Is this even remotely accurate?

Jenna being number 1 and Tera being number 2 doesn't surprise me.

The list doesn't strike me as implausible, but comparing a company owner who is retired as a performer and someone who gets most of her income from feature dancing to currently active pornstars is a bit odd.
BTW I wonder how many data points went into that list. Did they check Traci Lords for instance, since retired pornstars also count? I imagine she must have been handsomely paid for her appearances in mainstream movies.
As for contract girls, I have no idea how much the average contract is worth. Is Hillary Scott's 250 k/y contract exceptional?
i also wonder about the Japanese AV star. After all, it seems that one of the reasons American and Euro pornstars do appear in Japanese movies but not the other way around is because Japanese stars make much more money that American/Euro stars.
Talking about Euro stars, I also image that the likes of Monica Sweetheart must be financially in the same ball park as American stars.
In sum, while the list seems reasonable enough (although I admit to being somewhat surprised at seeing Houston in the list), t looks was put together by combining some data that the list author happened to have available.

No. It's based on the few stars who have publicized (or had publicized for them) some portion of their income.

I wish Belladonna was on that list
She would deserve to be higher paid than Tera Patrick and Jenna Jameson.

Well Jenna and Tera are not just porn stars, they're porn enterprizes, so I don't see what's the point in comparing them to those that just perform or even to those that both perform and direct.

that list is bullshit. Its not a list of highest paid porn stars. Jenna & Tara own pieces of the companies they work for. They do like 2 films a year. So according to jenna she makes $15 million a film. Yeah ok, and you just woke up.
List me purely on a movie per movie basis. Then you'll have your highest paid.
And Tara dosen't deserve to be on the list.
mod: snipped the post - per the Forum Etiquette, please don't talk about performers as if they aren't here.

People with the most money, hang onto it much tighter.

I would think it would depend on how many flicks they do.
Jenna Jameson is pretty weak porn if you ask me.
High budget stuff is usually pretty lousy IMO.

weak porn = mass appeal = most money = highest paid
make sense?
