She’s teachers’ newest pet.
OnlyFans star Sophie Rain is offering to pay for teachers’ school supplies by fulfilling their Amazon wish lists — and told The Post she’s been inundated with 50,000 requests in just 48 hours.
“We have spent around $170,000 and cleared 520 carts. It’s been way more than I expected … and more messages are still coming in,” she said on Saturday, just two days after she made the announcement on her Instagram page.
“They’re coming from all over … California, Texas, Canada, UK … I knew teachers needed help, but seeing that many people send their classroom lists in such a short amount of time really puts it into perspective.”
The 21-year-old, one of the top earners on the adult site, raking in around $45 million per year, said she was shocked to learn that teachers shell out their own money for basic supplies.
“What surprised me is how similar a lot of the requests are … books, learning materials and things teachers are apparently paying for themselves all the time,” she said.
“When somebody is responsible for a classroom full of kids and still has to reach into their own paycheck to buy supplies for them, something is wrong with that system.”
The Miami native, who grew up on food stamps, said she can sympathize with the plight of teachers in need.
“My family wasn’t wealthy, so I understand what it’s like when money matters and you can’t just buy whatever you want,” she said.
“School supplies might seem like a small expense to some people, but when families and teachers are already stretching their budgets, those little costs add up really quickly.”
The Tampa resident, who started her OnlyFans page in May 2023, where she doesn’t do nudity, but “lingerie-bikini level suggestive teasing” made the altruistic move as a tongue-in-cheek response to failed Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback.
Fishback pledged to enact a 50% “sin tax” on the Sunshine State’s OnlyFans creators’ incomes and use part of that money to boost teachers’ salaries, “but we all really know where the money is going,” Rain told her nearly 9 million Instagram followers in Thursday’s post.
Rain, who has raked in close to $120 million on OnlyFans so far, said she’d be down to make appearances at the classrooms she’s helped.
“I’d love to visit some of them if the teachers, schools, and districts are comfortable with it. I think it would be cool to actually meet the teachers and students who are benefiting from this instead of everything happening through a phone screen. But I would never just show up somewhere or turn a classroom into a publicity stunt,” she said.
The brunette beauty, who also owns a 20-acre farm in Central Florida, recalled her own days as a student and her teachers who made a difference.
“I was definitely not the teacher’s-pet, straight-A student. I had subjects I liked and subjects where I was probably looking at the clock waiting to leave,” she said.
“But I always remember the teachers who actually cared about me as a person. You don’t really appreciate how much teachers do until you get older.”
