Adult Star Skylar Mae Says She'd Support a Boyfriend on $30K, but Has One Rule: 'They Need To Have Goals'

Adult star Skylar Mae says she would date a man earning $30,000 (£22,500) a year, despite reportedly making more than $1 million (£750,000) a month from OnlyFans. The 23-year-old creator told OK! that a partner's ambition, financial responsibility and personal goals matter more to her than his salary.

For context, Mae spoke to OK! in an interview published on 12 October 2026. She said she would be happy to date someone earning significantly less than her, provided he was working towards a goal and had ambitions of his own.

'I would 100% date someone who earns significantly less than me,' Mae told OK!. 'They just need to be ambitious, working towards a goal, and have a good career.'

Skylar Mae's Dating Rule

Mae said she would consider financially supporting a boyfriend, provided he had a job or something meaningful to work towards. Her comments suggest that personal ambition matters more to her than a partner's salary.

She also said she values sensible money management over income alone. Mae pointed to saving and investing as markers of financial responsibility.

'Are you investing? Do you have a savings account? That stuff is more important to me than honestly anyone's tax bracket,' she said.

Her comments challenge the idea that a significant income gap must be an obstacle in a relationship. Mae did not frame her preference as a rejection of lower earners, but as a requirement that a partner remain engaged with his own life.

'I'll be happy as long as they're a good human, they're happy every day, they're working, and they're very motivated in life,' she added.

Why Goals Matter to Her

Mae said she believes people need motivation to get through the day. In her view, that motivation does not have to come from a high salary.

'I think it's super important to have your own motivation that gets you out of bed every morning,' she said. 'I think that's what humans run off. Do you have something you're trying to achieve every single day?'

She added that a partner could earn $30,000 (£22,500) a year and still meet her expectations, provided he had goals and ambitions. The reported figure is the annual salary Mae said she would accept in a partner, not a claim about what she believes all men should earn.

Mae's reported monthly earnings from OnlyFans are also her own claim, rather than an independently verified figure. OK! reported that she earns more than $1 million (£750,000) a month, but the interview does not establish whether that amount refers to gross revenue or net income.

Money, Ego and Intimidation

Mae was asked whether her earnings make dating more difficult. 'Yes and no,' she said, explaining that she does not place money at the centre of what she looks for in a partner.

'I would hope someone wouldn't view me as, "How much money do you make in a month?"' she said.

She said no man has admitted to feeling intimidated by her success. Mae suggested that the men she dates are not insecure and respond positively to her drive.

'I think they love how ambitious and motivated I am every day,' she said.

Mae described herself as headstrong, adding, 'I'm a bull, I'm a Taurus.' She said anyone uncomfortable with that personality would not be a good fit for her.

What She Would Do for a Partner

Her willingness to support a partner adds another dimension to her comments. Mae said she would consider doing so, but only if he had a job or something meaningful to work towards.

That qualification is important. Her position is not that a boyfriend should stop working and rely on her income. It is that he should keep moving, even if his earnings are modest.

Mae's answers leave some questions open. She did not explain how financial support would work in practice, nor did she address how a lower-earning partner might feel about accepting it.

What she did make clear is that she does not believe a man needs to out-earn her to be worth dating. In her telling, a good partner needs to be kind, financially sensible and motivated.

Whether that balance works in practice is something only she and a future partner could answer. For now, Mae's rule is simple: have goals, even if the pay cheque is small.
