Ianculescu’s athletic career began as a member of the Canadian junior national speed skating team in 2011. Over the years, she represented Canada at various junior championships and even competed on the World Cup circuit as a senior skater, specializing in the 500m and 1000m distances.ย
Her journey took an unexpected twist when, in 2016, she decided to represent Romania in long track speed skating, eventually competing in the women’s 500 meters at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Following her participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics, Ianculescu decided to transition from speed skating to cycling and relocate to Europe for training.ย
However, making this transition and pursuing her dreams came with its financial challenges. Given that the Canadian cycling team operates at an amateur level, funding is essential for an athlete like Ianculescu.
In 2021, Alexandra Ianculescu turned to the unconventional platform, OF. This subscription-based social media platform is known for allowing users to sell or purchase original content.ย
Ianculescu’s choice to monetize her presence on OF by sharing bikini photos and exclusive content turned out to be a game-changer.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star, she revealed, “It’s helping me survive, pay my rent, pay for groceries, and it covers the cycling and the coffee bills.” Her bold move into the world of OF proved not only financially rewarding but also empowering raising her annual net worth to $5 million in 2023.
Intriguingly, the idea to create an OF account stemmed from a suggestion by someone who noticed her penchant for posting bikini photos.
The initial skepticism she had was quickly dispelled when she decided to give it a try. Ianculescu’s courage to embrace this unconventional source of income has indeed paid off.
