Former AT&T spokesperson Milana Vayntrub raised more than $500,000 by selling “tastefully obscene” photos of herself to help victims of California’s devastating wildfires.
Vayntrub, 38, revealed on Tuesday that her donation to the Only Philanthropy project on the popular amateur adult video site OnlyFans has crossed the $500,000 mark, making it “the best thing I’ve ever been a part of.”
“I have a completely crazy idea for an experiment,” Vanytrub wrote on Instagram. “After the fires in Los Angeles this year, I realized that what people really need is some cash. So I was wondering if you and I could try something ridiculous and join forces to help those affected.”

The actress and model, best known for her long-running role as “Lily” in telecoms ads, teased potential donors, saying they would receive “frivolous and tastefully obscene” photos of her, but ruled out nudity.
Vanytrub began offering people “exclusive photos” of her in exchange for donations to a GoFundMe set up by Bridget Bradley. Bridget Bradley is a single mom who lost her east Altadena home in January’s deadly Eaton wildfire.
The initial donation drive raised $170,000 in four days, helping Bradley pay for a year of housing, medical expenses and a new car. Bradley had three children, including a 5-year-old son who had cerebral palsy at the time.
“Only philanthropic causes trade exclusive content for real-world impact,” the company’s website says. “We raise money fast for urgent causes by giving our generous supporters something a little flirty, a little silly, but loving.”
The “This Is Us” actor launched his second project over the summer, raising $350,000 within a week of the success of his first venture.

The funds were later donated to Altadena-based My Tribe Rise, an organization that has been helping seniors, disabled and underinsured individuals “rebuild their lives.”
The large donation was divided into direct grants to fire survivors.
The company revealed that the first two campaigns had 3,500 donors who donated an average of $120 with less than 10 hours of “creator” work.

With this initial success, Vayntrub is exploring additional options for Only Philanthropy, looking for new projects and causes to raise funds for, including justice reform, homelessness, LGBTQ+ rights and climate resiliency
“We’ve raised over $500,000 this year. Now let’s grow this into something bigger, weirder, and more powerful and get more creators on board,” Vayntrub said.

The company uses a tiered payment system, with donations “becoming more enticing” at each level, the website says.
Donate $1,000 for a chance to receive a signed Polaroid photo taken by Vayntrub.
Digital photos sent out are digitally watermarked with the donor’s email to ensure the photos are not leaked online and, if so, the company knows their origin.
