Twin sisters Julia and Lauren Burch, 25, are earning six figures a month on OnlyFans, and they’ve now helped their mother build her own income stream on the platform after a disabling diagnosis forced her out of the workforce.
The Los Angeles-based twins launched their OnlyFans accounts in July 2020. “We were aspiring models when we were kids, but we’re short, so we started on social media,” Julia told The New York Post. Each sister has roughly 2 million Instagram followers and more than 400,000 OnlyFans subscribers.
Their mother, Pam, 46, raised Julia, Lauren and a son as a single mom in Ontario, Canada, where she still spends most of the year living in a van. She homeschooled her children for much of their childhood and worked multiple jobs, including years of waitressing, to fund her daughters’ competitive dancing. She later went back to school and became a child and youth care practitioner for the local school board.
That career ended when Pam was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder that causes extreme fatigue in the arms and legs. Unable to continue working her job and separating from her fiancé at the same time, Pam found that her roughly $2,000 monthly disability payments didn’t cover her expenses.
“OnlyFans seemed like the best next step,” Pam said. “It allows me to work when I can and give my body a rest.”
Her daughters, who had already built a business around content creation, stepped in to help her get started when she launched her page in 2023. “We help her take photos and get to take cute pictures for social media around the holidays and things like that,” Lauren said. Pam now has about 15,000 subscribers and has earned six figures in total since she began.
All three say they’ve faced plenty of online criticism, including comments accusing the family of “fatherless behavior” and worse. They say it hasn’t slowed them down.
“A lot of people I’d say are jealous,” Pam said.
For the family, the arrangement is straightforward: a disability diagnosis closed one door, and the twins’ existing platform opened another, letting their mother set her own hours and work around a condition that limits how much physical labor she can do.
