Even after spending more than four years behind bars, a drug-addicted criminal has turned his life around. But now, he’s earning almost $1 million (about £540,000) a year from his OnlyFans page.

A year ago, Dale Egan borrowed money to buy petrol, but today he is among Australia’s top 0.2% OnlyFans creators.

According to Daily Mail Australia, the 31-year-old revealed that trying to make ends meet led him to fit into the wrong crowd, ultimately turning to crime and drugs.

I went through many hurts, and I was in a deep, dark black hole. Anytime I was experiencing emotional pain, I would act out.

“My depression combined with my drug use just smashed my brain.”

Dale says he fell into the wrong crowd with crime and drugs, eventually ending his imprisonment.

In 2015, he was arrested for home invasion and sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.

Dale struggled to make ends meet after leaving prison and had to borrow money for food and rent for months.

Dale After Joining OnlyFans

After joining OnlyFans with no following, he became an adult entertainer.

Following similar people in the industry, Dale gained the support of other girls on the platform.

Then he decided to join TikTok, where he posted opening sequences of ‘role-play’ videos to his OnlyFans account, and his popularity skyrocketed.

He makes five figures a month from the subscription site and is not afraid to splash the cash.

“I’m thankful every single day,” Dale said. I just bought a new ute and jet ski, and I live in a five-bedroom house by myself.”

Despite admitting his career makes him not “desirable” to date.

The Mail reported that his work is “not the easiest thing to accept.”
