Sophie Rain helps teachers after Fishback's 'sin tax' plan fails
OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain is donating to teachers' wish lists after Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback lost his primary race. Fishback had proposed a 50% 'sin tax' on adult content earnings, which Rain criticized as an 'unserious clout grab.'
Sophie Rain's Response to Defeated 'Sin Tax' Proposal
OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain has announced she will be clearing teachers' wish lists, a move that comes after Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback lost his Republican primary race. Fishback, an investment firm CEO, had proposed a 50% 'sin tax' on earnings from adult content platforms, a plan that Rain has publicly opposed.
Rain, a 21-year-old Tampa resident, is one of the highest-earning creators on OnlyFans, a subscription service that allows sexually explicit content. She told journalist Don Lemon she has generated over $110 million since launching her career. In a TikTok, Rain said, "This week, I'm gonna be clearing schoolteachers' wish list. James Fishback, a Florida gubernatorial candidate who just lost the race, wanted to tax me 50% of my income because he deems my job a sin, and that's on top of the federal taxes I already paid."
She continued, quoting Fishback's proposal: "'Sin Tax would be used to help school teachers in Florida,' but we all really know where the money's going."
Fishback's Defeat and Background
Fishback received 10.5% of the vote in the Republican primary. He conceded the race but said, "The truth is while I concede this race, I do not concede this fight because the future of our country is on the line." He noted that his opponent had over $100 million while he had only 1% of that.
Fishback, 31, is an investment firm CEO who never held political office. He attended Georgetown University but dropped out and founded Azoria Partners and Incubate Debate. In explaining his tax proposal, he said in an interview with NXR Studios that he did not want young women to sell their bodies or young men to stray from Christ.
Rain has called the proposal an "unserious clout grab" and said she would pay if corporations were properly taxed. The November gubernatorial race in Florida will now be between Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly.
The Donation Effort
Rain has been donating to teachers' wish lists, spending around $170,000 and clearing 520 carts so far. She told the New York Post that she has received hundreds of thousands of requests from teachers across North America and hopes to do more. The effort has drawn attention to the intersection of politics and online content creation.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
