View Full Version : Most money you ever made?
Yeah it is MG. I suppose I probably am one of the top, but I definitely have my bad nights too..
I literally know 3 really basic pole tricks and rarely use even one of them. I don't know that my hustle is great but it's very very different to what I saw in Melbourne and it works for my club. Of the other girls I know earn good money regularly - one does zero pole tricks but a sensual performance and has a really beautiful/alternative pinup look and a smoking hot (natural) body, another is great on the pole but she also has a soulless hustle (which includes telling customers I have a boyfriend!), and the rest are probably at a beginner-intermediate level on the pole. Pure Platinum might be a different story as there's more focus on the podiums than on selling private shows.
At MG I'll sit and talk to a customer for a while and once i've invested time in someone they will usually take me for at least an hour and a lot of the time they will extend for another hour or two. I had someone do 7 hours straight a couple of weeks ago :):)
So for example last night I did one podium at the beginning of the night, 3 hours with one group of guys, 2 hours with one guy and went home with $945. It's very different to how I made my money in Melbourne but I find it less work to just deal with a couple of people and be booked for 5 hours then hustle all night, only actually be booked for an hour or two and go home with the same amount.. if that makes sense?
Which club are you at in Melbourne?

I think my highest was around the 1200 when I was dancing in the UK...but I actually managed to get into the four figures fairly often, which was awesome!
That said, I have seen INSANE money dropped. One night, custy comes in and sits with a girl. After about ten minutes, he calls over the funny money girl to buy some cash....and asks to buy 10K worth. I shit you not, I was sitting right there (and FUMING that he hadn't sat with me) and it was ridiculous.
Holy FUCK. I don't know if I could've handled being close to that much money without getting a piece of the pie. I might have just fainted right then and there purely from envy. My heart would drop out of my ass if I heard a customer request that much money.

I'm at Kittens, which is the only touching club here, so it's busy. We make quick sales, typically $50 for 3 songs. I'll get a few customers extending to $100-250 sessions, but mostly I just do one-offs with many customers. We don't have a VIP. Of course, some girls rely more on regulars or a slower hustle, so they'll have fewer customers spending larger amounts. I personally don't have the patience to sit around for half an hour with a potential high spender. Unless it's a regular I already know and like. On a typical Saturday night I'll dance for 10-15 customers.

I'm in NYC and during DEC customers regularly order 10k in funny money for their "work party"/ "end of year bonus" whatever. Normally it's split with several guys but you can still walk away with tons of money even though the girls are swarming them and doing non-stop dances.

I am kind of bummed right now. I thought I made decent money stripping averaging $1600 in a 4 day week but I talked to some of my bartender friends and they swear they regularly make $1k a night and that a bad night for them is $200. This is at a bar near a major city but still, it's not far from my club. One of my friends was interested in stripping with me, but when I told her she wouldn't make $1k a night she just laughed it off. She said she averages $350 a night (she only works 3 nights though because bartending jobs are seriously hard to get here). Reading over all these posts makes me wonder where I can average better without having to move. I know it's different work, but when bartenders are making more than strippers that just seems wrong to me.

The most you've made is totally different than what you average for most dancers.

Most in one shift was $1700-1800 before fees and tip-outs (which in my wallet looked like $1200 before tip-out because it was in a DJV that used the machines that took their 33% of dance money before paying out. After tip-out, I left with just shy of $1000. That was in 2009, and within a week of my 1-year dancing anniversary.
I made that majority off one guy who had just won money at a casino and got a divorce in the same week. Did a bunch of 3/$40's, one hour-long VIP and some tipped chatting on the floor. He came in every day after that looking for me and later became somewhat of a stalker. After he started bribing the bouncer for information about me, I got into a fight with my manager (who refused to do anything) and left, then didn't come back for a month.
The rest was off of another man who contributed 3-400. I don't remember anything else about him.
Skylight, this was in San Diego 3 or 4 years ago. I'd normally make 2-300 a shift there with a lazy hustle, and had a few nights at around 4-600.

I don't think most bartenders make more than most strippers. The bartenders I know don't make nearly as much as me, and some of them work at popular/busy bars. Plus the disadvantage of their job vs ours is they have to abide by a schedule and we typically don't (if we do, we usually at least choose our days).

I never made more than $500-$600, but I only worked day shifts... although, the few times I worked nights I actually didn't do as well, so I dunno if that matters. *Except* for the one day I made about $800 because of one dude who gave me $600 to dance for him for 3 songs. So, I guess the most I ever made was $600 in 10 minutes. :D
I have had several 1500-1700$ nights but cannot seem to break 2000, I wish! Maybe if I work more then my 8 hour shift I could do it

This thread is so inspiring! I've been dancing two years off and on and I do believe last Friday was the most I've made, 344$ after tip outs. I work in a shit hole dive bar in Fort Worth, TX. I maybe maybe have made more but it would've been my first year 400ish but I do not recall.
344 is a lot in one night when sometimes my day job hair career can bring me just 400 after a fucking week of work.

$3500. And that was the night I thought I was gonna walk out with $400. Was a slow night and I was just standing there pretty hopeless, when the guy came up to me and asked if I want to go to VIP. Two hours and $2500 tip later, I walked out with more than any other girl that night. I just for extremely lucky. Never happened again though. I always gave to work for money. Lol

I think it was about $6700, I remember he gave me 10k before tip out/fees-- he did like 3gs worth of dances/VIP and then tipped me 7 grand, biggest tip I've ever gotten, it was xmas though so it was kind of a xmas present/tip. It was an old regular I had who was wonderful and very generous, he basically paid my bills for the first year I was dancing alone cause he used to spend so much. I've never had another customer like that... I mean, the most anyone else has ever tipped me is like $1000, which is great and wonderful but nothing like what he used to tip me.

The most I made was 1200 just last week. I have cleared 1000 a couple of times but my average/consistent is about 450.
I think I only danced for one guy I knew, that was the weird part, because my club is like 75 percent regulars. I just got lucky with a couple of guys who liked me off the bat, and one nice man who tipped me 50 on stage and then paid another 70 for one dance.

Best single stage set performance: $682
Best shift overall: $1998 (I know! I know! I would have bummed $2 from a customer if I knew how close I was to $2k!)
Best shift so far in 2014: $815 (after fees and tip out)

It doesn't matter. It's like winning the lottery, either the big spender likes you or he doesn't. There isn't a lot a girl can do to get a big spender to like her if she isn't his flavor.

What was this stage set like? Did you just have one really appreciative dude or was it a giant stage or what?
Most I've done is $1500 in a 10 hour shift. $900 from one customer for a 3 hour private room, and the rest from mostly 20m to 30m private room

About 1950 after tip out and funny money cut. In Vegas...from a guy on a bunch of drugs...he was a jerk. He kept saying he way gay and didn't want dances, but was paying my friend and I 500 bucks every few minutes to sit there with him. He gave us each 1500 and just got up and left. We never took our tops off for him lol. The rest was from random dances.

The most I ever made was $1194 about 2 months ago off of a regular of mine. He's infatuated. He really only did $100 worth of dances and then tipped me the rest. He rarely spends that much $ (typically he will give me $150-240/wk), but I wish I could have nights like this all the time.

$1927 from VIP + dances. And at the end of the night, a guy who looked like a Mexican Jon Lovitz paid $600 for me to sit while he tried to figure out which of his exes i reminded him of...

$1200, I wasn't even supposed to work that night. Manager called me in because it was busy. Got there at 11pm and I was lining up dances on my way TO the DR. The guys were actually behaving themselves (surprisingly). Never stepped on the stage. Left a happy gal at 4am. Never done it again.

Most ever was 2 almost and one over $3000 nights in a row in a club that sold $40 lap dances, $100 "VIP" dances (same as lap dances, just a different area lol), $250 half hour VIP room, $500 hour VIP and the option to upsell champagne at $100 per bottle for the dancer. I got tipped like crazy on stage, tipped for dances, and tipped hundreds of dollars in VIP and nobody expected illegal shit.
Too bad that club got shut down. Still wondering why it did

Since I've been back dancing again (only since Oct 2013) my best night was $900 in a $15/dance only club. No VIP, no champagne, only bikini dances...
DreamsInDigital
05-20-2014, 08:19 AM
$1421 after house, tip out, and paying 15% cuz most of it was funny money. So before all that, it was probably somewhere around $1800. It was mostly off a guy who took me to the CR with 5 hours left until the club closed. He bought an hour to start, and then another hour after the first hour. When the host came back to tell us that our time was up at the end of the second hour (and we were both pretty drunk off champagne), I just looked at him and said, "You know, there's only 3 hours left before close, and you know you want to spend them all with me. You might as well just give me all the $$ now." And he did!! Best hustle moment ever. :D

Pretty recently on New Years day, 01/01/2014. The most I have ever made was $13,000 off of one guy. The custi took me and my friend into the private room gave us each $10,000 to hang out then an extra $20,000 tip to split. After paying out all the club fees and tipping everyone out, we each walked with $13,000. Started off my year the right way. Has been great in SF ever since.

Funny money is when a guy pays on a card. The club gives you vouchers (funny money) that are cashed in later but the club keeps some of the money ( fees)

Most I ever made was $50,000..[500 100 hundred dollar bills I couldn't believe it to this day, I was astonished!!] It was so think I had to leave right away cause I was scared I would get robbed or he would try to take it back and change his mind.
It happened on slow night when a random guy approached me [ he said he liked my Maltese cross] thats we talked about cause thats what we had in common my family is from Valletta.We ended up in VIP the whole time, then he pulled out of his bag a picture of himself holding a big lottery check thing , turns out he was a winner of 6 million a few years ago! Then he said I was such a nice Maltese girl and handed me out of his pouch 500 100 dollar bills, he had it in bundles of 5 which was 10 thousand dollars a bundle I had, It was so thick I excused myself and got my ass out of there and never went back to that club!

I BELIEVE SHE MENT he payed with a card soo some clubs give you theyre fake money you get up front then when your tipping out they exchange it for real money once it clears and they kep like 10 or 15 %
Funny money fees?
Like, counterfeit? Wouldn't the club just call the cops on that guy? Am confused.
