In a surprising revelation, a recent study by third-party search site Only Guider reported that residents of Tampa shelled out a staggering $8,668,566 on OnlyFans in 2025. OnlyFans, a popular subscription-based platform often linked with adult content, seems to have captivated the city.
With an average spend of $20.68 per resident, based on Tampa's population of about 419,000, this figure is quite significant. For context, it's still cheaper than a day’s parking at Busch Gardens. Despite the steep number, Tampa came in 15th on the national list for OnlyFans spending.
Atlanta claimed the top spot, spending $26.2 million, while Orlando followed with $14.3 million. Only Guider arrived at these numbers by analyzing their data combined with the Google Ads API, focusing on spending by territory, census division, and major metro areas.
“Tampa's $8.6 million spend is notable, nearly matching budget cuts or investments in local community projects,” commented a spokesperson familiar with the study.
To put things in perspective, Tampa's OnlyFans spending is on par with what was cut from affordable housing funds or invested in flood improvements in nearby areas. It also mirrors what Jeff Vinik, former Lightning owner, invested in his lavish penthouse.
These insights not only reflect spending habits but also highlight broader societal trends in digital intimacy and content consumption. As cities like Tampa continue to contribute heavily to OnlyFans, it raises questions about digital consumption's role in modern urban life.
