How much are porn stars paid?

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.

In general, amateur models are sought out and are paid no more than a couple hundred dollars, per my inside sources. And established porn actors make no more than a thousand or two.
It's amazing how studios have no problems low-balling and cheating models out of any fair share of whatever is produced from the activities, but scream bloody murder if users share torrents on the material a user may purchase from them.
Sort of blows a hole in the "I did it because I needed the money." excuse some people use.
Not particularly. Not like everyone tries to make a living off of doing porn. A lot of
straightguys do it for the extra cash. Helps them out. -

Wow! I had the impression that they were earning a lot!
-
I heard for models from 300-500/ scene
-
How many scenes do they usually do in a month?
-
lower than what I have expected
-
I understand high earners average 48k a year. Aepad was making 120k when he died.

We're probably part of the reason they don't get paid as much. ;D

I don't think they get 5K in amateur studio…
All I "heard" from Corbin Fisher studios, if they're very high demand model, they could get 1000-3000 for one scene.
Another, for Men studios, above 500/scene.
And... gay porn industry usually paid much more than straight porn, that why we often heard this days "gay for pay", straight man as gay acting porn. Gay porn also more less competition than straight porn.
Agreed. Studios are not paying their models as much as in the past,. There is so much more competition now, and many more studios, both established an amateur to choose from. If an actor is getting 5K a scene, he is really popular and working with an established studio.
I've heard of guys in straight porn being paid as low as $50 per scene. Straight porn is all about the woman, the man is not important at all - only his cock is.
That is why so many of them venture over to the gay side of the fence.
Wow only 50 bucks that's crazy
