A controversial new trend is sweeping through Sydney's affluent eastern suburbs, with talent agents reporting a significant increase in private school graduates from elite colleges joining the adult content platform OnlyFans upon turning eighteen.
The Paris Ow-Yang Blueprint
At the centre of this phenomenon is Paris Ow-Yang, a 20-year-old graduate of the prestigious Frensham School in Mittagong. She has become a role model for other young women who see the subscription-based site as a direct route to fame and substantial wealth. Ow-Yang launched her account the day after her eighteenth birthday and has since leveraged her online success into a staggering property empire.
Her remarkable portfolio, valued at over $15 million, includes a block of six units in Randwick, purchased for $7.5 million. According to reports, these six renovated apartments generate a combined weekly rental income of $6,195. The building boasts 14 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and features ocean and district views across Coogee.
Agency Reports a Surge in Interest
Rhys Nosworthy, an agent from XX MGMT which specialises in managing OnlyFans creators, confirmed the trend to The Daily Telegraph. "Paris has definitely been part of the system and has raised awareness about OF," Nosworthy stated. "She is up there as one of the people these girls want to be like."
He highlighted that a key part of her influence stems from achieving stardom at such a young age, immediately amassing a huge following. His agency is now being contacted by numerous young women seeking representation. "Girls that age want to join OF and it is one of the most sought-after age brackets by users," he explained. "The girls who are this age tend to be the ones who make the most amount of money."
From Elite Education to Multi-Million Pound Empire
Paris Ow-Yang, the daughter of renowned Sydney neurosurgeon Dr Michael Ow-Yang, attended Frensham, an elite boarding school with annual fees of $33,000. With over 500,000 Instagram followers, she has capitalised on her digital fame.
Her property acquisitions extend beyond the Randwick block. Other assets held under Ow-Yang Property Pty Ltd include another block of units in Randwick bought for $4.3 million, a two-bedroom home in Bondi Beach, and a four-bedroom estate in Bowral. She famously declared, "I have an over 15 million dollar property portfolio. While you're busy writing about me, I'm buying 7.5 million properties."
This trend underscores a significant shift in career aspirations and wealth generation among a new generation, using digital platforms to build fortunes traditionally accumulated over decades.
