Mia Khalifa Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Mia Khalifa’s net worth: what is it?

With a net worth of $8 million, Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American actress, sports commentator, social media figure, webcam model, and former adult film star. Her rise to fame in the adult industry stirred controversy in the Middle East, primarily due to the Islamic religion’s strict prohibition against adult content, and because she wore a hijab in one of her videos, resulting in multiple death threats directed at her.

Since her retirement from adult films, Mia has transitioned into a successful career as a social media influencer, amassing 25 million followers on Instagram alone. Furthermore, she is reportedly among the highest earners on OnlyFans, having accumulated approximately $6 million since joining the platform.

Mia Khalifa’s earnings from adult movies: how much?

In an August 2019 interview, Mia revealed that throughout her brief adult career, she earned only $12,000—a surprisingly low figure given her lasting fame.

In 2020, she expressed her regret over her short-lived involvement in the adult industry via videos on TikTok, indicating that the 11 adult films she made at 21 still haunt her, and she wishes “no other girl has to endure that.” Following this, her fans initiated an online petition titled “Justice for Mia Khalifa,” which has garnered over 1.5 million signatures in an effort to have her adult content removed.

Early Life

Mia Khalifa, born Sarah Joe Chamoun on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, moved to the United States with her family in January 2001 due to the South Lebanon conflict. Growing up in a conservative Catholic family, she no longer practices the religion. Mia was raised in Montgomery County, Maryland, where she played lacrosse at Northwest High School. After facing bullying, particularly post-9/11, she transferred to Massanutten Military Academy. Khalifa attended the University of Texas at El Paso and briefly worked as a briefcase girl on a local Texas Spanish-language game show similar to “Deal or No Deal.” She earned her Bachelor’s degree in History and later relocated to Miami, where she began her career as a nude model.

Career in Adult Industry

Mia Khalifa entered the adult film sector in October 2014, quickly rising to become the #1 adult star globally by December of that year. Despite her rapidly achieved fame, her adult career spanned a mere three months during which all her films were produced. Today, she occasionally performs as a webcam model and manages a successful calendar business. Khalifa’s rise elicited criticism in the Middle East, not only for participating in forbidden acts according to Islamic beliefs but also for wearing a hijab in one of her videos, which led to her receiving death threats and her parents severing communication with her. This controversial status earned her a spot as one of “The World’s 10 Most Notorious Porn Stars” by the magazine “Loaded” in July 2016.

Khalifa entered into a long-term contract with Bang

In early 2015, Khalifa joined Bros, intending to appear in several adult films each month. However, just two weeks in, she reconsidered her decision and exited the industry due to the overwhelming negative attention she garnered.

After leaving adult films, Khalifa transitioned into a post-adult career as a paralegal and bookkeeper in Miami, simultaneously growing her social media following. This growth enabled her to shift her focus to becoming a social media personality and webcam model. Additionally, she works as a sports commentator and runs a YouTube channel. Her live streams are hosted on Twitch, and she offers photographs, merchandise, and other exclusive content for sale on Patreon. From October 2017 to February 2018, she hosted “Out of Bounds,” a daily sports show on Complex News alongside Gilbert Arenas. Starting in July 2018, she co-hosted “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe, with the final episode airing on October 30, 2018.

Social Media

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

Legal Issues

In July 2020, a cease and desist order was issued to Mia Khalifa from Bang Bros over allegations of defamatory comments regarding the company and the adult industry. Khalifa accused BangBros executive Jordan Sibbs of deceiving her into participating in an erotic photo shoot while donning a hijab and brandishing replica firearms, under the pretense that he was a “Vogue” photographer. She claimed these controversial photos were displayed on the Bang Bros website without her consent. In her tweet, she expressed, “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 ppl 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 tied the knot with her high school sweetheart in February 2011, but they divorced in 2016.

In March 2019, Khalifa became engaged to Robert Sandberg, a Swedish chef. He shared on his 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 revealed as a ‘new serving’.” However, in April 2020, she revealed that their wedding plans were being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Khalifa is a devoted supporter of the English Premier League team West Ham United.

In July 2015, she publicly called out NFL player Duke Williams for sending her a series of flirtatious Direct Messages on Twitter.
