'Honey Boo Boo' star Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon has revealed the staggering amount she made from OnlyFans in a single day.
The 26-year-old, who is a mom of four, joined the platform in March and initially charged subscribers $25.99 per month.
The reality TV star announced her arrival on Instagram by offering an introductory deal to her first subscribers.
"I just joined the blue spicy app 🫣💕😘. Link in my bio. First 20 people get 10% off the first month," she wrote. In another post, she told followers: "Click the link in my bio & join the spicy side of me. First 20 people get a freebie 😘💕."
Explaining why she decided to join, Pumpkin told TMZ that she had watched friends make "pretty good money" from the platform. "The world has seen t**s and a** from everyone," she added.
Her decision produced almost immediate results.
Appearing with Towanda Robinson on the TMZ Podcast, Pumpkin said she cleared more than $10,000 on her very first day.
She previously claimed she had made nearly six figures within her first two weeks on the platform.
Pumpkin's earnings have apparently continued climbing since those first weeks.
She revealed that just last week she enjoyed her biggest day on the app yet, claiming she brought in between $14,000 and $15,000 in a single day.
Pumpkin described her success on the platform as a "huge deal" and said she has been humbled by the response.
She also credited OnlyFans with providing opportunities and financial stability for her family, and says she has no plans to walk away from the platform anytime soon.
Pumpkin says her family has been closely involved and supportive of her new venture.
Her younger sister, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, has publicly backed the move, with Pumpkin summing up her sister's attitude as: "Get your bag."
Mama June has also supported her daughter's decision, although Pumpkin said her mother's biggest concern is making sure she is being properly paid for the content she sells.
June previously told TMZ that she wasn't judging Pumpkin's career choice, but warned that "all money ain't good money."
She also expressed concern about the digital footprint the content could leave for Pumpkin's children.
Pumpkin shares Ella, Bentley, and twins Sylus and Stella with her ex-husband, Josh Efird. The pair split in July 2024 and finalized their divorce a few months later.
"With me and Josh being split now, we do 50/50 custody. So I have them one week and then he has them the other week," Pumpkin previously told People. "So usually on the weeks I don’t have the kids is usually when I run around and do all my errands, kind of feel normal."
Following her split from Efird, Pumpkin began dating his cousin, Darrin Kitchens, publicly debuting their romance on Facebook in August 2024.
Kitchens has supported Pumpkin's OnlyFans career, and the couple has since created explicit content together for the platform.
Pumpkin has also ventured into another form of adult entertainment, working the pole during an appearance at Diamonds & Lace in Chattanooga last month as cash flew around the stage.
