OnlyFans Star Camilla Araújo's Meteoric Rise from MrBeast's "Squid Game" to $5M Home

In November 2021, Camilla Araújo, a college student at the time, unexpectedly found herself in the spotlight after appearing in one of YouTube's most-watched stunt videos ever: MrBeast's $456,000 "Squid Game" recreation. Though her role was brief, Araújo's striking looks and viral clip of MrBeast questioning her about the show captivated fans, leading to a staggering 145,000 new followers overnight.

Over the past two years, Araújo has leveraged this viral fame to build a thriving career as an OnlyFans star. Recognizing the platform's potential, she initially struggled to find success on traditional social media before launching her OnlyFans account in 2022. Araújo's strategic use of controversial "rage bait" content, where she deliberately provokes outrage online, has been key to her rapid growth, as she's learned that "anger plus engagement equals views equals money."

Now, just a few years after her MrBeast cameo, the 23-year-old Araújo has achieved remarkable success, recently purchasing a $5 million home. Her journey showcases the power of the OnlyFans platform to transform online attention into substantial wealth, as well as the unconventional methods some creators employ to drive that growth.
