-centric live streaming platform in China and a pioneer in the eSports value chain, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Ms. Simin Ren, Co-Chief Executive Officer of DouYu, commented, 'Against the backdrop of a volatile macro environment and intensifying industry competition, we remained focused on advancing our revenue diversification and cost efficiency strategies. During the quarter, we continued to optimize our live-streaming business, while also advancing monetization of our innovative business lines through expanded industry collaborations and upgraded promotion strategies. Seasonal promotions drove a 24.5% quarter-over-quarter increase in revenue from our Innovative business, advertising and others segment, underscoring our strong execution. Looking ahead, we will continue to enhance user experience and optimize cost efficiency as we navigate the evolving macro conditions. We remain dedicated to offering premium products such as gaming tournaments and entertainment events, while ensuring the sustainable development of our platform and content ecosystem.' Mr. Hao Cao, Vice President of DouYu, commented, 'In the second quarter, our game membership program and voice-based social networking business continued to demonstrate healthy momentum, further diversifying our revenue structure. Revenues from Innovative businesses, advertising and others rose to RMB476.1 million and accounted for 45.2% of total revenue, compared with 23.4% in the same period last year. In addition, total revenue for the quarter grew 2.1% year-over-year to RMB1.05 billion. Our effective cost efficiency initiatives also drove a return to profitability for the quarter, with gross margin expanding to 13.5%. Net profit reached RMB37.8 million and adjusted net profit was RMB25.3 million, marking a meaningful turnaround. While we expect the livestreaming industry to grow more complex and volatile in the second half of the year, we are well prepared and will continue executing our strategies with discipline and consistency to address the challenges ahead.' Second Quarter 2025 Operational Highlights In the second quarter, average mobile MAUs[2] of our livestreaming-related business were 36.4 million, down 11.4% year-over-year, which aligns with our content cost optimization strategy. This decline was largely due to fewer official tournament broadcasts and a reduction in related derivative content offerings on the platform. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results Total net revenues in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 2.1% to RMB1053.9 million (US$147.1 million), compared with RMB1,032.0 million in the same period of 2024. Livestreaming revenues in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 26.9% to RMB577.8 million (US$80.7 million) from RMB790.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in both the number of total paying users and average revenue per paying user, as a result of fewer low-ROI operating activities and content offered in the quarter and continued moderation in the operating environment. Innovative business, advertising and other revenues (formerly known as advertising and other revenues) in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 96.8% to RMB476.1 million (US$66.5 million) from RMB242.0 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from our voice-based social networking service and game membership service. Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 3.8% to RMB912.0 million (US$127.3 million) from RMB947.8 million in the same period of 2024. Revenue-sharing fees and content costs in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 9.5% to RMB727.3 million (US$101.5 million) from RMB803.4 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a significant reduction in content costs as part of our cost structure optimization efforts, as well as a decrease in revenue-sharing fees due to lower livestreaming revenues. The decrease was partially offset by increased revenue-sharing fees related to revenue growth in our voice-based social networking service. Bandwidth costs in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 38.9% to RMB48.6 million (US$6.8 million) from RMB79.6 million in the same period of 2024. The decline was primarily due to our bandwidth allocation advancement and a year-over-year decrease in peak bandwidth usage. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 68.5% to RMB141.9 million (US$19.8 million) from RMB84.2 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by decreases in our content costs and bandwidth costs. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2025 was 13.5%, compared with 8.2% in the same period of 2024. Sales and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 20.0% to RMB61.6 million (US$8.6 million) from RMB77.0 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to reductions in staff-related and promotion-related expenses. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 44.9% to RMB27.6 million (US$3.9 million) from RMB50.1 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in staff-related expenses. General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2025 decreased by 17.9% to RMB39.8 million (US$5.6 million) from RMB48.5 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to reductions in staff-related expenses and professional fees. Income from operations in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million), compared with a loss from operations of RMB119.6 million in the same period of 2024. Net income in the second quarter of 2025 was RMB37.8 million (US$5.3 million), compared with a net loss of RMB49.2 million in the same period of 2024. Adjusted net income (non-GAAP), which excludes net income excluding share of loss in equity method investments and impairment losses and fair value adjustments on investments, was RMB25.3 million (US$3.5 million) in the second quarter of 2025, compared with an adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) of RMB45.5 million in the same period of 2024. Basic and diluted net income per ADS[5] in the second quarter of 2025 were both RMB1.25 (US$0.17). Adjusted basic and diluted net income per ADS (non-GAAP) in the second quarter of 2025 were both RMB0.84 (US$0.12). Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and bank deposits As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted cash in other non-current assets, and short-term and long-term bank deposits of RMB2,311.2 million (US$322.6 million), compared with RMB4,467.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a special cash dividend distribution of US$300 million in February 2025.
