Reno Gold Turns 30 in Brazil, Opens Up About OnlyFans, Growth, and What’s Next

Reno Gold didn’t plan to celebrate his 30th birthday in Rio de Janeiro. The destination came together the way many of his favorite moments do: casually, communally, and with a willingness to say yes before overthinking it.

“My friend Yanni told me a group of guys I’m friends with was going,” Gold said. “I didn’t know much about Rio but decided to tag along.”

That group included fellow creators and close friends Peachy Boy, Max, Gael Jacob, Chase Parker, afitness_x, and Yanni Nicolau. “When you get the opportunity to hang with them, you take it,” he added.

What followed became less of a milestone spectacle and more of a rare pause, one that blended reflection, indulgence, and a kind of presence Gold says he’s only recently learned to accept. A Soft Landing in a City That Flows

Gold’s first moments in Brazil set the tone. “I gave Yanni the biggest hug and got Nusa for breakfast,” he said, laughing.

That ease carried through the trip. Known for its heat, movement, and openness, Rio offered a rhythm that matched where Gold finds himself now. “I’m very go-with-the-flow, and for me Rio is the best place to flow,” he said. “People are open, things are casual, and everything is stunning, from the people to the trails overlooking Ipanema.”

Turning 30 didn’t arrive quietly. Gold describes the emotional weight in waves. “Pure existential dread, then sweet moments of connection,” he said. “It reminded me that living in the now is all that matters.”

Midnight Water, Fireworks, and Letting Go

One moment from the trip stands above the rest. “Participating in Rio’s tradition of running into the ocean at midnight,” Gold said. “The government sent out an advisory not to because of dangerous waves. We fought for our lives under the fireworks. Truly unforgettable.”

The trip wasn’t built around cameras or posting schedules, which made it stand out. “Normally you’re filming so much you barely hang,” he said. “This was really just a holiday of friends. It felt good to be included in that.”

That didn’t mean complete restraint. “I couldn’t help but get into a little mischief,” he added, grinning. Confidence, Speedos, and Unplanned Content

Brazil’s reputation for body confidence didn’t intimidate Gold, it amplified what he already carries. “I bring confidence everywhere I go,” he said. “This time it was in a Brazil speedo with my hottest friends, all matching.”

Despite the setting, content creation wasn’t the focus. “It happened naturally,” he said. “Content wasn’t our priority, which somehow made what we got even better.”

Even indulgence felt communal. “We said ‘fuck it’ the whole trip and always got dessert,” Gold said. “Chase Parker even made me a birthday cake.” A Shift in How He Shows Up

With a massive OnlyFans following, Gold says his relationship to his work has changed with time. “I learned that warmth isn’t weakness,” he said. “Connection can be safe anywhere if you allow yourself to be open.”

Earlier in his career, usefulness was his shield. “If we weren’t filming or talking strategy, I didn’t feel comfortable,” he said. “I always feel a need to be useful.”

Rio disrupted that instinct. “Everyone genuinely just wanted to spend time together,” he said. “That meant a lot to me.”

While OnlyFans remains central to his career, Gold is clear it isn’t the final destination. “It’s my stepping stool to something greater,” he said. “My true passion is fashion. I’m working on a line now. You’ll be seeing a shift soon.” Discipline Behind the Fantasy

Fans may see freedom, but Gold emphasizes structure. “It becomes your life,” he said. “What you eat, how you train, where you go, it all matters because you are your image.”

Behind the scenes, the workload is relentless. “Editing, scheduling, building connections, it takes a lot of time,” he said. “It’s more than full time.” Stability Over Flash

Gold’s drive to build beyond social media comes from childhood instability. He recalls financial highs followed by sudden collapses, frequent moves, and moments when opportunities disappeared overnight.

“I always knew I didn’t need a lot,” he said. “I want peace and stability over flash and high stakes.”

That mindset pushed him into real estate early, flipping homes and investing in multiple properties with support from his parents. “They’ve always told me, ‘Do as I say, not as I do,’” Gold said. “They helped me build a real estate empire. I’m very lucky.” Looking Forward, Not Slowing Down

Turning 30 didn’t make Gold cautious, it made him selective. “Life is short,” he said. “Maybe I’m one-third through. Maybe it’s my last day. I won’t waste time on anything that isn’t aligned with how I feel.”

That clarity is shaping his next chapter, which includes fashion, music, photography, and long-form projects exploring masculinity and vulnerability. “OnlyFans gave me autonomy and power,” he said. “But it was never the destination.”

As he steps into this decade, Gold isn’t chasing visibility alone. He’s building authorship, community, and a life that feels steady.

“If something costs me my peace or my truth,” he said, “it’s too expensive.”
