This OnlyFans Model Says She's Being 'Punished' by Having To Pay $600K in Income Taxes

news.com.au — There’s nothing quite like a tax bill to make someone question the whole system, and Annie Knight feels punished by a $600,000 bill. 

Ms Knight, 26, is a well-known OnlyFans creator who sells explicit images of herself online, and she makes a lot of money doing so. 

In late 2023, she revealed she was earning around $150,000 a month from her spicy business. When people accused her of lying about such a huge income, she shut them up with screenshots of her earnings. 

For instance, in September 2023, she earned $104,000 USD. 

Considering how much she brings home she figured she’d be lumped with a pretty significant tax bill and had been putting aside 50 per cent of her income all year, because her massive earnings put her in the highest tax bracket. 

“I put away 50 per cent of my earnings into a separate account for tax, and then when tax time rolls around, if I have extra money in there, I just transfer it back to myself and pay the tax bill,” she told news.com.au. 

Of course, getting stung with a $600,000 tax bill is hard for anyone to swallow, even if you’re making millions. 

“It sucks that I could literally buy a house with that money, but also, I get we all have to pay our taxes,” she said. 

“I just wish we didn’t get punished for earning more money than other people. I think the highest tax bracket should be 30 per cent for individuals.”

Everyone please take a moment and pour one out for all the OnlyFans creators who made seven figures this past year and now have to pay their income taxes. Death comes for us all, I suppose.

And look, far be it from me to ever be the guy defending income taxes. I actually think Mrs. Knight's idea of a 30 percent individual income tax cap is a quite reasonable compromise as long as the government's legalized theft of our labor is to continue. If the OnlyFans girls want to be the ones leading tax reform, I will march alongside them in the picket line.

But at the same time, if you're paying $600K in taxes, you had a pretty great year — particularly doing a job that I'm going to go out on a limb and guess doesn't require 40 hours a week. I can certainly empathize with Annie's vision of a world where we actually get to keep all the money we earn, though. What a beautiful place that would be.

Until that fantasy comes to pass, however, we're all going to get fucked every paycheck — even if that's not how you earned the paycheck.
