"Mitcham reportedly told the Associated Press in 2024 that on OnlyFans he was earning "triple" what he earned as a top athlete. Plus, he has full control over the content he posts. "I won't be doing any sex acts or full frontal nudity for the foreseeable future," his bio on the platform continues. Sure, he's showing body-ody-ody, but it's all very much SFW. "My philosophy has always been that if I can defend it as art then I'll share it," he says."
"People just consider it a not safe for work platform, you know, an explicit sex platform. That was out of my control," says Brisbane-born Mitcham, calling on Zoom from his home in London, where he moved seven years ago. "Sadly, I don't think it's right, but there are people in the world who look down upon it. I had to kind of think, well, some people might assume that I'm doing this not safe for work content, and how do I feel about that?"
Matthew Mitcham, an Olympic gold-medal diver, created an OnlyFans account charging $10 per month to share content that would be banned on Instagram and TikTok. The account offers curated, non-explicit imagery and avoids sex acts and full-frontal nudity, positioned as art rather than explicit material. The platform provides full control over content and reportedly generates about three times his earnings as a top athlete. Several other divers and Olympic hopefuls use OnlyFans to fund training or supplement income. Mitcham weighed reputational concerns and public stigma before joining but continues to maintain mainstream entertainment work alongside his OnlyFans activity.
