- Shannon Elizabeth has revealed how she's going to spend her OnlyFans money.
- The actress recently joined the platform and earned "more than seven figures."
- Elizabeth's "new chapter" comes after she filed for divorce.
OnlyFans is putting a roof over Shannon Elizabeth's head.
The *American Pie* star recently joined the platform, quickly earning**"more than seven figures" in her first week. But Elizabeth won't be doing anything flashy with the money, considering she recently filed for divorce and has been staying with friends.
"I have to find a place to live," she told *Page Six*. "I haven't figured out where I'm going to live, and if I'm going to buy, if I'm going to rent... I need all my stuff out of storage."
And while Elizabeth said that her OnlyFans following is "growing every day," she's yet to actually receive the cash in her "pocket," but that hasn't stopped people from "hitting me up for money."

"I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career," Elizabeth previously said of joining OnlyFans. "This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans."
The decision to share content on the platform came shortly after news broke of Elizabeth filing for divorce from her second husband, Simon Borchert, who she married in 2021.
"It was really difficult," she said of the split. "And it was just figuring out how to restart everything and kind of just starting from scratch. So it was like, well, now what?"

Elizabeth was a fixture in films in the early 2000s, including *Scary Movie*, *Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back*, and the *American Pie *franchise. (Elizabeth isn't in the new *Scary Movie*, but Marlon Wayans said "maybe down the line.") She's hoping that her new financial windfall will allow her to be more particular in choosing acting roles and give her opportunities to direct and produce.
But she's also looking to use her OnlyFans earnings for good, pledging some of the money to the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which aims to protect endangered species and their habitats.
“I can allocate certain things that I’m doing on the platform to all go to charity," she said, "so that’s what I’m going to be doing."
