What's so shocking about that? She only filmed a couple of scenes.

She made more in filming what 5 or 6 scenes then many Americans make in half a year. And she's complaining? What a ditzy broad!

The weird thing is all the people on Twitter actually feeling sorry for her because she says she only made $12K, as if that's not a lot of money for the short amount of time she was doing porn. They obviously expected that she should be a millionaire just from shooting a handful of scenes. She's playing the victim game well.

I think the main problem are the stigma about doing porn, basically it wasn't worth it

Not worth it? Where else could she have made that much money in such a short period of time? Had it not been for porn, no one would know who she is and we wouldn't even be having this conversation about her. Instead, she is capitalizing from the popularity she got from porn. If she really felt it wasn't worth it, then she would quietly retire into private life like almost every other girl does upon leaving porn. The fact that she still tries to keep herself in the public eye using her porn identity really undermines any claims of her work in porn not being "worth it."

The problem are the consequences , she could lose a regular job based on "moral standards" because she did porn, she can work with children or any other public activity due to her "bad influence" ,she could find problems with the bank , a couple years ago it was reported that some banks were closing accounts and refusing clients over "moral issues" , she could be forced to leave her house on the same grounds.

The problem isn't how much she made is actually how much she's going topay and for how long,so no $ 12,000 weren't worth it

roughly around $ 400 per scene , makes sense, unless I'm mistaken she only made regular BG scenes , no anal ,no DP she made some IR but apparently she didn't get any big money from those

Also she didn't shoot for any of the big companies like Brazzers, Digital Playground, etc. And she was a rookie so 400 a scene seems fair. If she worked a whole year she could of made about 50k.

Other questions are:

(1) Did she make "Mia Khalifa" a brand or at least try to?

(2) Did she feature dance, i.e meet her fans?

(3) What was her social media presence? Twitter? Instagram? Facebook? Website? Blog? YouTube? etc. i.e. interaction with her fans

(4) Did she attend AEE/AVN or any of the other industry shows i.e. meet and interact with her fans?

Even if she did those are collateral activities porn related but her earnings right from porn wouldn't change , the one prifiting of her "brand" is the one who owns that site devoted to her and it's not Mia .
She stayed in the business three months only so not even enough to be profiting out her "brand" because as usual they make the newbies work a lot for a standard wage especially those with star potential like Mia was (very big natural tits? this is going to be huge!) so that they could get as many scenes as possible before che makes a "brand" and could ask for more money.

So her "brand" didn't help her while she was still performing and certainly didn't help her after porn as she mentioned several difficulties trying to find a mainstream job , which lead us to her "brand" in feature dancing, webcamming and so, apparently she wasn't doing such thing she was trying to get out of porn for good and searched a normal job, but since she made a name for herself in just three months , a "brand" as you put it she couldn't find any she was easily recognized and exposed

^ It sounded like she wanted to try it but the fancy of having a Lebanese-American Pornstar faded.

I used to work in a porn store that rented and sold videos. In the beginning, she was all the rage. We couldn't keep any of her titles on the shelf. The owner had to purchase at least of 3 her titles when they came out to keep our customers happy.

Then, the "next" new big Pornstar arrived and Mia was totally forgotten.

It's a fickle business porn is.

She is making good money off of her porn notoriety.

Net worth is 3-4 million, according to this:

https://wealthygorilla.com/mia-khalifa-net-worth/#forward


Also has 16.8 million followers on IG and 2.8 million followers on Twitter.

^ Now, that's what I'm talking about!

$12K off shooting porn scenes only but $3M to $4M through "branding" and social media.

Again , you are all confusing her with the one exploiting her brand and actually OWNING her scenes her Site her everything

and this is someone with a name , the true point here is the all those obscure stars aren't getting more than just $ 4,000 per month over porn but with lifetime consequences

^ No, I'm not. Pornstars do not "own" their scenes. The studios do.

Oh by the way, if she had paid money for a webmaster to create her site, she does own her site.

Now, I'm not sure if she registered her site with the government or not, but here in Canada, websites that generate income must be registered with the government for tax purposes.

My site is still registered with the government and no one else can use that name. It is mine and I own it.

I know as I've had my own site and I own the content. However, I did pay an annual fee for the same webmaster to maintain my site, whether it be to ensure security (SSL upgrades), or any Paypal upgrades, etc.

Then she's not making any incomes from her "brand" she doesn't own her site .

I don't know why people keep saying she's profiting from her "brand" so it's not just $ 12,000 since her brand has a value of $ 4.000,000 , but here's the thing as explained very well by Tasha Reign unless you stay in the business full time with a plan to make your brand work, it's entirely possible she didn't make anything else, she quit the Industry for good 5 years ago , all the money made during that time didn't go in her direction

That op-ed reflects the jealousy/hatred that some in the industry have of her: "You can't call her a pornstar...she only did like 5 scenes!"

On a totally unrelated note...Lana Rhoades is still active?

I believe she still posts OnlyFans type content, but she hasn't shot for any company in a while. I know there's people that don't consider that as being active, though.


Also, while that XBiz article is super petty in general, the way in which they went at her for the Hijab video is, well, it's a lot. Whomever wrote this really, really doesn't like her and made this personal.

Lana's turned to being one of those IG "influencers" and doing random shit on her youtube channel with her husband instead.

Mia from her Twitter about her site:

"I do not own the site/profit from it any way. I've never seen a penny from it. All I've wanted these last years is for the site to be changed from my direct name. (Porn) corporations prey on callow young women & trap them legally into contracts when they're vulnerable."

It seems a little biased , even though the Author mentions several times her alleged an relatively low earnings actually never addresses the issue , it's only goal seemed to prove she wasn't a misguided and exploited naive little girl and that she wasn't actually a real pornstar , also her fame came up after a provocative shoot but nothing more.

This wouldn't explain her constant presence on the top position of the charts the Author mentioned , for years even above some superstars (and true pornstars) like Riley Reid and Abella Danger

Why?
Also not sure what Nia could say about her it was 5 years ago and wasn't in the business yet , she doesn't even know her
Very little more since those are the lowest paid scene in the business

Except that the companies she shot with/contracted herself with (Score, Bangbros) rarely, if ever, shoot G/G. Her not shooting it had nothing to do with any of her complaints.

I'd like to know what she meant exactly maybe the fact that she quit and she shouldn't have considering how big her brand has grown , even with such a small number of scenes, with nothing but vanilla stuff and yet it's still a big one after 5 years and working only in Florida
Can you imagine what could have been if she continued or just moved to LA?
So many girls struggle working literally their ass off every day trying to build themselves a brand and beginning to really earn some good money , even the stars trying to stay relevant over the years .Mia did that almost effortlessly and stayed relevant for years doing nothing , and throw all her potential away quitting after just three months

Maybe it's that

EDIT
I really hate my new keyboard , it's hard sometimes even though I did type what I needed to type some letters are missing sometimes I can't find entire words in my posts, it's annoying I think I'm going to throw it away with gusto

^ 'She says she has ... unsuccessfully tried for years to get her videos removed from a number of adult sites."

"Those 11 videos will haunt me until I die, and I don't want another girl to go through that - because no one should."

New 21yo busty cutie Mia Callista/Mia Khalifa

Regarding "the world only listens to you", anti-porn activists and the mainstream media love a young attractive former porn actress saying she was taken advantage of and deeply regrets what she did.

It´s not only the antiporn-activists ; there is also her enduring popularity factor which still places her among the top 5 of the PH rankings ( seen last month ) .
