Are a lot of feature dancers/porn stars millionaires?
A while back on "The Howard Stern Show", Leanna
Heart who is a porn star/feature dancer said that she
has become a millionaire through feature dancing, being a
porn star, and her own website.
Leanna is a cutie pie but she isn't even a top porn star or
any where close to it. If she can do it I'm sure other more
famous porn stars/feature dancers must be rolling in
the cash.
Is this an accurate assumption that most famous porn stars/
feature dancers are millionaires?
Or is Leanna Heart just more business savy?
Funny thing is even though Leanna Heart is financially set she
has "escorted" in the past(don't know if she still does). The
TER has talked about her escorting. I guess
the old saying is true you can never get enough of money.
Or maybe Leanna is just a little horndogg that can't get enough
of sex (probably wishfull thinking).

A while back I caught a little bit of some documentary on a porn star. I didn't catch her name, I watch TV the way I eat, little bites here and there. Anyway, her story was that she bascially blew most of her earnings on drugs and other recreations, and what was left the IRS took. She was penniless. I'm betting her story is more common than the one you quoted.

You will probably find the same number of millionaires in this business as in any other- less than 1%. This doesn't mean that you can't become a millionaire featuring, but you can't be spending that money you earn, you have to save it in order to accrue a million in the bank. With the right investments, most self employed people who have ambition and talent can become millionaires in a relatively short period of time (6-10 years).
Unfortunately most of us sucumb to the temtation to spend all we earn and more (even if it is a million), and never really reach financial security. My friend (who I love dearly), wants a nice late model or new car. She has bad credit, but is willing to jump through any hoops to get this car, even if it means paying twice as much for it then she would had she had the cash to buy it outright. She has $3000 to put down, but the dealerships are gouging her because of poor credit. If she would just buy an old reliable car with her $3000, and drive it for a while, take care of her credit problems, and then go get herself a nice new car. But she just can't abide being seen driving and early 90's vehicle.
Okay, I'm stepping off my soapbox now!!

It is also possible to be worth a million dollars (in assets) and not be a millionaire...

I think it has to do with good investments and money management. We used to have porn star featurs come to our club. Some were young and cute while others were well into their 40's and showing it pretty bad! I couldn't understand why they'd still be doing it if the had already accomplished so much(I had assumed they were all millionaires). My boss told me a lot of times they make okay money - but far from tons of money. PLus, I'm sure a lot of money comes with dvd and pictures sales - stuff like that.

All of us involved in the sex industry are millionaires, we spend our off time in South Beach cruisin in our souped up import cars, drinking champale out of a brown paper bag while planning our next pillow fight!
