Millionaire Anna Paul stunned a reporter into awkward laughter at the 2024 TikTok Awards in Sydney as she made a tone-deaf remark about her wealth. The TikTok sensation’s gaffe came when she was asked who she would like to be if she could be any other content creator for 24 hours. In response, the Gold Coast based social media star – who has an estimated net worth of $10million – replied: ‘Someone who’s super super super rich.’
She continued: ‘I’d get on a yacht, I’d get on a helicopter,’ ticking the wish list items off on her fingertips as she talked.
However, the reporter pressed her again and said: ‘Can’t you do that?’ with Anna laughing off her gaffe as she replied: ‘I guess so, yeah,’ in the embarrassing moment.
After she copped some backlash on social media for her remark, Anna defended herself in the comments section as she insisted she was just ‘nervous’.
She confessed: ‘Guys I was so so nervous and didn’t know what to say on the spot.
‘I’m nervous laughing to try to move past the question cause I didn’t know what to say on the spot like that.’
At the TikTok Awards, Anna ensured all eyes were on her as she led the arrivals in a glittering floor-length dress, adorned with intricate embroidery and a thigh high split.
No stranger to showing off her designer wardrobe, the show-stopping custom frock, designed by Kylie Jenner’s Khy label, retails for $340.
The superstar, who has more than 7million TikTok followers, kept her accessories to a minimum for the star-studded night, simply adding an array of dainty bracelets.
Anna has never publicly disclosed her total net worth, although it was estimated to be about $10million at the end of last year.
As well as her TikTok content, Anna reportedly makes up to $220,000 a month from her $9.99 per month content subscriptions on OnlyFans in what is her main source of income.
Anna started her OnlyFans account at the age of 18 after carving out a reputation for herself as an influencer throughout her teenage years.

She now has a cumulative 9.6million followers across her social media platforms and her vlogs have documented her transformation from a ‘broke’ schoolgirl to a wealthy content creator and skincare entrepreneur.
‘Ever since I have been able to post my life online, I have been doing it,’ Anna once said in a TikTok, admitting that when it comes to her own success ‘I don’t know what it is’ that makes people love her.
‘I have mums coming up to me, and then I have the daughters saying, “My mum loves you’. I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad people like following my day”,’ she shared.
Anna has earned praise and adoration from young girls for her ‘girl-next-door’ content and body-positive messaging on social media.
And unlike the vast majority of Australian influencers, Anna declines the ‘multiple’ offers she receives to advertise products from local and international brands that would secure her very generous pay packets.
‘It’s very flattering that people would want to work with me,’ she said. ‘But I don’t post online for people to have ads in their face.
‘I want people to watch me and trust every word I say. There’s enough selling online.’
Anna previously told AFR that she considers her affordably priced skincare products, which cost between $23 and $30, as ‘a way to give back’ to her fans.
