Paige Spiranac and Paige VanZant lifestyles compared, from sports to wealth, Instagram followers and OnlyFans snub
THERE is no doubt they are Paige turners.
Both Paige Spiranac, 30, and Paige VanZant, 29, have secured huge fan bases on social media thanks to their athletic ability and stunning looks.
On Instagram, the pair are a huge draw – sharing their lifestyles with millions of followers.
Spiranac uses her platform to share golfing tips, as well as bikini photos and glam snaps.
While VanZant has a hugely popular OnlyFans account, where she shares racier content to her subscribers.
But, how do the beauties compare? Let SunSport guide you through their lives.
Insta famous
Instagram has been very kind to VanZant and Spiranac.
It has given the two a place where they have had the opportunity to build their brand and bank balances.
VanZant boasts a whopping 3.2 million followers, while Spiranac has the edge with 3.7 million devotees.
It has allowed them to become brand ambassadors, with Spiranac scoring a deal with PointsBet Sportsbook and sharing paid collaborations with various golfing companies.
While VanZant most recently sold a card that she had kissed to a fan for a staggering £10,700
They use the social platforms differently, with VanZant uploading photos with husband Austin Vanderford, but both have accumulated a staggering wealth.
VanZant is believed to be worth around £2million, while Spiranac has made about £2.4million.
OnlyFans
Although it’s not for everyone, VanZant has fully embraced OnlyFans.
The former UFC fighter has seen her popularity on the platform swell – scoring over a million likes for some risque content, including sexy photoshoots and a behind-the-scenes look into her everyday life.
At $9.99-per-month (£8.03), she is, no doubt, raking it in.
Spiranac snubbed OnlyFans to set her own similar website called OnlyPaige.
“I wasn’t against any of the other ones, they just didn’t have what I wanted, I wanted to bring so much value to you guys as possible,” she revealed.
“And umm, yeah, it’s just the best option it can give you so much bang for your buck.”
Not only does Spiranac share some glam photoshoots, she also offers golfing tips, techniques to improve your swing, as well as comments on the game itself.
But, she confirmed she would “never” go naked.
She said: “No shame to anyone who is doing that but I don’t feel comfortable doing it. And also you can get that for free on the internet, whenever you want.
“So I wanted to provide more value so I really focused in on golf instructions, which is something I’m really good at and something I love to do.
“So much of that is on OP [Only Paige] plus other stuff.
“And yes there are very sexy pictures on there, sexier things than I put on here. But there’s no nudity.”
Sport
With their exploits on social media overshadowing their sporting prowess, it’s easy to forget they were talented in their own fields.
VanZant won eight of her 13 UFC fights, before she parted ways with the organisation when her deal ended.
She then joined the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship – penning a multi-million pound contract with the organisation and recently signed an extension to that deal.
“I was in the UFC for six years getting paid $40,000 (to show) and $40,000 (to win), and now I’m getting ten times that doing what I love,” she revealed.
“So obviously, I’m not going anywhere. I’m very happy fighting here and I’m excited to fight.”

Although Spiranac was a whizz at junior and college level on the golf circuit, a professional career eluded her, although she’s making up for it by building her business empire.
In 2016, she competed in her first LPGA Qualifying Tournament, but did not earn a card to play on the professional circuit.
Advocates for female equality
Both Spiranac and VanZant agree on one thing. Equal pay for men and women in their respective sports.
VanZant was very vocal about the differences in pay in MMA.
“We should be looked at as equals. It is true that females get paid less than the men,” she told CNN.
“At this point, it’s more than, ‘I want to be paid the same as a man.’ All of us fighters need to get what we deserve, and I honestly think that. I just wanted to see my true value.”
Spiranac, herself, has slammed her sport for being “male dominated.”
She also wants golf to be more progressive and inclusive.
She said: “I was harassed, I was receiving death threats, people were invading my privacy, I was being blackmailed… Because I look different to a golfer, maybe?
“I dress differently, I don’t conform to what golf is supposed to be. I love golf, I think it is a great game, but I think there are a lot of things that need to change. I think it needs to become more progressive, more inclusive.”
