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.

Last month, Love Island Australia's Anna McEvoy and Matthew Zukowski took their pod Where's Your Head At? to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to celebrate hitting two million downloads.

The three-date tour generated approximately $100,000 in ticket sales after being attended by 1,650 total fans.

Yahoo Lifestyle understands more and more reality stars – and broadcasters – are set to tap into the speaking tour market in the future.
