Porn legend Mia Khalifa apparently didn’t make much cash at all in the adult entertainment industry.
“People think I’m racking in millions from porn. Completely untrue. I made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a penny again after that,” Khalifa tweeted in part on Monday. (SLIDESHOW: These Women On Instagram Hate Wearing Clothes)
People think I’m racking in millions from porn. Completely untrue. I made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a penny again after that. Difficulty finding a normal job after quitting porn was… scary. Full interview here: https://t.co/xHK7SmhfrY pic.twitter.com/fwJlyzHznq

She added that she was “never promised ‘millions’, nor do I expect it.” (SLIDESHOW: 142 Times Josephine Skriver Barely Wore Anything)
To clarify, I was never promised “millions”, nor do I expect it. I’m just clarifying common misconceptions about me, and in turn, about the industry.

I was involved in porn so briefly, but my actions spread like wildfire, and I continue to be ranked (truly baffles me) 5 years after leaving the industry. This is why people think I still perform.

Here’s a live look at my reaction to learning Mia Khalifa, one of the most famous women to ever do porn, made a grand total of $12,000. (SLIDESHOW: 71 Times Samantha Hoopes Stripped Down)
That number is shockingly low. Shockingly low! Yes, she wasn’t involved with porn for a very long time, but we’re talking about a woman that shot to the top of the industry in a matter of weeks, if not days. (SLIDESHOW: This Blonde Bombshell Might Be The Hottest Model On The Internet)
To tell you how successful she’s been, she parlayed a porn career into a sports show and a gigantic social media following. (SLIDESHOW: 60 Times Abigail Ratchford Wore Almost Nothing)
That’s not common at all.

I know a few women in the porn industry (let’s not make a big deal out of the fact I know porn stars), and they make some serious money.
Now, they’re not making Hollywood level money you get from blockbuster films, but they’re damn sure making more than $12,000. That much is for sure.

Hopefully, Khalifa is making a bit more cash these days because $12,000 for your entire porn career is pitiful.
I honestly don’t understand how she even made such a little amount, but here we are.
