American tennis player Sachia Vickery, who made headlines this week over her OnlyFans career, is using the subscription-based content platform to invest in her career in the sport.
Following Thursday’s loss to Germany’s Ella Seidel in the second round of US Open qualifying, Vickery explained that she doesn’t see a negative side to joining OnlyFans “because it’s given me a better life.”
“Yeah, and another part of, you know, the tennis and OnlyFans aspect is… when you’re on tour you’re not automatically making a ton of money,” Vickery, 30, told The Post from Flushing Meadows. “Yes, I have done very well throughout my career. I’ve made great investments from the time I was young, so you know, it’s like I’m fine.
“But at the same time, tennis players spend $100K plus a year on coaching, hotels, food, training, physio. So if I have another avenue where I’m able to make a lot of money to support that, you know, I don’t see anything negative with it, personally.
“It’s an expensive sport, so you know I invest a lot of my money from there back into tennis, and I think that’s one thing people don’t understand. They think it’s, you know, I’m just doing it to do it. It’s a great moneymaker. It’s a great investment. If I have the potential to make a lot of money on there, why am I not going to take it? It’s it’s giving me a better life.”
Vickery, ranked world No. 559, has made a reported $2 million in 14-plus years of pro tennis. She ranked as high as No. 73 in 2018.
She said she missed time after tearing her shoulder earlier this year and had just returned to the court six weeks ago.
Vickery said she is next headed to Mexico to continue restarting her career (the Guadalajara Open is next month).
She made headlines when she opened up about her OnlyFans career in a Q&A on Instagram this week.
“I’m very open-minded and I don’t care what people think of me,” Vickery said. “It’s also the easiest money I’ve ever made and I enjoy doing it.
“I will never talk s–t about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.”
Vickery charges $12.99 a month for “the content too spicy for Instagram,” according to her OnlyFans bio.
She said she got started when she saw how well a friend was doing on the platform.
“I have a really close friend who is a huge creator on there,” she told The Post. “I saw he was doing really well, he’s obviously at a different level than I am…. It’s a fun way where I get to be myself a little bit.”
The Florida native also charges $1,000 to date her.
“I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me $1,000 and we can make it happen,” she told her 40,000 Instagram followers, adding her CashApp information.
Vickery also failed to qualify for the Australian Open in January,
