Like every career, the porn industry has its (ahem) ins and outs, which make trying to figure out how much money porn stars make something that’s hard to calculate, even for the richest porn stars. What is the average porn star salary?
Famous people are often offered huge sums to appear in porn videos. Debbie Wasserman Shultz , for example, was offered $50,000 by the porn site XHamster to appear in a video. But offers like that are not the norm.
Garion Hall, the owner of the Australian porn site AbbyWinters, explained on a Quora forum that how much an adult film star earns per video can depend on a lot of factors , such as:
Given those factors, Hall gives this breakdown of what top talent can earn per video.
Porn is one of the few industries where women can out-earn men. TheRichest.com estimates the “average male porn star only makes $30,000 a year whereas an average female performer earns $50,000.”
Female porn stars also have additional revenue streams, such as feature dancing at strip clubs, where they can earn up to $2,000 a night.
The real revenue stream for porn stars, however, is promotional work and product endorsements.
Actress Sabrina Deep writes in Quora that a savvy porn star can make up to four-to-six figures a year on promotional work alone: “Webcam, conventions, custom scenes, products testimonial, directing, producing, own brand products, escorting for some: these are just a few satellite activities which can bring large sums of money into porn stars pockets.”
There is some disagreement about the salary estimates. In an article by the Hollywood Reporter , Joanne Cachapero of the Free Speech Coalition, estimates that the average porn star makes $120,000 a year and big name stars can earn up to $200,000 a year. An Ask Men article, estimates that women can earn $100,000-$200,000 on porn, with men making on average $40,000 a year.
In a 2014 Reddit AMA , porn star Tony Hicks backed up the Hollywood Reporter’s estimate, stating that in an average year he earns about $120,000. He also stated that he does other work to supplement his income. “I do a lot of other work that I enjoy and also supplements my income,” he wrote. “I do carpentry, build movie and tv sets and props, I do lighting, camera, and rigging work for mainstream film and live events, some non-adult modeling… I live a good life :0)”
The adult industry supports highly profitable careers outside of performance. Take the case of Riley Reynolds, for example, the Miami-based porn agent who quickly became one of the most recognized names in the industry after his appearance in Hot Girls Wanted , a documentary following the journey of several amateur porn stars.
“I’m dating my girlfriend, and she broke up with me for this guy who she friend-zoned all her life, so I said, ‘Fuck you, I’m doing porn.’ And that’s how I started,” Reynolds told the Daily Dot in a Skype interview in 2015. “I represented guys for about six months and I was killing it doing that, and then I represented like my first girl and I made quadruple the money.”

The porn industry is more prolific than Kanye West trying to release an album , though its exact output numbers are well-hidden under layers of piracy, social taboo, and monopolies. This makes it hard to estimate industry averages for filming costs, but Shira Tarrant, author of The Pornography Industry , was able to give The Atlantic some rough numbers from a larger production company's shoot in Los Angeles.
In porn, unlike much else, women generally out-earn men. Tarrant said female performers can make a minimum of $300 for a solo scene, $800 for a lesbian scene, and $1000 for a straight sex scene, while male performers can expect a minimum of $200 for straight sex and $500 for gay sex. Camera operators, paid $500 to $700 per shoot, can earn more than performers, and directors rake in the most, with $5,000 paychecks.
All things considered, the money's not great. To make even $30,000 a year, a female performer could plausibly have to star in 100 films, and a male performer would have to crank out 150 movies each year. And that, no matter your metric, is a lot of porn.
This post has been updated to reflect the correct salary for a female solo scene. We regret the error.

The name Mark Spiegler, a top talent agent in a different billion dollar entertainment industry, may not ring as many bells.
That's because Spiegler represents porn stars.
While Emanuel, 51, represents talent such as Charlize Theron and Steven Spielberg; Spiegler, 54, represents top adult female stars with names like Skin Diamond, Chanel Preston and Asa Akira.
Spiegler's boutique firm, Spiegler Girls, represents a small group of elite women and is regarded as one of the industry's top agencies in the Hollywood of porn: The San Fernando Valley.
"We are the buffer — so the girl doesn't look bad. We take the heat," Spiegler told The Hollywood Reporter in their article "Inside the Risky Business of Porn Star Agents."
But while many aspects of the business are changing — from the just-passed L.A. County measure requiring condom use in adult movies to shrinking profits — 40 million to 50 million people in the U.S. are reportedly still regularly watching pornography on the Internet.
"While a decade ago the average female performer would make about $100,000 a year," Spiegler told THR "she now might make as little as $50,000 — all while juggling responsibilities such as social-media outreach and personal appearances."
But for the select few females who make it to the top of the industry, paychecks can be "upward of $350,000 a year, while top male performers can make more than $100,000 annually."
According to Dan Miller, executive managing editor of industry trade magazine XBIZ, there are about 250 "in-demand" women (called "models") who work regularly, shooting between 100 and 150 scenes per year. "A popular girl is going to work a minimum of 10 times per month," he tells THR.
According to Spiegler, there is a relatively straightforward scale for performances by an in-demand actress:
According to THR, "guy-on-guy pornography has a separate pay scale; most agents in the mainstream straight porn world, including Spiegler, do not represent gay men."
But for each gig Spiegler books for his girls, he takes 10 to 15 percent, receiving the larger percentage if he also handles transportation for the client.
None of the agents THR spoke with would reveal how much money they personally make in a year, but sources told the trade that top agents can rake in around $250,000 a year from their 10 to 15 percent takes.
"It's very competitive, and the well-known agencies do control most of the talent," added Dan Miller. "It's just like Hollywood in that regard."
And agents don't just handle the financial aspect of a deal, they also help clients set up personal websites, advise them on plastic surgery procedures, arrange for transportation to and from film sets and make sure the actors are staying on top of their mandatory drug and STD testing regimens.
But when it's all said and done, shooting the actual porn films is just a small percentage of an adult film star's job.
According to XBIZ's Miller, "about 70 to 80 percent of an actress' annual revenue is derived from movies, and the remaining 20 to 30 percent could be generated by everything from exotic dancing to sex-toy sales and personal website subscriptions."
One of the most famous adult film stars of all time, Jenna Jameson, earned an estimated $30 million per year hawking her own brand of sex toys until she sold her popular website ClubJenna to Playboy for an undisclosed fortune in 2006.
While Jameson has managed to parlay her career into a mainstream market, other adult film stars argue the pay is simply better on the other side of the 'biz.
Porn star Sunny Leone, a new Bollywood sensation, was paid a lower SAG scale rate for her work on the 2010 Will Ferrell-produced comedy "The Virginity Hit" but made about $250,000 for her role in the adult film "Jism 2."
Now watch porn stars and their agents discuss the 'biz in their own words in this behind-the-scenes video shoot from The Hollywood Reporter:

Below is a current list of a few pornstars who are available as escorts. Even though you probably know all these girls, they have all been reviewed.

(But with pornstars, reviews are not as necessary because you already have a good idea of what you’re getting.)
Also, you might notice that since this topic was first mentioned in Book a Pornstar Escort and Hiring a Pornstar Escort i t seems prices have risen a bit.
While it looks like you will have a hard time finding a porn star who escorts for only $500 per hour these days, thankfully the hourly prices are not $2,500.00 and up as they were 10 years ago.
Nina Elle Los Angeles, (November 1, to November 18)

Tia Carrera – New York, $400 per hour.
Janet Mason – Las Vegas, $1,200 per hour (Currently visiting Washington D.C.)
