One Masterchef US star went from earning hardly anything working as a chef to raking in tens of thousands on an adult subscription site.
Paige Jiminez was the youngest contestant ever on the show at just 17, and worked closely with stars like Gordon Ramsay before being eliminated in a brutal twist, placing 19th in season eight.
But now, Paige has turned her attention to OnlyFans and revealed her earnings exclusively to Daily Star.

She explained: “Chefs don’t make sh**. I think I was making, like, $20 (£15.60) an hour. Obviously I did a few collaborations here and there, but they never really paid that much.
“From OnlyFans, during the span from April to – I actually looked last night – I showed my boyfriend, I was like, ‘See, this is why I do it’. I made $32,000 (£26,000) since April. I made sure to keep the momentum up.”
But Paige has a strict list of rules that she makes sure to follow when she’s working – and one of them is an absolute ban on girl/girl videos.
She revealed: “When I first started doing it, I made a list of rules, of situations that would potentially make me regret it. I want to make sure my kids in the future don’t see certain content.
“So I listed things that I am willing to do and at what price, and then a list of complete no’s that I don’t feel comfortable with, wouldn’t feel proud of myself for.
“I would never do girl-on-girl videos. I try and stay away from the sexual videos entirely, to be honest. Content that I put out, people could potentially save it, put it on Reddit… I’m very protective of other people.
“I don’t want someone years from now saying, ‘That video we did, it blew up and now I’m married and trying to get a job’. I don’t want to feel bad for that.”

But fans can expect plenty of saucy content from Paige’s account, as she vowed: “I am pretty open. If someone wants to FaceTime and have a cheeky interaction for five minutes, that’s fine with me.”
She’s made it clear that OnlyFans isn’t the be all and end all, though, vowing: “Not to rain on my parade, but I’m f***ing smart. I could get a real job, I don’t need this.
“But it is nice money and it allows me to pursue cooking more when I couldn’t really afford anything as a full time chef.”
Now Paige is helping her boyfriend Leandre Sanders with his new Netflix documentary Skategoat, starring Tony Hawk.
