Mia Khalifa Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Mia Khalifa’s net worth: What is it?

A Lebanese-American actress, social media personality, sports commentator, webcam model, and former adult actress, Mia Khalifa has a net worth of $8 million. Her rise to fame in the adult industry sparked backlash in the Middle East, not only due to the Islamic prohibitions against adult content but also because she appeared wearing a hijab in one of her videos, which led to her receiving numerous death threats.

After leaving the adult film industry, she transitioned into a successful social media influencer, amassing 25 million followers on Instagram. Additionally, she is believed to be one of the highest earners on OnlyFans, raking in approximately $6 million since her debut on the platform.

How much did Mia Khalifa earn from adult films?

In an August 2019 interview, Mia revealed that her total earnings during her short adult film career amounted to just $12,000 — an unexpectedly small sum given her widespread fame.

In 2020, Mia expressed her regrets regarding her quick involvement in the adult industry through TikTok videos, stating that the 11 adult films she shot at the age of 21 continue to haunt her. She wishes to prevent other girls from experiencing similar regrets, insisting that “no one should” have to go through that. In response, her fans initiated an online petition titled “Justice for Mia Khalifa,” which has garnered over 1.5 million signatures to remove her adult videos from circulation.

Early Life

Birthed in Beirut, Lebanon, on February 10, 1993, Mia Khalifa is also known as Mia Callista, with her birth name being Sarah Joe Chamoun. Following the conflict in South Lebanon, her family immigrated to the United States in January 2001. Mia described her upbringing in a conservative Catholic household, although she no longer practices that faith. Growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, she played lacrosse at Northwest High School. After experiencing bullying, particularly post-9/11, Mia transferred to Massanutten Military Academy. She later attended the University of Texas at El Paso. During her college years, Mia served as a briefcase girl on a local Texas Spanish-language television game show akin to “Deal or No Deal.” She earned a Bachelor’s degree in History and subsequently moved to Miami, where she worked as a nude model.

Adult Career

Mia Khalifa made her entry into the adult film industry in October 2014, quickly rising to prominence by December 2014 when she became the #1 adult star globally. Her adult career was notably short; all her films were completed in just three months. Even today, she occasionally appears as a webcam model and operates a lucrative calendar business. The backlash she faced in the Middle East due to her adult work was exacerbated by the wearing of a hijab in one of her videos, resulting in her receiving death threats that led to a rift with her parents. The controversy propelled her to fifth place on Loaded magazine’s July 2016 list of “The World’s 10 Most Notorious Porn Stars.”

Khalifa signed a long-term contract with Bang
“`Bros’ in early 2015 was where she began performing in several adult films each month. Nevertheless, just two weeks later, Khalifa decided to leave the industry, largely due to the negative publicity she received.

After her time in the adult industry, Khalifa became a paralegal and bookkeeper in Miami while amassing a significant social media following. This growth enabled her to transition into a role as a social media personality and webcam model. Additionally, she works as a sports commentator, has a YouTube channel, live streams on Twitch, and sells photographs, 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 co-hosted “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe starting in July 2018, with the final episode airing on October 30, 2018.

Social Media

With approximately six million followers on Twitter, 26 million on Instagram, and 40 million on TikTok, Mia Khalifa actively promotes her favorite sports teams through her social media platforms. Given her substantial following, it is estimated that she may earn between $500,000 and $1 million annually through sponsored posts on social media.

Legal Issues

In July 2020, Mia Khalifa received a cease and desist order from Bang Bros. regarding some purported defamatory comments she made about the company and the adult film industry. Mia alleged that Jordan Sibbs, an executive at BangBros, tricked her into participating in an erotic photo shoot while donning a hijab and brandishing replica firearms, falsely claiming he was a photographer from “Vogue.” She asserted that these now infamous photos were published on the Bang Bros website without her permission. She tweeted: “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 wed her high school sweetheart in February 2011, but the couple divorced in 2016.

In March 2019, she 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 concealed among a bowl of dried ingredients and revealed as a ‘new serving’.” In April 2020, she indicated that their wedding would be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Khalifa is an avid 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 suggestive Direct Messages on Twitter.
