Even though the porn industry chews up and spits out many girls each year, big money attracts new talent like honey attracts flies. How much exactly? Figures range from $600 to $1,000 per scene for decent sluts and may even reach $5,000 for well-known names. But pornstars have also found many other ways to bring in extra income. Like producing and directing movies, putting their name on sex toys or migrating to Snapchat porn.
So when you add everything up, a popular performer can easily smash a million net worth milestone. Thanks to rich actors and actresses, we can finally bring you this list of the richest male and female pornstars. You’ll be surprised just how wealthy some of them are.
Danny Mountain
Net worth: $3 Million
Rocking an impressive net worth, Danny might not be at the top of the wealthiest pornstars, but his net worth is still in millions.
He’s a good-looking dude with excellent facial aesthetics and a beautiful cock. Whores would have no trouble picking him up at the bar. Thankfully, he is more intelligent than all of them.
Tommy Gun
Net worth: $2.9 Million
Known for his wild and epic sex scenes, Tommy is worthy of the Gun nickname. He goes in and out, never stopping and without any breaks. And this is why his performance earned this male performer millions of dollars. There will be no surprises if you’re familiar with Tommy or his movies.
Tommy Gun is honored and mentioned among the other wealthy pornstars. We love this guy and his Brazzers.com videos.
Sasha Grey
Net worth: $3.2 million
Sasha Grey is, first and foremost, a retired pornstar but also an actress, model, and musician. We know her as a skinny, innocent-looking brunette. The one that wasn’t afraid to indulge her kinky side on camera with BDSM, lesbian, anal, and lots of fetish sex.
Best to watch this slim whore is on Kink.com. Hopefully, she doesn’t go apeshit and try to erase her porn legacy. After all, she is now serious and business-like, pretending she never licked a dirty toilet seat or did other nasty activities.
Nikki Benz
Net worth: $3.3 Million
Nikki Benz is a Canadian MILF with Ukrainian roots that got her first work role in porn at the age of 21. So where do you go from where? Around twenty years and over 180 roles later, this slut is one of porn’s most recognizable MILFs.
Nikki has been “Penthouse Pet of the Month” and has posed for magazines like “Hustler” and “High Society.” See more of her on Brazzers.com.

His name is almost synonymous with good looks and bad boy alpha status. Choosing an alias similar to that of one of the greatest American actors, James Dean, has benefits.
Johnny Sins
Net worth: $3.6 Million
I think many of us know and love this bald stud. Johnny is one of the most famous male pornstars around. At 40+ years old, Sins has performed since 2006 and has appeared in more than 300 films.
Most of which were made for Brazzers.com.
Asa Akira
Net worth: $3.6 million
Asa Akira debuted in the adult industry as a dominatrix at the tender age of 19, well before becoming a stripper and later a pornstar. Akira has appeared in more than 300 scenes and movies in the last 12 years, including many rough sex ones.
As one of the richer female pornstars, Asa has been nominated over 80 times for her work, bringing home 32 industry awards. She was a regular on Brazzers.com before going “mainstream,” aka starting to bash as if porn is the biggest evil in the world.
Jenna Haze
Net worth: $3.7 million
A gorgeous and busty babe, Jenna Haze was a pornstar up until 2015. During a 14-year stint, she won almost a dozen awards and appeared in over 500 scenes and films.
Now wealthy, Jenna started as a stripper at 18, then turned to porn one year later. Lastly, she has 14 movies to her name as a director and operates her very own production company named “Jennaration X Studios.” Good for her to take all the juicy cash and retire without much drama.
Lisa Ann
Net worth: $3.9 million
Born in 1972, Lisa Ann is among the most recognizable MILFs (and soon-to-be GILFs) in the world. Even though she’s not the richest female pornstar, Lisa still has a cool $4 million in the bank, all thanks to more than 350 adult roles for studios like Brazzers.com or RK.
Nowadays, she’s busy running her sports and fantasy podcast, but she still occasionally appears at various adult industry conventions.
Manuel Ferrara
Net worth: $4 Million
At 44, Manuel Ferrara is among the most successful and wealthiest male pornstars. We always appreciated his masculine (rugged) looks, and just so it happens, the audience did too. Manuel has a dozen aliases, including Manu and Gaussian. The acting credits alone include over 1,500 movies filmed with well-known babes for top porn studios.
You can see him in action on EvilAngel.com.
Lexington Steel
Net worth: $4.36 Million
Lexington Steele is among the richest at around 50 years old, a businessman, adult performer, and director. Even better, one of the better-endowed pornstars, too, with a 12-inch cock. Being a stockbroker in the early days, Lexington knew how to hustle.
That was well before debuting in 1996 and dedicating his time to banging whores on camera. Since then, Steel has starred in more than 5,000 scenes. See this black stud on EvilAngel.com.
Keiran Lee
Net worth: $4.8 Million
Porn superstar Keiran Lee is a 36-year-old English adult actor working exclusively for the adult industry giant Brazzers.com.
He is probably the only guy in the world to have a million-dollar insurance policy on his cock. I bet the crazy headline caused a massive boost to his viewership numbers when every trashy newspaper wrote about the deal. Lee has starred in over 2,000 scenes and movies, more than half for Brazzers.
Bree Olson
Net worth: $5.5 million
Born in 1986, Bree Olson is a Texan blonde who has starred in more than 280 movies, many of them available on Twistys.com.
This “Penthouse Pet of the Month” is perhaps most famous for her relationship with Charlie Sheen, a goldmine for tabloid journalists worldwide. Since retiring from porn in late 2011, Bree starred in a few horror movies such as “Director’s Cut” and “The Human Centipede 3”.
Ron Jeremy
Net worth: $7 Million
The scruffy-looking old dude might not be familiar to the younger generation, but he is none other than the legend Ron Jeremy. The owner of a massive hog and millions in cash. Among the richer pornstars too.
Now at over 60 years old, Jeremy has acted or directed more than 2,000 porn films; not bad for “an old fart.”
Jesse Jane
Net worth: $8.1 million
Jesse Jane is among the richest female pornstars thanks to a contract with Digital Playground. Her other work includes mainstream and adult modeling and roles for a few different TV shows and movies, for example: “Middle Men,” “Entourage,” and “Bucky Larson.”

John Stagliano
Net worth: $9 Million
Pushing 66, John Stagliano worked during his career as a porn actor, producer, director, and entrepreneur. This is the man who founded EvilAngel.com studios.
John is also one of the pioneers of gonzo porn, which doesn’t sound like much now. He was a buffed Chippendales dancer and softcore model, too. Currently holds credits for more than 150 films.
Sunny Leone
Net worth: $10 million
Anyone who likes to see a hot Indian babe in action knows about Sunny Leone. Yes, one of the wealthiest females in porn is half Indian, and the title remains to this day, even though she retired in 2013. The Canadian Indian adult actress, model, and businesswoman has amassed a fantastic ten-million-dollar fortune.
Sunny started with photoshoots before becoming a “Penthouse Pet of the Year.” Shortly after, signed with Vivid.com and kicked off her porn career with hardcore roles.
Peter North
Net worth: $12 Million
At 65, Peter North is nearing his golden years and has over 2,500 porn roles behind him. But back in the heyday, during the 1980s, the second richest male performer was just as spiffy looking. Rocking a mullet, banging hot chicks, or guys left and right.
You know that all eyes are on girls most of the time. But, being a male performer requires talent, brains, dedication, and luck. Sometimes, swing both ways so that you can make ends meet. But we’re here to talk about the outliers. So, if you want to make it big in this industry and switch from private cam shows, look up to any of these performers.
Over time, he transitioned from pure porn actor to director, producer, and owner of Northstar Associates. To watch this golden-dick owner fuck, go to Vivid.com.

41-year-old Tera Patrick is an Asian American model, pornstar, and talent agent. Despite having an incredible body with some juicy big breasts, she also has a degree in nursing and microbiology.

Jenna Jameson
Net worth: $29 million
Dubbed the “Queen of Porn,” Jenna Jameson had a career spanning 15 years. Recently returned to the adult industry to do live cam shows. As the richest female pornstar, much of her fortune stems from a line of sex toys and ClubJenna. That was a site and porn company she started in 2000.
Jameson sold it to Playboy in 2006 after it became a primary adult website. They offered movies starring Jameson herself, as well as other male and female performers. She also had a role opposite Howard Stern in “Private Parts” and was married to former UFC champion Tito Ortiz.

As you can see, there’s much money to make in the porn industry. Yet only a small percent of adult actresses make it to the top, rocking the title of the greatest pornstars of all time.
Rocco Siffredi
Net worth: $270 Million
At 54 years of age, Rocco Siffredi is a living legend. He is well known to the world for his rough and wild sex scenes on EvilAngel.com.
So much so that some even consider filming with him a rite of passage in the porn industry. With 1,500+ videos in the catalog, Rocco is not just an adult star but also a director and mainstream actor. However, the most impressive thing about this male pornstar is his massive net worth. Where did it come from? Everything stems from wise investments that dwarf his colleagues and make him the richest male pornstar in the world.
