Lil Tay has now clarified what she meant when she said women over the age of 25 working traditional 9-to-5 jobs were a ‘failure’.The internet personality joined OnlyFans right after turning 18 and claimed she pulled in a million dollars within just three hours. She bragged that she was ‘still the youngest one doing it’ and clapped back at the ‘grown a** haters who’ve been hating since I was nine years old’, questioning how they felt now that she was making huge money.
Back in 2018, Lil Tay went viral for flaunting wealth and showing off expensive items. This time, she backed up her claims by posting receipts of her OnlyFans income. According to her, she made $511,003 from subscriptions, $486,558 through private chats with fans, and $26,736 in tips — all within three hours.
That impressive haul would make her one of the ‘fastest earners’ in the platform’s history.After hitting the million-dollar mark in record time, she went online and criticized women working standard office jobs, saying: “If you’re over the age of 25 and you’re still working a 9 to 5, you are a failure. Like, by then you should’ve already made your bag.”
“And ladies, every single one of you should drop the link, like me. Literally, just make your bag. Who gives a f**k what anybody thinks?”

In an interview with Page Six after her debut on OnlyFans, Lil Tay revealed she earned $15 million in just two weeks. She also explained why she made the remarks about women working 9-to-5 jobs.The 18-year-old insisted she had been ‘misunderstood’ and said her comments were meant to ‘motivate’ women to look for new ways to make money. She pointed out that she now earns ‘more money than most people ever fking touch in their life’.
She also added: “Every woman should be empowered and every woman should do whatever the hell they want to do.”
Of course, if every woman joined OnlyFans, earnings would not be anywhere near the same. Reports show that 76 percent of the platform’s income goes to just 0.1 percent of its creators.Lil Tay brushed that aside, later claiming that ‘people say that money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does’. She revealed that despite once portraying herself online as a cash-flashing child star, she had actually been broke and hadn’t received financial help from her family.
According to her, she was ‘disowned’ and ‘got kicked out’ by her family after they discovered she had joined OnlyFans.
While speaking to Page Six, Lil Tay said she wasn’t worried about ‘creepy’ older men subscribing to her page, noting that people had been looking at photos of her since she was 15 and that she might as well profit from it.She even revealed that one of her ‘top spenders’ once requested she pose with bottles of baby oil, which she hinted was similar to parties thrown by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Given her age, her decision to join the site has sparked heavy criticism. Many online said it was ‘sad as hell’ and questioned ‘what the hell is wrong with people’ that so many rushed to subscribe right after she turned 18.
