OnlyFans star Sophie Rain continues to hit back at critics who have constantly compared her earnings to those of individuals from different professions, with the latest parallel featuring UFC veteran Justin Ray Gaethje. In a recent social media post, users expressed their surprise at the disparity in Gaethje and Rain’s income, prompting the adult content creator to issue an explanation.
Sophie Rain reacts to UFC pay comparison
On March 1, the 21-year-old internet celebrity took to social media to share her views on a comparison between her income from 2025 and the career earnings of UFC’s Justin Gaethje.
Sophie Rain reposted an X (formerly Twitter) post, claiming Gaethje had earned $2.4 million in the entirety of his fighting career, while the OnlyFans creator managed to make $103 million in the previous year alone.
The post also highlighted that his winnings accompanied 15 Fight of the Night (FOTN) bonuses, two lightweight (LW) championships, and 1 BMF championship, while Rain earned her income in 2025 by simply streaming three times a month.
While Rain acknowledged she has been earning an outrageous income, the OnlyFans model argued that it did require her to work hard. “I’m not saying I don’t get paid a ridiculously absurd amount, but to say all I do is ‘3 streams monthly’ when I am legit on my phone posting, engaging, talking to people, making videos every single day without breaks since 2023 is wild,” the Bop House co-founder wrote in her caption.
This is the third time in less than a month that Rain has addressed the criticism surrounding her high pay. In February, she called out a post comparing her income to that of a medical professional by stating, “Hate the game not the player.”
A few days later, Sophie Rain also reacted to an X post that revealed that she makes more in a year than Manchester City forward Erling Haaland. She noted, “If you put a billionaire next to him, would it cause this much outrage.”
