Camilla Araujo Leaves $20 Million OnlyFans Career Behind To Focus On A New Chapter In Life

Camilla Araujo, once known to millions as Player 067 from MrBeast’s viral Squid Game recreation, has stepped away from the digital empire she built — one that brought her more than 30 million followers and over $20 million in earnings. In her newly released YouTube documentary Becoming Her, Araujo publicly announced her departure from OnlyFans, the platform that propelled her into the upper echelons of internet stardom. Her reason wasn’t scandal or burnout, but something far more introspective — growth.

“Over the last three years, I’ve gained over 30 million followers and made over $20 million. And yeah, mostly through OnlyFans. But today, I quit. But the reason probably isn’t what you think,” she shares in the opening of the documentary. This sets the tone for a revealing look into the real journey behind the numbers — a journey shaped by ambition, depression, persistence, and ultimately, personal reinvention.


Born to immigrant parents and raised in a modest one-bedroom apartment, Araujo grew up under the weight of expectation. Her parents dreamed of her becoming a doctor, a vision she initially honored by enrolling at East Carolina University. But campus life quickly clashed with her growing hunger for freedom. Working multiple jobs to cover the basics and save for a spring break trip, she began to recognize the taste of financial independence — and she wanted more.


Her breakout moment came unexpectedly when she appeared in a MrBeast video, which catapulted her into viral fame. “People had no idea what my name was. They only knew me as 067,” she recalls. “So I chased that. I chased the virality. I chased the fame. I chased that feeling again”. Her focus shifted away from academics toward content creation, a passion that consumed her until she ultimately dropped out of college. But even as she pursued digital fame, the path wasn’t smooth.


Struggling to find consistent success on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, Araujo entered a dark period. Depression set in. She describes days spent in bed, disconnected from friends and family, questioning her future, and begging for reassurance that her efforts would amount to something. Her breaking point came when she saw the online world obsessing over one question: “When is the link going to drop?” The link, of course, being to her future OnlyFans page.


Starting OnlyFans wasn’t an instant success either. Contrary to the fantasy of overnight riches, she had to take multiple jobs to survive — working in nightlife and corporate offices while trying to build her online brand. The final push came when a corporate boss, aware of her OnlyFans presence, crossed professional boundaries in her workplace. That moment crystallized everything for Araujo: she needed a singular focus, and she needed to be the best at it.


That focus became content creation — and more specifically, viewership. “Nothing—OnlyFans, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram—none of it matters if you’re not getting views,” she explains. What followed was a complete transformation in strategy and mindset. She became a student of the algorithm, mastering the mechanics of engagement. It was during this period that she learned the most important truth of her career: “More views equals more money”.

Those five words became her formula, her mantra, and ultimately, the key to her unprecedented growth. With a laser-sharp understanding of audience psychology and digital traction, Araujo turned her OnlyFans page into a financial juggernaut. But even at the peak of her success, she recognized that numbers alone don’t define success. Her decision to walk away wasn’t about turning her back on what she built — it was about redefining what she wanted for herself moving forward.


“I didn’t leave OnlyFans out of regret. I left because I grew,” Araujo states with conviction. With the launch of her program Becoming Her, she now hopes to guide others through the same process of building a personal brand and cultivating long-term value. Whether aspiring creators or entrepreneurs, her message is the same — you don’t need to be born special, you need to be relentless.


Today, Araujo stands as a symbol of what modern success can look like when aligned with authenticity. From a one-bedroom apartment to a $6 million home, from dorm rooms to digital domination, her journey is proof that strategy, self-belief, and perseverance can change everything. And while she’s no longer on OnlyFans, her most powerful content may just be the story of how she walked away from it — with grace, confidence, and purpose.



Editor's Note


By Robert White, Editor-in-Chief


At Savoir Faire, we celebrate the evolution of the modern man — but we also deeply admire the resilience and reinvention of the modern woman. Camilla Araujo’s story is not just a headline; it’s a reminder of what strength, clarity, and self-respect look like in an age where virality can often overshadow values.


Over the years, we’ve seen many find immense financial success through platforms like OnlyFans. We do not ignore the scale of wealth or the cultural impact it has had. But we also understand that numbers alone do not define a person — character does. When you strip away the dollar signs and the digital applause, what’s left is the measure of who you are and who you are becoming.


Camilla’s decision to walk away from a $20 million empire is not only bold — it is a declaration of growth. From the ashes of a life that no longer aligned with her soul, she rose with purpose. Like a phoenix, she has chosen to be reborn, guided by a deeper vision of fulfillment. It takes courage to leave behind comfort for character. It takes vision to trade instant success for lasting integrity.


At Savoir Faire, we remove judgment and look at the heart of every decision. And whether someone walks away from that world quietly or boldly, with ten followers or ten million, we stand in applause for anyone choosing something better. Camilla, your story is a testament to the power of transformation. May it inspire others to know that they too can evolve — without shame, without fear, and without limits.

we are excited to see what social influencers grow from your program and knowledge, and we hope part of the message is that Onlyfans could truly be left behind.
