Bear in mind, that's just the second most successful patreon account on the site.


This is the most successful, at 67k a month:

Number 3 is, weirdly enough, Amanda Palmer, aka Neil Gaiman's wife. Though her's is limited to 36k per creation, as opposed to automatic payments made per month.

To be honest though, if you can convince nearly 10.000 people to pay you over $40.000 per month to make a porn game, you deserve every penny of it.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Thing with these patreons is, it's basically a lot of people paying a little money each month, which adds up to a lot of money when a thousand people think this artist deserves to get 5 dollars from them per month.

So it's not even that ridiculous how much money they make, it's more about being able to reach a big audience.

It's ironic that Patreon is often understood as a SJW Charity machine, yet most of the top earners do this kind of stuff.

If people making farm sex games and Disney porn art make so much money from Patreon, I wonder how much creators of quality content can get...

To be fair, they don't really advertise their patreon account as being the only way to access their content (unlike some of these other ones, which treat the money they get as a sort of subscription fee for the patrons to access their content), and if anything try to discourage people from unnecessarily donating by telling them that all they're getting from it is some behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks. Even then, they're still the 21st highest earning account on the site, which is nothing to gawk at, and get paid $10,000 a month along with whatever ad revenue they get from YouTube and from merchandise sales for getting drunk and watching some bad movies once a month.

I don't really have any issue with this. After all, it's not the content creator's fault that people are giving them money. I just find it amusing that people talk about how people praise Patreon for being a platform for artists to earn a living, and then you check the list of highest earning patreon accounts, and almost half of the top twenty are for porn or erotica.


What a wonderful world we live in.
