‘I wasn't even naked': Unique way 35-year-old makes money
Ms Lynx, 35, has been in the industry for a decade now, and she's found a pretty wild way to ensure that her work doesn't become stale.
She's found an interesting niche online, creating what she describes as 'crazy custom' videos for men, and it's probably not what you're thinking.
The 35-year-old does everything from role-playing as a magic genie to filming a video with self-effects so it looked like she was multiplying on screen.
She's also done a video in which she spends the entire time pretending to be swallowed up by quicksand, and she's even gotten her snout involved.
'I once did a 20-minute custom video just measuring my nose. I wasn't even naked,' she told news.com.au.
Ms Lynx explained that when people have a particular type of fantasy and request a really specific scenario, like pretending she's a genie, she often doesn't even have to take her clothes off.
'They don't care about the nudity. It is about the thing,' she said.
'I have had ballooning requests, a fetish where I had a guy send me balloons that are literally the size of a rocking chair, and I blew them all up in my living room, and I bounced on them, and that's it. There's no explicit content.'
The creator explained that people are very specific with their preferences and requests when they're asking for tailored content.
'From armpit shots and muscle flexing to feet and niche outfit combinations,' she said.
'I truly consider what I do as art, and it's honestly probably the most personal, intimate thing you could request from someone. It's so unique that it's almost irreplaceable. You can't really put a price on that kind of experience.'
Ms Lynx takes turning their fantasies into reality very seriously.
She hires directors, rents locations, hires make-up artists and works hard to make the videos look as real as possible.
'I'm super flexible. I offer different payment options and plans and I try to give people multiple ways to be part of my world,' she said.
One of the reasons Ms Lynx understands the power of visual content beyond just getting naked is her background.
She left her first corporate job, where she was earning $25 an hour, in 2014, and from there, she made $500 a day doing webcam work and filming adult videos.
Then around 2018 she started using a subscription service to create X-rated content and she's slowly but surely built up a dedicated following she's now making five figures a month.
'When people say 'overnight success takes ten years' I really relate to that. That is exactly how it has been for me,' she said.
When it comes to pricing, Ms Lynx said it really 'depends' on what someone wants, arguing that just like a coffee, the price is worked out based on how complex the order is.
'How I actually set my prices, though, has a lot to do with intuition. I've been filming customs for over 10 years,' she said.
'I've been in this business a long time. I know what feels aligned, what feels right, like I'm not undercharging, but I'm also not overcharging. I genuinely spend time getting quiet with myself and reflecting before setting those numbers.'
That doesn't mean she doesn't have a base range; she charges between $700 and $2500 for five minutes, but it depends on what people are asking for.
'I upcharge for a lot of different things depending on how complex or niche the request,' she said.
Ms Lynx credits her success and out-of-the-box thinking with the fact that she's always known she'd have to work hard to succeed.
'I'm determined, I'm motivated, I'm driven. A lot of that comes from how I grew up. There was always arguing, always stress about money,' she said.
'Constant scrimping, constant pinching. I just knew I was never going to live like that. Now, I get to not only support myself, but share amazing experiences with my family and friends, and that means everything to me.'
Earning big money has been a game-changer for the X-rated creator but mostly because she loves the 'freedom' that money can give you.
Her income is also something she needs to invest back into herself, whether that's by being able to afford healthy food to keep herself feeling good or splurging on an expensive beauty procedure.
'I take personal development courses. I buy books to learn and grow from. I work with business coaches. I can hire people like my publicist and people who support me with marketing strategy,' she said.
'On the practical side, I'm also putting a lot of money away for retirement. I invest a lot. I have my hands in a lot of different areas, whether it's the stock market, private equity, or soon, real estate,' she said.
'That's the next thing on my horizon, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that.'

Penthouse shoots for Sydney coastal suburbs record
It has been billed as the most exclusive and prestigious offering Bondi has ever seen, perched on the oceanfront and connected to the coastline. Meet Pearl Bondi the $150m project just approved for Bondi's peninsula cliffside with north-east aspect, elevation and comprising a clutch of seven luxury homes aimed at established eastern suburbs families and downsizers. And Pearl's creator, top Sydney builder developer Central Element is set to rewrite Bondi's property history with the highly anticipated release of the Pearl Penthouse – the pinnacle of the project. Set to become the coastal suburbs most exclusive and high-end residence to date, with an asking price of $30m, the ultra-luxurious apartment is expected to smash the suburb record. The previous record was $24m in 2022, for Multiplex heir Andrew Roberts' 190sqm apartment in Notts Ave, Bondi Beach. The price equated to $126,000 per sqm. MORE: Waterfront deal falls over, then sells for $2m less The 328sqm penthouse offers four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a 17m east-facing frontage with uninterrupted ocean views. Central Element managing director Nathan Chivas expects Pearl to be popular. 'At its heart is the Pearl Penthouse, the most luxurious and prestigious offering the suburb has ever seen,' Mr Chivas said. 'Every element – from the 17‑metre frontage to the timeless interiors – has been crafted to create a sanctuary that connects deeply with Bondi's coastal energy. 'It's a hidden treasure revealed only to a privileged few and we expect demand for the Pearl Penthouse to reflect the rarity of what's on offer.' Central Element has gathered talented architects, landscapers and interior designers to create Pearl Bondi, which consists of two houses fronting Sandridge St and five apartments cascading towards the coastline with access to Wilga St. Three apartments are whole-floor residences with expansive terraces while the two ground floor apartments will each have a private pool. The Torrens-title houses will also have their own private plunge pools, outdoor entertaining space and wide ocean views. One has, facing north has a traditional layout with bedrooms upstairs while the southern house has the upper level dedicated to living and dining with two balconies capturing the view. The ultra-luxury project has been designed by award-winning architects MHNDU and the homes will share almost 500sqm of landscaped communal space as well as having their own external areas – up to 86sqm. The site is more than 2000sqm in a tightly-held pocket between Bondi and Tamarama with direct access to the coastal walk. Madeleine Blanchfield, of Madeleine Blanchfield Architects, has been engaged to design the interiors of the seven homes. She is well-known and highly sought after in the Eastern suburbs. 'Our design approach for Pearl will be centred on quiet luxury and refined simplicity – using natural materials, light and texture to create homes that feel timeless, grounded and intimately connected to their coastal surrounds,' she said. Materials such as travertine, American oak, Patagonia Pink quartzite and brushed stainless steel are all on the Pearl palette. Kitchens have stone island benches and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are included. Construction on Pearl Bondi will begin in the spring of this year and completion is planned for late 2027. Central Element has already broken suburb records in Sydney's east. Last year in Coogee it made a $20m off-market sale for a three-bedroom penthouse at Ballamac House.

Victoria says $776 million treaty negotiations claim ‘cherry-picked', but $308 million spent since 2020
The Victorian government has hit back at 'cherry-picked analysis' that claimed it has spent more than $776 million on treaty negotiations since 2016. The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA), a conservative think tank, on Sunday published analysis of spending items in Victorian government budget documents relating to treaty or 'self-determination' initiatives. The report claimed Victoria had spent $776.2 million on programs related to the development of a state treaty since 2016, with $100.6 million committed in the 2026 financial year alone and $220 million in the first two full financial years following the defeat of the Voice referendum. 'This is cherry-picked analysis from a Liberal Party-aligned think tank,' a Victorian government spokesperson said. 'If you listen to the people directly affected by policies, you get better outcomes — that's common sense. Treaty is about making a better and fairer state for all Victorians — negotiations are underway and we look forward to bringing Treaty to the Parliament.' The government would not confirm the IPA's figures, but noted $308 million had been invested into the Treaty since the 2020-21 budget, according to publicly available annual reports. Analysis of annual reports and budget papers by the Herald Sun put the figure at $382.4 million over the past 10 years. Some of that funding has gone into setting up the Treaty Authority, an 'independent umpire' created by the First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria and the State of Victoria to oversee the process. The Herald Sun reported in 2023 that members of the Treaty Authority panel could be paid a salary of up to $380,000 per year plus expenses if they worked full-time. The Victorian government first committed to advancing a treaty with Indigenous Victorians in 2016. Negotiations formally began in November 2024, and Victoria plans to finalise a treaty by the end of the 2026 financial year. Victoria would be the first Australian jurisdiction to negotiate a formal treaty with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. But the IPA said Victorians remained largely in the dark about what a treaty would entail, despite the hundreds of millions of dollars spent and hundreds of meetings held since 2017 in preparation for negotiations. 'Despite the Victorian government spending in excess of $776 million on secret treaty negotiations, mainstream Victorians are none the wiser as to what special rights and reparations it will grant to some Victorians based solely on race,' IPA research fellow Margaret Chambers said in a statement. The report noted that between July 2016 and June 2025, 727 meetings had been held by the Victorian government in relation to the development of a treaty — but just four public statements had been issued and the 'substance of these negotiations remains largely undisclosed'.That number included meetings between First Peoples' negotiating parties and the state of Victoria to negotiate or prepare for Treaty agreements, and meetings with departments to support whole of Victorian government co-ordination and engagement in Treaty negotiations. 'The Victorian government is not being honest and upfront with Victorians about its plan to divide the community by race,' Ms Chambers said. 'With a treaty scheduled to be finalised in the next 12 months, and despite the volume of secret meetings over the past decade, very little is known about what this treaty will entail. 'Any treaty will fundamentally change Victoria's legal structure and will likely require already financially stretched Victorian taxpayers to pay billions of dollars to activists aligned to the Allan government. 'Yet, for a government which operates one of the most sophisticated and well-funded spin machines ever seen, just four statements, totalling 1588 words, have been released on the Allan government's plan to divide Victorians by race.' Recent IPA analysis claimed the monetary compensation, tax relief and litigation which would flow from a treaty in Victoria based on the landmark Yoorrook report would be in excess of $48 billion annually. 'Victorians voted against racial division at the Voice referendum,' Ms Chambers said. 'Jacinta Allan is demonstrating complete and utter contempt for the Victorian people, and our democracy, by pursuing this treaty that will divide and cripple Victoria. 'With all the problems that Victoria faces, the last thing the community needs is a two-tiered legal system where some have special rights and get special government payments. Every Victorian should be treated equally under the law.'
