One of the most popular teenage internet celebs Piper Rockelle, who rose to fame on YouTube as a child, has reportedly set up an OnlyFans account.
Throughout December, the 18-year-old had been hinting at the move and finally, at the stroke of midnight on January 1, she shared the link to her page on the subscription-based platform, which is mostly known as a venue for adult content, with her social followers.
Soon after, she uploaded a post to X that seemed to be a screenshot of the money she made on the very first day on the website, stating that she had earned over $2.9 million in just one day.

“my first day! forever grateful,” Piper Rockelle penned the words in a post that looked like a screenshot of over $2.9 million earnings on OnlyFans in just the first day.
One user on X commented on her post saying her earnings implied “we are cooked as a society,” and the 18-year-old actress seemed unbothered. “never in a million years did i expect this to happen, you guys changed my life,” she wrote back.
Rockelle initially became famous almost ten years ago when her mom started uploading videos of her on YouTube. Eventually, she gained millions of followers and started working with a group of teen creators called the “Piper Squad.”
Since 2022, the group was in the spotlight when 11 of the influencers brought a lawsuit against Rockelle’s mom accusing them of nonpayment and “inappropriate, offensive and abusive treatment,” such as “wildly offensive and sexually explicit comments.” The mother of Rockelle denied the allegations publicly. The lawsuit was resolved in October 2024 for nearly $2 million, with each party expressly denying any wrongdoing.

Piper Rockelle and her mother were outed again as the focus of media attention with the release of a Netflix docuseries Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing, which aired in April. The show looked into the allegedly darker side of Rockelle’s very early YouTube success and depicted a number of former “Piper Squad” parents accusing Rockelle’s mom of abusive behavior.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine after the release of the documentary, Rockelle denied the accusations and said some of her ex-collaborators had “extended the truth” about the events.
She explained to the magazine, “I was there. I saw everything daily. I think they’re lying what they’re saying, but I was there and I saw everything.”
Piper Rockelle was in the news again in Feb 2025 when she showed up at the Bop House, a content creation collective mostly known for which producing OnlyFans content. This move was a clear signal of her own rising to the platform.

Piper Rockelle, who was 17 at the time, after her visits to the Bop House as a minor caused a backlash, told PEOPLE she was “so grateful for the opportunity to collab with the Bop House creators.” Later in a May interview with Rolling Stone, she even went so far as to say that she “had the best time of my life.”
On Dec. 16, Rockelle announced in a TikTok that she had become a member of the Bop House.
Her transition to OnlyFans had been the subject of rumors for a long time. In an interview with Teen Vogue that was published on Aug. 21, her 18th birthday, Rockelle said that any decision to join the platform would be totally her own.
“I mean, it’s nobody’s decision but mine,” she responded to the outlet, stating that at the time, she had not made up her mind about whether she would create a profile or not. “So when I get the answer, when I am comfortable enough to talk about it, when I have figured out myself and I know who I am, then it is nobody’s choice. It is just my life and I can decide how to live it.”
