Mia Khalifa Net Worth (Money & Salary)

What is Mia Khalifa’s net worth?

The net worth of Mia Khalifa, a Lebanese-American actress, social media influencer, sports commentator, webcam model, and former adult film star, is estimated to be $8 million. Her rise to fame in the adult industry sparked significant backlash in the Middle East, primarily due to the religious prohibitions against her adult performances, compounded by her wearing a hijab in one of her videos. This particular incident resulted in numerous death threats directed at Mia.

Upon retiring from adult films, Mia transitioned into a successful career as a social media influencer, amassing 25 million followers on Instagram alone. Furthermore, it is reported that she is among the highest earners on OnlyFans, having generated approximately $6 million since she joined the platform.

How much money did Mia Khalifa make doing adult movies?

Mia revealed in an August 2019 interview that throughout her time in the adult industry, she earned a mere $12,000—an astonishingly low figure given her substantial notoriety.

In 2020, Mia expressed regret over her brief involvement in the adult industry via TikTok videos, stating that the 11 adult films she starred in at the age of 21 continue to haunt her, and she wishes for “another girl to go through that because no one should.” This prompted her fans to launch an online petition titled “Justice for Mia Khalifa,” aimed at removing her adult videos, which has garnered the support of over 1.5 million signatories thus far.

Early Life

Mia Khalifa, also recognized as Mia Callista, was born on February 10, 1993, in Beirut, Lebanon, where she was given the name Sarah Joe Chamoun. Following the South Lebanon conflict, her family relocated to the United States in January 2001. Raised in a notably conservative Catholic household, Mia no longer practices this faith. Growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, she participated in lacrosse at Northwest High School. After facing bullying at Northwest High School, particularly post-9/11, she transferred to Massanutten Military Academy. Khalifa pursued her studies at the University of Texas at El Paso, where she briefly worked as a briefcase girl on a local Texas Spanish-language version of “Deal or No Deal.” She earned a Bachelor’s degree in History before moving to Miami, where she began her career as a nude model.

Adult Career

Mia Khalifa commenced her career in the adult film industry in October 2014, and by December of the same year, she had risen to the rank of the #1 adult star globally. Her time in the adult industry was notably short, with all her films being shot within a window of just three months. Presently, she still occasionally performs as a webcam model and runs a successful calendar business. The criticism she faced in the Middle East regarding her adult performances stemmed from the Islamic prohibitions against such acts, exacerbated by her hijab in one video, which led to her receiving death threats. Following these events, her parents ceased communications with her. This controversy ultimately propelled her to the fifth spot on “The World’s 10 Most Notorious Porn Stars” list published by the men’s magazine “Loaded” in July 2016.

In early 2015, Khalifa signed with Bros, intending to star in several adult films each month. However, after just two weeks, she decided to quit the industry due to the negative attention that followed her.

Following her departure from adult films, Khalifa took on roles as a bookkeeper and paralegal in Miami. During this time, she also began to cultivate a following on social media, which facilitated her transition into a career as a social media personality and webcam model. Additionally, she works as a sports commentator, operates a YouTube channel, and streams on Twitch. On Patreon, she sells photos, merchandise, and other exclusive content. From October 2017 until February 2018, she hosted “Out of Bounds,” a daily sports show on Complex News alongside Gilbert Arenas, and she started co-hosting “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe from July 2018 until the show’s final episode aired on October 30, 2018.

Social Media

Mia Khalifa boasts approximately six million followers on Twitter, 26 million on Instagram, and 40 million on TikTok. She utilizes her social media platforms to promote her favorite sports teams. Given the extent of her following, it is estimated that she earns between $500,000 and $1 million annually from sponsored posts.

Legal Issues

In July 2020, Bang Bros. issued Mia Khalifa a cease and desist order in response to perceived defamatory statements she made regarding the company and the adult industry. Khalifa claimed that BangBros executive Jordan Sibbs deceived her into participating in an erotic photo shoot while donning a hijab and holding replica guns, claiming to be a photographer from “Vogue.” She alleged that the controversial photos were published on the Bang Bros website without her permission. Khalifa expressed on Twitter, “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 married her high school sweetheart in February 2011, but they divorced in 2016.

In March 2019, she became engaged to Swedish chef Robert Sandberg. He announced their engagement on Instagram, stating: “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.’” However, in April 2020, she revealed they were postponing their wedding plans due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Khalifa is an avid supporter of West Ham United, a club in the English Premier League.

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