Influencer Daniella Motta has revealed her highly niche and surprisingly profitable side hustle: popping balloons for fans with inflatophilia, a balloon-related fetish.
The 21-year-old Brazilian model and content creator, who has over 50,000 followers on Instagram (@danimotta__), says she earns around £24,000 ($30,000) a month from the unusual kink.
Her journey into the fetish world started when a fan requested a video of her popping a balloon with her bum. At first, Daniella assumed it was a birthday request.

I thought they wanted me to say happy birthday or something,” she said. But when similar requests kept coming, she realised this was no party trick it was a full-blown fetish.
Inflatophilia is a kink where people find sexual gratification in inflatables, including balloons, pool toys, or blow-up dolls.
Daniella says she now pops more than 20 balloons a week for paying customers, offering tailored videos where she rubs, caresses, inflates, or bursts them by hand or body.
I take requests seriously and respect each person’s fetishes,” she said, adding that the demand has brought in a strong financial return.
She recently posted a photo of herself on a bed surrounded by balloons, explaining in the caption the growing popularity of inflatophilia and inviting followers to open up about their own fetishes.
The post drew hundreds of likes and comments, with fans calling her “beautiful,” “wonderful,” and even “rich mommy.”
Though unconventional, Daniella says she’s proud of her unique success and has no regrets. “I offered what they asked for, and I saw the reach and positive results. I don’t regret it.”
