Brianna Coppage said she made $1 million on the platform, which she was using to supplement her teaching salary.

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public…

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. “But her students could find her OF!” is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.

    why would you need more than a couple million?

    7% of $2mill is $140,000 dollars a year, and anything you don’t spend just makes you more money.

      Idunno, just didn’t do the math. I’ve definitely done it before and knew that at typical safe interest rates you can live comfortably off of the interest of…. Something in the realm of 1-10 million.

        you can live comfortably off of $50k USD/yr, which at a shitty 3% interest is $1.7million.

        But that’s my point. You don’t need more than $2million. The $3mil-$10mil in your range is crazy.

        This is why we shouldn’t just eat people with over 1000 million dollars, but even 50 million is an insane amount to need.

          It was a vague statement, based off a vague memory, about some shit that doesn’t matter. Calm down.

              lol, I love how my

              Calm down.

              Was read as

              CALM THE FUCK DOWN NOW. CHILL OUT. FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY WON’T YOU CALM THE FUCK DOWN?

              That seems like a bit of a stretch, but hey, you’re the master estimator here. And apparently I’m just a psychotic child.

              Your first message to me was fine, and my response was even keeled, simply explaining why I said what I did. But then you tacked on “crazy” in your follow up, which seemed a bit unnecessary. Now you’re calling me child. Idk….

              Do you need a hug?
