Piper Rockelle continues to go in a very different direction, and having found her fame as the head of "Piper's Squad" on YouTube, she's since pivoted to OnlyFans, with claims that she's making bank from her new career path.
Having previously drummed up controversy as the focus of Netflix's Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Influencing, Rockelle has continued to generate buzz after claiming she broke records for her first day of OnlyFans earnings.
Like fellow internet star Lil Tay, who was accused of 'faking' her OnlyFans earnings, some have claimed Rockelle is fudging the numbers. Still, she's faced an unfair amount of backlash and has spoken out against her haters.
After claiming she earned $3.4 million in a single day, Rockelle has once again left jaws on the floor by revealing what she was offered for a single photograph on the adult paid subscription service.

Speaking to ABC News, Rockelle claimed she's been given a ridiculous sum simply for sharing a photo.
When asked, "What's the most you've been offered for the least you've done,” a candid Rockelle replied: "Do you want me to be honest? Probably just like a foot pic. Like, it'll be like $3,000 just to see a foot."
In a world where Bonnie Blue is breaking records for sex acts and for OnlyFans earnings (before she was removed from the platform), Rockelle's supposed earnings aren't that surprising.
Referring to her as the 'golden girl' of kid influencers, the interview continued to ask why she moved from the world of YouTube to OnlyFans.
Addressing a lawsuit where former members of "Piper's Squad" sought $22 million from her mother, video editor Hunter Hill, and Piper Rockelle Inc. amid allegations of emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual abuse, Rockelle said: "I’m just going to say I have never witnessed anything and I have never went through that. And I was always with my mom, and I love my mom, and I'm never going to speak for them. And I wish that they could have been kind enough to never speak for me."
The lawsuit was eventually settled for $1.84 million in 2024, although ABC News notes that Rockelle and her mother were supposedly making up to $400,000 a month from "Piper's Squad" at the time.
Rockelle says that as soon as she turned 18, she thought about where she wanted her life to go next and decided being a singer or an actor wasn't for her.
She said, "I'm never going to have a good reputation, I'm never going to have a clean slate," but added that she doesn't want a 'clean slate' anyway.
Pressed on whether it troubles her that a large majority of her followers on OnlyFans appear to be older men, the 18-year-old Rockelle said that she tried not to think about it too much. While her OnlyFans has no nudity, Rockelle admitted that this is a direction she could see her platform going in, concluding: "I just started. It's literally only been a month. I love to show my body and I show my body on Instagram. If I show that much on Instagram, I'm obviously doing more on Only Fans."
For now, she's focused on personalised chatting with people, saying that she mainly caters to 'lonely' people: "I don't care who they are, but I care for them as an individual. And I just I want to make them more happy."
Either way, it seems Rockelle is more than happy to leave her YouTube days of "Piper's Squad" behind her.
