Surprise new way Aussie reality stars are making millions – and it's not OnlyFans

It seems as though there's serious money to be made here.

Australia's leading reality stars have found a lucrative new way to earn themselves a fortune in a small amount of time, and it has nothing to do with OnlyFans.

As the adult website, Instagram endorsements and podcast market all become oversaturated, making it harder than ever to make big money via these platforms, many former dating show contestants are cashing in by booking national speaking tours.
