A former footballer who quit the sport after being caught inhaling balloons at a party and drinking champagne from her car is now making an eye-watering amount of money with her new career move.
Madeleine Wright, 26, was sacked by Charlton Women in 2019 after pictures of her off-field antics emerged.
She had previously been investigated by her former club Millwall after she filmed a friend holding a dog with its paws on the steering wheel while they were driving along a residential road – footage of which emerged in 2019.
She was seen sipping champagne from a bottle behind the wheel of her £31,500 modified Range Rover Evoque in a video that year.
But she has managed to carve out a successful high-profile career for herself away from football.
That has come in the form of being a content creator on OnlyFans – which she has done since leaving Leyton Orient last year.

But she has now made a name for herself outside of football after signing up to OnlyFans
It has seen her Instagram following grow to an enormous mark of 324,000
Wright looked to be finding her feet on the pitch again last season, scoring on her debut with Orient and posting about rebuilding her career at the club.
However, she has chosen to take a vastly different route this time around.
It has seen her Instagram following grow to an enormous mark of 324,000 at the time this article was published.
That comes as she has earnt at least £500,000 from OnlyFans since 2022 as she continues to take the internet by storm.
While she admitted to having concerns about signing up to OnlyFans because it has earnt a reputation for allegedly showing pornography and purportedly allowing prostitutes to offer sex, Madeleine says she she feels she made the right call.
Speaking to The Sun in 2022, she said: ‘My main reason not to do it was the reputation it had. I didn’t want to be associated with that kind of thing.
‘But when you weigh up the pros and cons, and after doing it for a full year, I know I made the right decision.
‘In the first year I made in the ballpark of half a million pounds. I can’t lie, it has completely changed my life.
Wright was dismissed by Charlton after several damning videos emerged on social media
She revealed she is earning around £500,000 from OnlyFans, with the money changing her life
Once hesitant to launching her own OnlyFans profile, Wright says she has no regrets
Wright has revealed that she is interested in streaming content online, alongside OnlyFans
‘I was able to get my own place, I have been able to travel the world and have enjoyed a lot of luxurious things.’
She also expressed her desire to become an entrepreneur and start her own business in order to prove her credentials outside of football.
A further interest of Wright’s lies in becoming a video game streamer – as she has expressed an interest in delving into the lucrative world of e-sports.
Posting to X, formerly Twitter, she said: ‘I wanna start streaming.’
She then added: ‘Okay guys, I’m actually doing this. Let me know what games to get.’
Whether she finds success in this area remains to be seen but if her other career moves since leaving football are anything to go by – she will attract great attention if she opts to do so.
