Jessie Cave, best known for playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film series, has revealed that her earnings from OnlyFans have now surpassed the money she made throughout her acting career.
Cave joined the platform in March 2025 while looking for a way to improve her family’s finances and balance work with raising her four children.
From Harry Potter Fame to a New Income Stream
What began as a new source of income quickly turned into a major financial success. Cave has said she earned more than £15,000 on her first day and that her earnings from the platform have since exceeded what she made from acting.
Her content centers largely on hair-related videos, including brushing and styling, as well as creative themed material. The work has given her a very different route to earning money outside traditional acting.
“Genuinely Saved Our Lives”
Cave has spoken openly about the financial difference the platform has made for her family, describing it as something that had “genuinely saved our lives.”
The revelation offers an unusual look at the changing ways entertainers can build income beyond film and television.
For Cave, the actress who became familiar to millions through the Harry Potter franchise, an unexpected career move has developed into a significant financial success.
