She tweets, seemingly hourly, to her more than 500,000 followers, promoting upcoming scenes, products, and details of her life.
Abella Dangerĭanger, a three-year veteran of the adult entertainment industry, has amassed a large fan base by utilizing social media to promote her brand. (Sales figures for its most viewed titles-or most popular scenes, since full-length features are less common-are closely guarded, per industry norms.) In just three years, though, Lovia has performed in more than 130 productions. When that expired, she began shooting for Greg Lansky, owner of three of the fastest growing brand names in the adult industry. The winner of DP Star, she was awarded a contract with Digital Playground (that’s the “DP”), meaning she only shot films for that production studio. Lovia rose to fame like many mainstream celebrities do these days-via a reality show. While the demographic audience for pornography has widened considerably as it has become more readily available, actresses remain the fan favorites, owing to their relative prominence. Though two men made the top 25 in terms of award nominations this year, they fell off the list once fan popularity was taken into consideration. That’s not for lack of trying-male performers were also taken into consideration. From there, a three-month average of the stars’ Trends ranking reveals the 12 highest scoring stars.Ī note: You’ll notice that all 12 stars on the list are female. The list below first determines which 25 performers have earned the most nominations in the annual Adult Video News and Xbiz awards, the industry’s two highest-profile ceremonies.
One performer says she regularly earns between $7,000 and $10,000 per feature dancing appearance, which can last a day or two. Some performers leverage their relative fame to dance in adult clubs around the country, where they not only earn considerably more, but can also sell their own merchandise. The most popular entertainers supplement these earnings by signing endorsement deals, creating customized videos for fans and, in some cases, launching their own production studios. Some can pull in $700 to $900, while the most popular male stars earn up to $1,500. (A newcomer, for comparison, could earn as little as $300.) Male performers, meanwhile, average $500 to $600 per scene or day. Top-tier female performers, however, can earn as much as $1,500-and sometimes $2,000 if they’re among the industry’s most sought after. For a typical male/female sex scene, the average actress’s compensation is typically between $800 and $1,000. Between $10 and $12 billion of that total comes from the United States.īut pay is hardly equal among porn stars. Globally, pornography is a $97 billion industry, according to Kassia Wosick, assistant professor of sociology at New Mexico State University. Those two components can make a tremendous difference when it comes to what performers earn. Ahead of the event, here is a list of this year’s most popular porn stars as judged by their standing among industry insiders and depth of fan interest, a critical factor to success in the industry.
The adult entertainment industry’s annual exposition runs from Jan. Some experience a meteoric rise, only to fall in the course of a few months. Many performers leave the industry before anyone knows their name. Fame in the adult entertainment industry is a fickle thing.
