A social media star pulled in more than $1 million in her first hour on OnlyFans on New Year’s Day — a move that disturbed a number of people on social media because it came just months after she turned 18.

Piper Rockelle is a YouTube sensation who rocketed to fame on the Google-owned platform, where she now has more than 12 million subscribers, despite not having posted a new video in a year. She described her channel as being dedicated to “entertainment, quality, family, fun, love, and good vibes” — it included teen-friendly content like do-it-yourself videos and makeup tutorials.

But she is now earning big bucks on the platform synonymous with adult content.

“We broke the record!!! $1,000,000 in less than an hour,” Rockelle celebrated on X. “You guys are the best thank you for changing my life.”

$1 million is actually underselling it — Rockelle made $1.26 million according to her screenshot. Most of that came from subscriptions — about $900K — while nearly $300K came from messages, and another $63,000 came from tips. She netted more than a $1 million after OnlyFans took its cut.

“Everyone told me not to do this but here we are… time to take it ALL OFF for you bbys 💖,” Rockelle said in her OnlyFans bio.

Mediaite did not want to pay to see what content was on her OF, but according to a Grok summary, it offers “suggestive and exclusive content aimed at monetizing her fanbase, but not explicit nudity on the main feed.” There are 6 posts on her OF account.

Rockelle had been teasing her OnlyFans debut on social media recently, including a video of her in a skin-colored bathing suit on Instagram.

Many of the commenters appeared to dread her OF turn, though.

Here is a look at some of the comments she received on the post:

• Never wouldve thought shed take this path😭
• As someone who watched you when I was little this is sad. ur gonna ruin ur life. And future. Take care
• Piper what have you done with piper 💔
• My child hood.💔

Many X users seemed to be equally uncomfortable with Rockelle joining OnlyFans so soon after she legally became an adult. Rockelle’s 18th birthday was on August 21, 2025.

You get the idea.
