Who has made the most money from porn ?
would it be the Playboy empire, or a film
maker ?

I'd say Larry Flynt has pocketed a few nickels. Vivid ain't doing that bad, either.

There are probably hundreds if not thousands of people and companies that are worth millions thanks to the adult industry - all over the world.

In terms of the most profitable/richest? Playboy as an empire is worth around $2 billion. Although they don't deal in the type of porn commonly discussed on ADT, I can't think of another company that is worth more. Not Vivid, Wicked, or any Gonzo company.

The only other contender, in my mind, might be the largest pay-per-view porn distributor. But who knows...

That's true. In 2001, he declared his net worth to be $400 million.

Reuben Sturman reportedly made over $1m per day from all his peep booths and stores (of which he had more than Mcdonald's had restaurants.)
Now i'd say Larry Flynt is the biggest and richest pornographer in the world. I think LFP is the 3rd biggest privatly owned company in America. Altough that does inlude clubs, stores and casinos so maybe if you inlude Flynt you would have to include all the cable company and hotel bosses.

LFP is nowhere near the top ten privately owned companies.

1. Cargill
2. Koch Industries
3. Mars
4. Publix Super Markets
5. Bechtel
6. PricewaterhouseCoopers
7. Ernst & Young
8. C&S Wholesale
9. Meijer
10. HE Butt Grocery

I don't quite understand your edit, but I'm guessing you mean that including ALL types of companies in the top ten would put LFP WAY down on the list.

I've heard that Ron Jeremy was one of the 1st millionaire performers. Most likely came from all the money he saved on waxing.

OK well i read it somewhere. The edit was because if a list of all companies profiting from porn was made, LFP would be way down the list (Flynt doen't just do porn).

I read in either Details or Esquire about some guy who owns all these webcam porn sites and has made over 20 million to date. I think he owns that one webcam site about the college girls who all live in one house. Supposedly those girls live there for free and get their college and expenses paid for.
