Cosplayer Meriol Chan Out-Earns Wall Street With Intimate Content Empire
Most people assume the top 0.01% of OnlyFans creators got there through shock value or controversy. Meriol Chan (https://hoo.be/meriolchanxoxo) got there through grit, sometimes spending days perfecting a single edit or dance routine.

The numbers sound impossible, with over 2 million followers across platforms and a ranking that puts her above 99.99% of creators on the world's most competitive content platform. But here's what nobody talks about: Chan didn't stumble into this.
"I never expected this to be my main thing I do in life," she says, a statement that feels almost absurd given the heights she’s reached in the digital economy.
Here's the part that should make every content marketing executive uncomfortable: one person, working alone, has built an audience larger than most media companies will ever reach.
While other creators chase trends, Chan spends endless hours on single videos to make sure they really resonate. She learns choreography from scratch for every piece and curates outfits with the attention of a professional costume designer. Then she records and edits everything herself.

Today’s cosplay-dance fusion scene wouldn’t look the same without her. Before Chan, these worlds rarely overlapped at this production level. Now she's created a blueprint that's being copied across platforms, though few can match the execution.
The 0.01% statistic lands differently when you understand the denominator. OnlyFans has over 4 million active creators, and she got there through a method that contradicts everything the internet supposedly rewards: patience, craft and invisible labor.
The real scandal? While everyone debates the ethics of the platform, they're missing the economics. Chan is essentially operating a one-person production studio that's outperforming traditional media on reach, and likely revenue. What started as self-expression has become something else entirely: a masterclass in why professionalism still matters in supposedly amateur spaces.
