Cupid just got a serious upgrade — and a paycheck.
“I’ll pay you 100k to get me married, or 300k to arrange an impregnation deal. If you recommend me a guy and I end up marrying him, I’ll pay you $100k,” wrote OnlyFans star Aella on her Substack last month, sending the internet into a frenzy.
At 33 and living in the Bay Area, Aella admitted she’s no ordinary dater.
“I’m a very weird person. It hasn’t been hard to find people to date, or men willing to marry me, but ‘people I want to marry’ is a vanishingly small group.”
Her checklist for Mr. Right is… unconventional.
“I’d like a man who’s fully committed to polyamory (~3% of the population) with space for a primary partner, and with ominous sexuality (~10% of men), who’s in a similar enough wealth tier to me that I don’t have to financially support him, who wants kids, and who’s fully self accepting,” she continued.
In plain English: he’s rare, rich-ish, kinky, and ready for commitment. Bonus points for brains, politics, age, and BMI — but Aella confessed she’s already pushing her luck. She’s also picky about status.
Here’s how the bounty works: you recommend a candidate she hasn’t already considered, make sure you’re first, and fill out her date-me survey.
Mess around with the rules or lie on the survey? That’s an automatic breakup. Aella doesn’t mess around when money and romance mix.
“100k is not trivial for me, net-worth wise. But if I imagine I’m already happily married in the future, and you asked ‘would you have paid 100k to meet your husband?’ I imagine I’d say yes without hesitation.”
And if $100K isn’t enough, Aella cranks the stakes up. “Or, you can find someone to pay me 10m (post tax) to impregnate me and have me raise his child, sole custody, single mother… If the deal goes through, I’ll pay you $300k.”
She’s even freezing dozens of eggs to optimize future offspring, in case you thought this bounty wasn’t serious.
Aella sees herself as a pioneer of romance capitalism. Why limit love to dating apps or matchmaking services? She’s crowd-sourcing it — and she’s unapologetic about putting a price on affection.
In a recent interview with Slate, the model revealed she snagged her current four-year beau thanks to a survey she had her followers fill out.
Aella also told the outlet she’s “of a demographic that a lot of people are unattracted to” — polyamorous, like roughly 3 percent of the population.
She defended her idea of the bounty, stressing that “people treat matchmaking like it’s magical,” expecting “your hands touch, and then your eyes lock, and then there’s something ineffable between you.”
The brunette beauty called that “nice, but… unrealistic,” arguing that in 2025, “we can do better than just the person who just happened to be walking down the street.”
As the publication reported, would-be suitors can submit a recommendation or take Aella’s online survey — complete with questions about porn preferences, logic puzzles, and more.
And Aella isn’t the first to put a price tag on love — others have tried turning romance into a reward program.
As The Post previously reported, fellow wannabe bride and LA attorney Eve Tilley-Coulson put a pricey “referral bonus” on the line in 2023 for anyone who could land her a husband.
“A while ago, I told my friends I’d pay them $5,000 if they introduce me to my husband,” she said. “And I figured, why not open the offer up to TikTok?”
At the time, she went viral with her matchmaking plea on the platform. The bold pitch racked up more than 556,000 views — and scored 20 to 25 digital intros to potential suitors via rookie marriage brokers, she revealed.
