'I became a millionaire as an adult actress but I don't do it for the money'

Courtney Tillia, 36, hit millionaire status after she quit her teaching job and became an adult actress but she insists she doesn't do the job solely for the financial gain

A former teacher who ditched her career to make X-rated videos on OnlyFans insists she doesn't do it for the money.

Courtney Tillia was once a special educational needs teacher for children with autism. While she found the job rewarding emotionally, she claims she was barely scraping by on the pay for it.

Now she claims she's hit millionaire status as she's earning an absolute fortune from her racy snaps. She told TMZ that she's racked up more than $1million (around 865,000) between her three OnlyFans accounts.

However, the 36-year-old insists that the financial benefit of the job isn't the main reason why she does it. Tillia appeared on a recent episode of Dr. Phil to talk about her career as an adult actress when she made the revelation.

Dr Phil had asked her whether she would still be making her racy content if she was to inherit $10million and be secure for the rest of her life. To which, she explained: "Yes. I've always said this.

"People always throw that out there as like a 'gotcha question'. Like 'you did this only for money.' I love expressing myself. This is who I am. I'm still going to do this."

"We have flourishing coaching businesses and are very well-educated! We had endless options, but this is the path we wanted!"
