Key points
- Mia Bailey earned A$25,000 in her first three days on OnlyFans and quit her corporate job.
- The Stan reality show Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money follows top 1% OnlyFans creators on the Gold Coast.
- The show explores modern sex work without moralising, allowing creators to tell their own stories.
A new reality show on Stan, Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money, follows a group of top-earning OnlyFans creators based on the Gold Coast. The show, launched earlier this year, focuses on adult content creators represented by one agency who earn enough to rank among the top 1% of users on the platform.
One cast member, Mia Bailey, made A$25,000 in her first three days on OnlyFans, quit her corporate job the next Monday, and began earning $800,000 a year. The show also features identical twins April and Amelia Maddison, who earn around $3m for two days of work a week, and agency founder Quinn Everly, whose doctor husband quit his job to work for her.
Cast and agency dynamics
The cast includes Ruby Drew and Chloe Mira, who worked in strip clubs before moving online. Quinn's younger sister Hayley Summers is also represented but earns less because she prefers solo content and does not want to have sex on camera.
A major conflict erupts at the end of the first episode when Mia leaves the agency and begins associating with Annie Knight and Lily Phillips, known as 'stunt girls' for controversial feats such as sleeping with hundreds of men in a day on camera. The season then follows the split between Mia and her former agency friends, as well as a larger battle between the agency girls and the stunt girls.

Drama and real-life impact
The show features typical reality TV drama, including thrown drinks and ended friendships. However, it also provides an engrossing look at modern sex work, covering the mechanics of OnlyFans success and its broader consequences.
Viewers see Mia's estrangement from her family, Annie's potential stalker and neighbours who want her off the street, and Hayley's search for love among men who treat her as a novelty. Hayley also says the job changed her life for the better in many ways. The show does not moralise, and the reviewer calls it revolutionary for letting sex workers tell their own story.
