A 41-year-old account manager from Auckland is gaining attention after announcing she is leaving her corporate career to join OnlyFans. Zilda Williams says that even with a six-figure income, the rising cost of living has made it difficult to manage her mortgage and expenses on her own.

She has enjoyed the stability of her office job, but admits it no longer provides the financial security she needs. With no partner to share bills, she began searching for new ways to increase her income. When she noticed former modeling friends buying property and luxury cars through OnlyFans earnings, she decided to give the platform a try.

Zilda is no stranger to the camera. In her 20s, she modeled for well-known men’s magazines before choosing a corporate path. Now, she plans to create tasteful, non-explicit content and says she has nothing to be embarrassed about.

She also feels more confident than ever. She credits exercise, healthy habits, and a stronger sense of self. After launching her page in June, she was surprised by how quickly people subscribed. Messages came from fans of all ages, including some women, which she found encouraging.

Friends and family have warned her about the risks to her reputation, but Zilda says she is focused on paying off her mortgage and eventually starting her own business. She believes the potential reward outweighs the concern.

Not everyone has had a positive experience, though. A former Missouri teacher who turned to OnlyFans later admitted she regretted the decision, saying the stigma cost her the career she loved.
