Married At First Sight star-turned-porn actress Mishel Karen has shared intimate details about her... tax affairs.

The OnlyFans model, 51, told the Herald Sun she claims several 'work-related expenses' back on tax - just like any self-employed professional.

'I claim on travel expenses such as accommodation and meals since I travel for work. I also get a lot of gifts from fans and sell them afterwards,' she said.

Married At First Sight star-turned-porn actress Mishel Karen (pictured at Sexpo last week) has shared intimate details about her tax affairs. The OnlyFans model, 51, told the Herald Sun she claims several 'work-related expenses' back on tax - just like any self-employed professional 

'Lingerie is a huge expense that definitely is costly. I get a lot of my toys supplied to me,' she added. 

Mishel said that when she combines her earnings on OnlyFans with what she makes back on tax, she is raking in about $7,000 a month.

But there are several things the ATO won't approve, including boob jobs, Botox and beauty treatments, because they are considered medical procedures.

Since joining OnlyFans, an adult website popular with influencers and reality stars, Mishel has been earning more money than she's ever made in her life.

Her new career has allowed her to provide for her two children and grandchild, and to enjoy some of the finer things in life for herself.

She's known for performing more extreme acts than younger models, including a 12-person group orgy with both men and women.

She also filmed a lesbian threesome this year and sells her used underwear to fans.

Mishel has admitted the industry isn't as glamorous or real as some may think.

'I learned during Married At First Sight that there isn't much "real" in reality TV. I think the same could be said for OnlyFans - not a lot "real" in a porn video either,' she said.
