What Do Gay Porn Stars Earn?
Remarkably little. While some name brand stars can earn up to $5,000 a scene, the vast majority make about $500 to $1,000 per scene. No matter how you do the math, that doesn’t come to a whole lot of money. Let’s say you earn $500 a scene. If you’re lucky you’ll work 5 scenes a month. That’s $2,500 a month or $30,000 a year. Considering the median household income in the U.S. is $51,000, that means you’re making a little bit over half of desk-job Americans.
Bottom line: You can’t make much money as a performer in gay porn. The smart ones augment their porn compensation with personal websites, DVDs, appearances, merchandising and often, escorting.
Wow! I had the impression that they were earning a lot!
