Camilla Araujo, a top-earning OnlyFans creator who has built a fortune exceeding $20 million in five years, has announced her retirement from the platform, effective January 1, 2026. The 23-year-old influencer delivered the news in a heartfelt video shared across her social media accounts on December 22, framing the decision as a positive step toward personal fulfillment rather than any conflict or regret. She plans to reveal a major new project at midnight on January 1, while reassuring fans that she remains dedicated to content creation and her online community.
Araujo rose to fame after appearing as Player 067 in MrBeast’s 2021 Squid Game recreation, which catapulted her following and led to a professional pivot into adult content. She turned OnlyFans into a business empire, peaking with monthly earnings in the millions and a recent 12-month net of over $11 million. Those funds enabled her to retire her parents, buy homes, and support countless others, achievements she highlighted with profound gratitude in her farewell message.
In the full video statement, Araujo spoke directly to her audience, addressing potential misconceptions and outlining her reasoning. Here is her complete announcement, broken into key quoted segments for clarity:
“Y’all know when I sit here it means I have something to say and before you even think it, no, I’m not beefing with anyone and not clocking tea. So let’s talk about it.”
“I haven’t even said this out loud really to people and this is crazy. I’m quitting OnlyFans. Yeah, I’m quitting. This is it.”
“I’m quitting and I know you guys have a lot of questions. So I’m here to answer them. Let’s take it step by step.”
“I’ve actually told a few of my friends this and I think when they hear me say that, they’re like, oh my god, are you quitting social media? No, I’m not doing that. I’m not leaving you guys… That’s forever. Okay, I’m not quitting content.”
“I feel like a lot of the girls that left that platform just went about it in such a cringe way. They either like talked bad about the girls that did it or just turned against it so hard.”
“Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t regret it and some of my best friends still do it. I still support my girls. I love them so much.”
“I’m just moving on to something that I actually feel is my purpose and it’s gonna actually fulfill my soul and fulfill what I think I’m meant to do in this life.”
“That platform is where I made my first million dollars. It’s where I retired my parents. It’s where I bought my first home. I was able to help hundreds of people through it… I’m so incredibly grateful for how far that platform has taken me.”
“But the more I focused on social media and actually being a content creator and honestly really putting my real personality out there, I grew beyond what I could have ever imagined and I think it really opened my eyes to the different possibilities.”
“I want to do something that caters to all of you guys and makes me happy. I’m not saying I wasn’t happy, but at some point I just outgrew it and I’m honestly just so excited to start something new that’s mine and that I’m so incredibly proud of.”
“All right. Let me give you a quick rundown: on New Year’s, the ball drop, midnight, boom, fireworks… My links are switching. What are they switching to? Stay tuned cuz it’s gonna be literally fucking insane and I cannot wait for you guys to see it.”
Araujo’s exit stands out in the creator space for its maturity and optimism, avoiding the pitfalls she highlighted in others while honoring the platform’s role in her success. It signals a broader trend among high-earners who leverage adult content as a wealth-building tool before transitioning to mainstream ventures. Fans have flooded her comments with support, celebrating her financial independence and eagerly awaiting the teased reveal.
This move positions Araujo for sustained influence beyond subscription models, potentially in areas such as branding, media, or entrepreneurship. Her story highlights the empowering potential of digital platforms when approached strategically. Stay connected via her Instagram or X for updates on what comes next.
