Maitland Ward has contrasted her previous salary on the hit 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World with her current income from onlyFans and the adult film industry. The 49-year-old former Disney star earned around $20,000 to $25,000 per episode during her two-year stint on the show, but now claims she can make six figures a month on the subscription platform.
Speaking on the podcast Hollywood Demons, Ward recalled living in constant fear of being fired during her time on Boy Meets World. “You don’t have all the guarantees out there,” she said, comparing the instability of traditional television work to the autonomy she now enjoys.
After appearing in White Chicks (2004) and Out of Practice (2005), Ward pivoted to adult entertainment in 2019. She explained that her earnings from OnlyFans and adult film sales are now supplemented by building her own brand. “I can make it go for as long as I want it to go,” she stated.
In a separate interview with Fox News, Ward reflected on her Hollywood experience, describing young actors as being treated like “property” by studios. “It was such a factory kind of environment. You were just a product being sold,” she said, though she admitted she didn’t recognise the problem at the time.
Ward has previously argued that she receives more respect since joining OnlyFans. She noted that people in Hollywood are now “so respectful and positive” about her story, particularly younger audiences, referencing her 2022 memoir Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood.
