Mia Khalifa Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Mia Khalifa’s net worth?

Mia Khalifa, an actress and social media influencer of Lebanese-American descent, possesses a net worth of approximately $8 million. Her rise to fame in the adult film industry sparked significant backlash within the Middle East, not solely because her performances contradicted Islamic law, but also due to her wearing a hijab in one of her productions, resulting in numerous death threats.

Since retiring from adult films, Mia has transformed her career, accumulating millions in earnings as a social media personality. With 25 million followers on Instagram alone, she is also known to be one of the top earners on OnlyFans, reportedly generating about $6 million since her joining the platform.

How much money did Mia Khalifa make doing adult movies?

In an August 2019 interview, Mia revealed that her total earnings from her entire adult film career amounted to merely $12,000, a surprisingly low figure considering her lasting fame.

In 2020, Khalifa publicly expressed her remorse about her short-lived career in adult entertainment through TikTok videos, sharing that the 11 films she starred in at the age of 21 still plague her, and emphasized her desire for “another girl to not experience that because no one should.” An online petition entitled “Justice for Mia Khalifa” was initiated by her followers, seeking the removal of her adult videos, which has been signed by over 1.5 million individuals.

Early Life

Mia Khalifa, born Sarah Joe Chamoun on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, relocated to the United States in January 2001 due to the ongoing conflict in South Lebanon. Raised in a very conservative Catholic household, she has since ceased practicing the faith. Growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, she played lacrosse at Northwest High School. After facing bullying at Northwest, particularly post 9/11, she transferred to Massanutten Military Academy. Khalifa later attended the University of Texas at El Paso, where she briefly served as a briefcase model on a local Spanish-language game show akin to “Deal or No Deal” and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in History. Following her graduation, she moved to Miami to pursue a career as a nude model.

Adult Career

Mia Khalifa made her entrance into the adult film world in October 2014, and by December of the same year, she had risen to the position of the #1 adult star globally. Her adult career was notably short-lived, with all her films produced within just three months. Currently, she still occasionally performs as a webcam model and runs a successful calendar business. Khalifa’s prominence in the adult industry led to scrutiny in the Middle East, more so because her actions contradicted Islamic practices, notably when she donned a hijab in one of her videos, resulting in death threats and estrangement from her family. The ensuing controversy propelled her to the fifth spot on the “World’s 10 Most Notorious Porn Stars” listing by “Loaded” magazine in July 2016.

Khalifa entered into a long-term agreement with Bang

In early 2015, Khalifa signed with Bros to shoot multiple adult films each month. However, just two weeks later, she decided to leave, prompted by the negative attention she faced within the industry.

After her adult film career, Khalifa transitioned into roles as a paralegal and bookkeeper in Miami while simultaneously growing her social media presence. This transition enabled her to become a social media personality and webcam model. Additionally, she works as a sports commentator, manages a YouTube channel, and engages with fans through live streaming on Twitch. She also offers photos, merchandise, and exclusive content on Patreon. From October 2017 to February 2018, she hosted “Out of Bounds,” a daily sports show on Complex News alongside Gilbert Arenas. Furthermore, she began co-hosting “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe in July 2018, with the final episode airing on October 30, 2018.

Social Media

Mia Khalifa boasts approximately six million followers on Twitter, 26 million on Instagram, and 40 million on TikTok. Through her social media platforms, she promotes her favorite sports teams. Given her substantial following, it’s estimated that she earns between $500,000 and $1 million annually from sponsored posts.

Legal Issues

In July 2020, Mia Khalifa received a cease and desist order from Bang Bros. due to alleged defamatory remarks she made about the company and the adult industry. She accused Jordan Sibbs, an executive at BangBros, of deceiving her into participating in an erotic photo shoot while posing as a “Vogue” photographer, all while wearing a hijab and holding replica guns. Khalifa contended that these now-infamous photos were posted on the Bang Bros website without her permission. In a tweet, she expressed her distress: “I just want B*angbros to stop actively putting me in harm’s way by promoting my 6-year-old videos like they’re new, making millions of people think I’m still active. The death threats are emotionally crippling; I haven’t felt safe even going to the grocery store alone in years.”

Personal Life

Mia Khalifa married her high school sweetheart in February 2011, but the couple divorced in 2016.

In March 2019, she became engaged to Swedish chef Robert Sandberg. He shared on Instagram: “We went to Chicago this weekend and had a wonderful dinner at Smyth. I proposed to @miakhalifa and she said YES! The ring was hidden in a bowl of dried ingredients and came out as a ‘new serving’.” In April 2020, Khalifa announced that their wedding plans were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Khalifa is a fan of the English Premier League club West Ham United.

In July 2015, she publicly criticized NFL player Duke Williams for sending her inappropriate Direct Messages on Twitter.
