Anyhow, this is a top 10 list of retired pornstars. Hopefully, some of these will be returning to the industry in one way or another.

#23 Chloe Foster

It’s easy to retire when you’re left with millions in the bank account, which is the case with those extremely popular pornstars. Then they spew nonsense about how porn ruined their lives, despite staying for 30 years, as they sit inside their private Ferraris or boats.

Then, there are cases like Chloe Foster’s, where she retired, came back, and then retired again. You could call that an ultimate combo. I bet you want to know the reasons, right? My guess would be money.

#22 Luci Thai

What’s up with this (now-retired) pornstar? I don’t think Luci has ever gathered crowds of millions, yet everyone is obsessed. At least on the Internet, you demanded a mention, and here’s one. Thai has fun spreading that Asian butthole, getting stuffed with nice gravy on top.

Luci Thai retired a few years ago, and it’s hard to tell what she’s up to now. Some pornstars go to promote their streaming profiles or podcasts, while Thai continues to be tight-lipped. Oh, and I don’t mean pussy lips.

#21 Nyomi Banxxx

Recently retired pornstar Nyomi Banxxx called it quits in 2016. She spent ten years in porn and got her big black ass and pussy pounded too many times to count.

After retiring from the porn industry, this curly Nubian beauty has found her place on the radio. What does she talk about? We don’t care or have any interest in finding out. However, you can see Nyomis’s porn scenes on RealityKings.com. That’s the most important bit.

#20 Carli Banks

How bad do you want Carli Banks to return? Probably everyone who remembers this tasty little slut. She’s a masterpiece in every sense, from cute little butt to filth-sucking pussy; she looks like a 2000s Barbie. I can’t put my finger on it, but it strongly resembles one of Hollywood’s most famous people.

Do you know what I’m talking about? Let Carli stay in this position because our pants are already down to the ankles. Let’s make a giant mess.

#19 Bobbi Starr

A famous kinky pornstar and adult movie director, Bobbi Starr retired in 2014 after eight years of hard work. Without a doubt, her best and wildest work is on the DogFartNetwork.com

If you can dream, Bobbi can achieve it, and you have videos of enemas, anal, BDSM, and more. This smutty brunette was rather popular until her inevitable retirement.

#18 Anna Bell Peaks

Another one bites the dust, and man, was it a painful retirement for many of Anna’s fans. Known for her wild looks, epic tattoos, and great proportions, the “red-haired” slut left the porn industry a few years ago. I’m not sure what she does now, but it’s related to parenting and other nonsense. So yes, that was also the reason why Anna Bell Peaks retired.

There are many memorable scenes on Brazzers.com that we still stream occasionally.

#17 Jenna Haze

You know it will be good when Jenna’s Wikipedia page says she’s a model and an American director. To cut a long story short, Haze quit porn in 2012 via a random YouTube video and launched a porn studio in 2009 to “direct” things.

Many of us miss Jenna, and while some hardcore fans will make you believe she’s talented in other areas, I’ll say otherwise. Just browse the awards list; all are from 2003 to 2009. All the later ones from 2010 to 2011 were mostly a form of “hall of fame” or some other nonsense. In other words, this is no Stephen Spielberg.

#16 Belladonna

Starting at the age of 18, nasty little brunette Belladonna made a career out of her kinks from 1999 to 2012. During her 13 years in the adult industry, this pornstar filmed over 140 filthy scenes and won many awards. Unfortunately, Belladonna will likely spend the next 20 years healing the wrecked asshole.

Fans could watch her enjoying everything from interracial anal, gangbangs, and throat fucking to wild lesbian scenes. There’s not a wilder babe among retired pornstars.

#15 Alina Li

Sneaky Asians retiring before the virus outbreak, Alina Li is too famous and has plenty of followers on social media accounts. Unfortunately, she left the industry just recently, and 2020 will be a hard year without such a dirty slut. Alina loved aggressive, sneaky, and chill sex, like every other individual.

It was never about looks, as it’s no special deal. What mattered to us relied on how she handled cock, pushed males to their limits, and made our trousers sweat. She’s no sweet, school cheerleader-type woman.

#14 Sylvia Saint

Let’s give it up for the world’s most famous pornstar from the 90s! Sylvia Saint was on everyone’s CRT displays and old television sets. Clean your parents’ basement; there will be at least a VHS tape or two of this blond jewel.

It’s like describing Pamela Anderson; everyone knows her. Sadly, I almost forgot about Sylvia, and it just goes to show that top 10 lists like these help us remember the very best. There’s no competition, zero.

#13 Mia Khalifa

Originally from Lebanon, Mia Khalifa moved to the US at a young age, later becoming a pornstar. Starting at 21, the sensational slut with huge boobs made a name for herself on $0 XVideos Premium but ultimately retired four years later.

People fell in love with her, and it was gone so soon, a few months later. Mia is also notable for receiving death threats from ISIS.

#12 Jesse Jane

After the intense success on DigitalPlayground.com, Jesse was one of the most famous, richest, and successful pornstars around. In a few years, the kinky blond hypnotized our dicks and hearts with intense fuck sessions and sexual energy.

Then, as with all good things, they come to an end. Jesse retired a few years ago and then announced his return to the adult business in 2019. Sadly, we didn’t think it would last more than a year, which was a correct assumption. Her looks are gone now, very much so.

#11 Lisa Ann

Among the hottest MILFs, Lisa Ann is one of the greatest retired pornstars on our planet. So you can imagine the millions of fans following this legendary babe. I mean, she did not shoot porn for a year or two; it was a marathon of many cocks.

The last video that the team on Brazzers.com has put up was one of the most spectacular sex parties we have seen.

#10 Bree Olson

Busty blonde Bree Olson is a cute, extremely hot, and the star of many hardcore scenes on Brazzers.com.

She retired in 2011 with five years of porn experience and has since tried to break into mainstream acting. So how did that end up? Not very well. They still had little success except when starring in “The Human Centipede 3”, but that was the peak. Everything else is desirable, nevertheless.

#9 Shae Summers

When fake boobs were all fucked up and looked as good as sun-melted bubble gum, came Shae Summers with her legendary big natural tits. She broke all the viewing and popularity records, was basically The Matrix or Titanic of the porn industry. People wouldn’t shut up.

Then, after like a year or two, it was all over. The only good thing is that Shae has left quite a legacy at RealityKings.com, so you never have to browse multiple sources for that epic nostalgia trip.

#8 Jenna Jameson

Blonde goddess Jenna Jameson is among the all-time greats and the richest female pornstar as well. Appearing under names like Daisy Maze, she filmed extensively for Vivid.com.

Now, a rather old babe debuted at 19 in 1993 and joined other retired pornstars in 2008 after 15 years of shooting porn. After that, Jenna became a successful businesswoman and author, and also achieved some mainstream acting success.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned while writing this top 10, it’s that some pornstars don’t stay retired for long. Many of them return to films or at least continue their adult industry careers as feature dancers, cam girls , or whatever. So, depending on your luck and the size of your bank account, you might still be able to have fun with your favorite pornstars, even after they quit.

#7 Tera Patrick

Now 42, the small ass Asian pornstar Tara Patrick, also known as Linda Shapiro and Sadie Jordan, started in 1999. That seems like a long time ago, right? Formerly a Playboy and Penthouse model, she retired from shooting scenes in 2008 but still runs her website and a production company.

Tera is an inductee into the “AVN Hall of Fame” and has received over a dozen industry awards. Some of her best work is still available on Vivid.com.

#6 Asa Akira

Now a gamer, some random radio show personality, and more, Asa Akira has migrated from the industry that made her famous. Why was she so popular? For sucking cocks and fucking on camera, no other reason. Let that sink in, and think about it.

If it weren’t for porn, Asa would not have received any attention. For now, this is just another retired pornstar that went mainstream. We miss her dearly, and that’s not an exaggeration.

#5 Sasha Grey

Skinny, young, and extremely kinky- that’s how you know which pornstar will retire soon. Sasha Grey was a porn actress from 2006 to 2011 and made her debut at the age of 18. During that time, she put out many unforgettable scenes for Kink.com.

Since Sasha departed from the adult industry, she has written books, formed an industrial band, and starred in a few mainstream roles. Still, this hoe is good at sucking dick only and should come back.

#4 Sunny Leone

There are many retired pornstars that we miss, but none as much as Indian babe Sunny Leone. This wildly popular pornstar from Canada was active from 2002 to 2013 and shot many scenes for Twistys.com.

Since moving away from porn, Sunny has succeeded as a TV personality and Bollywood actor. We wish her the best of luck because this pornstar deserves it. The very first scene on Twistys made us fall in love with her.

#3 Gianna Michaels

Among extreme-size pornstars, if you talk tits only, Gianna is a mixed bag of good emotions. She was the default go-to for solid tit fucking videos, even deepthroats. However, that face was never a major turn-on for many streamers.

As we review the 2020s, Gianna is no longer in business and has announced her retirement. Some will miss this busty babe for sure. This is not the prettiest slut in porn. So what is one quality that will make you never forget about this pornstar?

#2 Riley Reid

Did Riley Reid retire from porn? Yes. I don’t care what the PR agency or some nonsense article says; Riley no longer does hardcore porn. Will she upload some erotica or a random solo clip to keep her income flowing? Yes, but that’s like a team racing and driving to become a janitor at Formula 1. None of that shit counts, and for all I care, Riley has long retired; there are no epic scenes, just useless filler that hasn’t even launched her career in the first place.

Also, how long will the softcore scenes continue when Riley tries to become a “tech” or “media” person with startup launches, useless talk, etc.?

#1 Leah Gotti

Oh, how much we miss this retired pornstar, one of our favorites too. Leah had so many epic scenes; everyone had something different. It’s like watching your favorite actor reenact various personas.

It would be a lie if I told you we haven’t lusted over Leah Gotti this month. You can catch us often browsing through her portfolio on Brazzers.com and reliving old days.

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 by 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 who 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 who got her first work role in porn at the age of 21. So, where do you go from there? Around twenty years and over 180 roles later, this slut is one of porn’s most recognizable MILFs.

Nikki has been named “Penthouse Pet of the Month” and has appeared in magazines such as “Hustler” and “High Society.” See more of her on Brazzers.com.

Evan Stone

Net worth: $3.5 Million

53-year-old Evan Stone has starred in over 1,200 porn movies and won over two dozen industry awards. One of his more famous roles is in “Backdoor to Chyna,” featuring WWE wrestler Chyna. And to be fair, this dude rocks because, unlike many others, he continues to work. Like, imagine having millions, and you are still as cool as a cucumber, banging sluts left and right, making money, jizzing into their mouths, and getting paid.

Most of his work can be found on Vivid.com.

James Deen

Net worth: $3.5 Million

James Deen is a bad boy who loves rough sex and can’t stay away from controversy. He’s been in porn since age 18 (now 35) or since 2004. has performed in over 1,500 scenes but also directed 11 himself.

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 over 40 years old, Sins has been performing since 2006 and has appeared in more than 300 films. For Sins, however, money is not the only motivator because this guy has even appeared on YouTube channels like YeahMad, etc. Just fucking around, having fun, now that is a life I want to live.

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 richest 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, with more than half of them 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, as well as roles in several TV shows and movies, such as “Middle Men,” “Entourage,” and “Bucky Larson.”

Jesse has over 75 roles in porn to her name, with the most popular being ”Pirates of the Caribbean” parody dubbed “Pirates.” And sadly, this woman has passed away at the age of 43, back in 2024. Technically, she is no longer listed, but at least, I don’t know, a mention is a must, like a tribute now or whatever.

You can find it on DigitalPlayground.com along with other Jesse Jane scenes.

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 buff 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 substantial 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. However, back in the heyday of the 1980s, the second-richest male performer was just as dapper-looking. Rocking a mullet, banging hot chicks, or guys left and right.

You know that all eyes are on girls most of the time. However, being a male performer requires talent, brains, dedication, and a bit of 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.

Tera Patrick

Net worth: $16 million

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.

Terra is an “AVN Hall of Fame” inductee with multiple industry awards and runs her talent agency for adult performers. Tera Patrick is under the aliases Linda Shapiro, Brooke Thomas, and Sadie Jordan.

Check her out on EvilAngel.com.

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.

Find her porn videos on Vivid.com.

As you can see, there’s a lot of money to be made in the porn industry. Yet only a small percentage 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 nearly 60 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.

That wraps up our new top and gives you a good idea of how much money the top male pornstars can earn through a successful career.
