Springbok skipper Siya Kolisi is missing out on millions of rands in potential earnings via online content platform OnlyFans, where according to a study, he would make a killing.
Live Rugby Tickets has created a seed list of the top 100 rugby players and analysed Instagram and Cam Model Agency to estimate how much the world’s top rugby players could earn posing for the camera instead.
And according to them, Kolisi – who boasts an impressive 758 377 Instagram followers – could make as much as £460 000 (R12 million) a month should he give fans a peek into his more risque side.
