i'm anxious to see this. Jodie Moore is an all-time personal fav. maybe it'll come up on youtube. by any chance can you tell us the network it's on (maybe i can watch it on their website) regarding the listaholic.com article, Maria Takagi, the Japanese AV star being the 3rd highest money maker was the biggest suprise to me... $2.6 million dollars for 30 films, earning an average of more than $86,000 dollars per film. i'm alot more impressed with Maria than the Jenna and Tera numbers since their wealth is more based off sales numbers than their personal worth as a performer.
"The Insider" is a NOT a network show, but is programmed/picked-up by local stations, so it airs at different times depending upon where you live. However, "The Insider" does have a website. I'm not sure, but it's something easy like "www.TheInsider.com." You may be able to get the local station of the show for your local area from the website.
+1. The reason I'm interested in this topic (as I've said above)is because pay is an indicator of "perceived value" by the Money People in the industry. IMO, it's the only professional measurement that counts.
Jenna Jameson Made a Cool 40+ Mill$ For The Sale Of Her Co Making her by far the highest paid of all time and never to be topped .

well, i guess that might depend on your perspective. Maria Takagi, the Japanese AV star being the 3rd highest money maker @ $2.6 million dollars for 30 films, earning an average of more than $86,000 dollars per film. according to IAFD, [ invalid url ] has roughly 137 vids to her credit. plus 4 as a director. so, if you figure $86,000 per vid for Maria Takagi and multiply that by, let's just round to 140 vids.... = $12,040,000. now, let's figure how much of ClubJenna did Jay own and how much of the $40 million dollar pie did he get? and do we know if there's anyone else claiming part of that pie? investors, attorneys, debtors, etc.? if we're looking at pure value, i'd still have to say Maria Takagi wins. and that's a very objective opinion because i am not now nor have i ever been a fan of hers. i've actually barely heard of her.
Sorry for just randomly jumping in, but... ..just curious, do the performers get paid extra for appearing in a compilation dvd? It would kind of suck, as far as earnings go, to be paid for a scene once, while that same scene gets released on multiple comp dvd's... And this has been brought up earlier - Porn Valley is nothing like Hollywood... I understand that to an extent, but I am curious if that is really a good thing or not, or just neccessary. Personally, I would think that making movies, even porn, is profitable because of the performers more so than producers or directors, so imo the performers should be the ones getting paid the most... and I might be wrong, but isn't that how Hollywood mostly works? I know (or think?) the argument is that without the producers, there is no film to buy, so since the producers make the film possible, they deserve their bigger cuts. Idk, but I agree with Miss DeArmond, lol, the world may never know.
^Performers do not get paid extra for appearing in a compilation DVD. Well, maybe they do if they own the company, but most performers don't own the company.

Will somebody make Taylor St. Claire the highest paid performer and offer her some nice cheese for a massive blowbang? Maybe that will get her back in the game. When I win the lottery I'm going to offer her straight up $10 000 for 10 cocks to suck and jerk...maybe that will work. If Audrey Bitoni isn't one of the highest paid pornstars then something is wrong. When you're that much prettier than everybody else and you clearly enjoy your work giving 100% for every scene you deserve more money.

Thanks Sandy, for the honest statements. There are too many topics in the forum about this issue but pornstars do not want to explain their gainings. I have listened maybe more than 20 interviews with pornstars and the interviewers also do not ask about their gainings. I think it is not a fault and we are not tax inspectors.

For all we know he could be talking about something like Houston 500 or the sequels or the world's biggest anal creampie gangbang or something of the sort. Sure it's one movie but I don't think we're talking about 20k for a couple of girl/boy pop on her chest type scenes.
