Lamar Odom isn't wasting any time cashing in on his latest career move. The former Los Angeles Lakers star reportedly pulled in more than $50,000 in just eight days after launching his OnlyFans account, and that payday could be just the beginning.
According to TMZ, Odom is on track to earn more than $200,000 from the subscription platform, where he's charging fans $14.99 a month for exclusive content.
And Odom isn't limiting himself to behind-the-scenes basketball stories. The 47-year-old is reportedly posting nude photos on the platform, with the possibility of bringing his girlfriend, Rachel Bradley, into the mix. Bradley has launched her own OnlyFans account, and the couple is considering creating content together.
Odom joined OnlyFans in October, with TMZ reporting that he became the first former NBA star to launch an account on the platform. When asked about his decision to enter the subscription-content business, the two-time NBA champion acknowledged that he'd lived a "wild life" but insisted he still had "a few surprises left."
Of course, Odom has spent years making headlines for considerably more than his basketball accomplishments. Earlier this year, Netflix released Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, a documentary examining his NBA career, struggles with addiction, and the 2015 overdose that nearly killed him.
Odom was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel and suffered a series of medical emergencies that left him fighting for his life.
"I had 12 strokes and six heart attacks," Odom said in the documentary's trailer. "That's not no average sh*t."
His ex-wife, Khloé Kardashian, appeared in the film and discussed the toll his addiction took on their marriage, including periods when he would disappear during drug binges.
Odom has also acknowledged that his substance use affected his legacy on the court. During a February appearance on Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter's Cousins podcast, he admitted that cocaine became a regular part of his NBA offseasons.
"I had some great cocaine summers," he said, before arguing that his addiction cost him a place among basketball's all-time greats. "A hundred percent, I should be where y'all at in the Hall of Fame."
The former Sixth Man of the Year entered treatment earlier this year following a January DUI arrest in Las Vegas. His manager said he sought help for marijuana use to avoid returning to harder drugs.
