YouTube child star 'breaks record' with insane OnlyFans earnings in first day since turning 18
Another former child star is making it big on OnlyFans, with one young woman claiming she's broken the platform's previous one-day earnings record just months after she celebrated her 18th birthday.
If you want to feel old, you only have to look at how we've seen the Stranger Things kids age into adults, or what about MrBeast's video from a decade ago to his future self?
Many of those young YouTube stars you grew up with are now adults, and among them is Piper Rockelle. Having overtaken TikTok (back when it was Musical.ly), Rockelle then filmed for the Dance Twins Lifetime YouTube series, was a member of "Piper's Squad", and had her dramatic falling out with her mother dramatized for Netflix's Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Influencing.
Rockelle's latest venture has seen her move to OnlyFans, and while she's not quite as famous as Bonnie Blue on the adult subscription scene, she's apparently shattered records.

Before Rockelle turned 18 in August 2025, she'd been posting about opening an OnlyFans. Prior to this, she'd already teamed up with OnlyFans star Sophie Rain to film TikTok videos with the Bop House collective, as well as launching a 'parent-managed' account on the OnlyFans-esque BrandArmy.
Like when fellow child star Lil Tay claimed she broke the internet with her OnlyFans earnings, Rockelle has posted some impressive earnings from her first day on the platform.
Writing on X, Rockelle maintained that she earned $2.3 million in her first days as an OnlyFans creator. This comes after she said she shattered $1 million in a matter of hours, and if true, these are some serious earnings.
In a post that has since been removed, Rockelle shared the $1 million balance and wrote: "You guys are the best, thank you for changing my life."
Some have accused her of faking her earnings by Photoshopping the image, and among her critics, fellow content creator Jameliz Smith wasn't convinced. Notably, the original post appeared to have a dollar sign after the $239,769.03 income.
In an Instagram video, Smith said: "Hey Piper, I know you’re following the footsteps of your homegirl Sophie Rain, faking statements and whatnot, but unfortunately for you, her photoshop was just a little bit better. If you look right here, at the end of the message’s revenue, you left the dollar sign off.
"I know, it’s a rookie mistake, but you know what? I think you should ask her to help you next time, since she has a lot of experience in doing sh*t like this. Good luck, you two!”
Rockelle has since made numerous other posts claiming she made $2.3 million in her first 24 hours, but again, there are skeptics.
The young creator doesn't seem to be letting this bother her, resharing the screenshot and writing: "Don’t hate the player… hate the game 🤷🏻♀️."
Replying to her posts with a mix of support and criticism, one person said: "This is way better than putting fries in a bag congrats on the success :)."
Another added: "Broke a** couldn't afford an editor..and you really are posting this everyone knows its a fake photo"
A third concluded: "Most men are tools for making her rich 😆."
Even though some remain unconvinced by Rockelle’s bank balance, she’s continuing to promote her latest pivot.
