Sure, porn’s not the greatest of career options. It’s a favorite of failed actors and actresses as well as those with addictions that they can’t feed in any other way but somewhere in amongst all the human disaster there are people who’ve made an incredible living out of working in porn. Here are the 10 richest porn stars of all time:
Asa Akira (Net Worth: $1.5 million)
She might look Asian but she’s 100% American. She was born and raised, at least until she was 9, in Manhattan. After that her family moved to Tokyo and she began her first job at the age of 18 – working as a stripper in a Japanese club. It was Gina Lynn, the adult movie “star”, that persuaded her she’d be better off working in porn and the rest, as they say, is history.
Katie Morgan (Net Worth: $4.5 million)
Katie’s not just a porn star; she’s also worked on a few HBO shows – though often doing something very similar to her main job starring in Zack and Miri Make a Porno. She’s also a radio show host and is best known for her unique vocal tone as well as her positive outlook on life. It’s paid off in spades too – she’s now worth over $4 million.

Ron Jeremy (Net Worth: $5.5 million)
It’s not just ladies who’ve made their mint in porn; Ron Jeremy is one of two guys who features on our list. He had to work much harder than the average woman though – Ron starred in over 2,000 porn films! Which reflects the fact that there are far more men willing to work in porn than women and thus men get paid less. He’s also the victim of his time and place in porn – if his career had started today; he’d be four or five times richer than he is.
Maria Takagi (Net Worth: $6 million)
Maria is proof that being famous isn’t often all that well paid; at least until you’re famous for being gang banged on film. She began her career in pop music and was a huge star in Japan but it’s her porn career that has paid the big bucks. She earns nearly $3 million a year as Japan’s most spank-worthy porn star; much more than singing ever brought in.
Traci Lords (Net Worth: $7 million)
Getting to the party very early indeed, Traci Lords was one of the biggest adult movie stars of the 1980s. She’s crossed over from porn into TV and film acting at [...]
