I traveled the world on private jets and bought expensive designer items, but gave it all up to live on a farm with goats — here's why I'll never go back
Sophie Rain, a 21-year-old US model who claims to have earned AU$126.22 million selling raunchy photos and videos, once lived a jet-set life of private planes and luxury goods. Now she has swapped that world for a quiet 20-acre Florida farm, where she tends cows and goats and finds herself grounded by the simple rhythms of rural life. She says she will never return to the glamour she once flaunted.

From food stamps to fortune: a childhood memory shapes a surprising present
Rain recalls a difficult beginning, saying, “I grew up living on food stamps and so I’m very lucky to have the life I have today and I never take that for granted.” Today she sees travel and wealth as a privilege she uses to help others, but she remains grateful for where she started and the chance to give back.
The farm is the future: a sanctuary from the influencer spotlight
The influencer lifestyle can be intense, she explains, to the point that she can hardly walk into a shop without being recognized. The farm offers a counterbalance—an anchor, a place to feel “grounded.” She describes the farm as her future home and envisions living there with a future husband, returning to travel and friendships but always finding her way back to the land.
The animals, the routine, and the slow life: milk, goats, and a koi pond
Sophie’s 20-acre sanctuary hosts six cows (two rescues), chickens, and a koi pond. She names her cows Milkshake and Pancake—rescues she didn’t expect to nurture. The two baby goats she keeps on her farm are named Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and she bottles-feed them as part of her daily routine. This is a life she says keeps her sane amid the pressures of social media.
Luxury redefined: mud under boots, eggs in the morning, and sunsets at night
“There’s something grounding about farm life,” she says. “All I want is to live a simple life.” She describes her ideal day as barefoot in the grass, collecting eggs, and cooking a homemade meal while watching the sunset in sweatpants. Luxury handbags no longer excite her; instead, she finds joy in cows, dogs, chickens, and pigs, and in the quiet moments that money can’t buy. She plans to stay connected to the world but remains devoted to her Florida farm and the simple happiness it provides.
