Lamar Odom turned his latest career move into a surprisingly lucrative venture within days. The former Los Angeles Lakers star reportedly earned more than $50,000 during his first eight days on OnlyFans.
The two-time NBA champion charged subscribers $14.99 monthly for exclusive photos and videos. His early earnings also put him on track to collect more than $200,000, according to reports.

Sources told TMZ that Odom generated over $50,000 during his first eight days on the subscription platform. The outlet also reported that his growing subscriber base could push his earnings beyond $200,000.
Odom discussed the response with Page Six, calling his launch an encouraging start. “The response to my OnlyFans has been incredible,” he said in a statement. He also revealed ambitions beyond his own account, adding, “I’m connecting with fans in a whole new way, building something big, and now I’m looking to bring other athletes along for the ride.”
“There’s a real opportunity here, and I’m just getting started,” he continued.
The 47-year-old announced his venture last month, becoming the first NBA star to join OnlyFans. His profile promised a more personal and playful side. It invited fans to discover the man beyond basketball and television.
“I’ve lived a pretty wild life, and trust me, there are still a few surprises left,” Odom previously told TMZ. He also teased content that included nude photos. Meanwhile, he considered creating content with girlfriend Rachel Bradley, who launched her own account.
The business move marked another chapter for an athlete who reportedly earned $110 million in NBA salary alone, according to Forbes. However, his finances took a difficult turn after his near-fatal 2015 overdose. Odom eventually pawned his 2009 and 2010 Lakers championship rings to help cover mounting medical bills.
In 2022, he revealed that the fan who purchased the rings returned them without charge. More recently, Odom told Page Six in March that he had nearly two months of sobriety from alcohol and marijuana. His latest venture now appeared to offer a fresh income stream, alongside plans to bring fellow athletes aboard.
