Doesn't "yoghurt gun" Peter North own a ferrari ? I think he produces everything he films himself.

Most people are idiots.
LOL.
My guess is that the more famous pornstars also get income from other sources: public appearances, residual agreements, and straight-up whoring themselves out. I remember seeing escort ads for Sativa Rose in my city a while back. To be perfectly honest, I thought about calling in for a second.
yeah i like sativa rose too, when she's thin that is
other favs include luci thai, tanner mayes and sunny leone
man, i could have learnt a new language in all the time i spent watching that stuff...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the porn industry is a billion dollar business. People see it in the same light as any other film industry.
The fact that Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Aniston etc get paid mills to put out films (which these days often don't even satiate my pallet for entertainment) goes to beckon that porn actors/actresses would get somewhat the same sort of compensation seeing that most consumers of porn achieve their ultimate goal (to nutt).
I used to think so in the past since I would calculate how much a dvd costs or a site membership and think of how many millions of craven cats were purchasing and signing.
Thus, if an actor/actress gets royalties on each sale or membership, they would be raking in dough by the truckloads in my former view.
However, these days, now understanding better how business works, I see the money is disseminated in other means to other participants (but I am not sure of the actual breakdown.
Can anyone here break down the cost of a porn dvd and who gets what?
Let's say a bangbus DVD costs 10 bucks. Who is involved and who gets what?

I'm not and expert and I can't give you the full breakdown, but porn actresses mostly get paid per scene they film. That is, they almost never cut from sales. The exception may be the few top actresses who get multiple film studio contracts.
For the big studios the bulk of the money goes to the producers and the owners. Possibly with a cut to the director.
Another difference between Hollywood and the porn biz is that the barrier to entry in porn is much lower. It costs less to produce a fuck film than it costs to produce a Hollywood blockbuster. Thus there's more competition, the industry is more fragmented and it becomes harder to get a return on your investment.

The very best female pornstars can command much more than $1-2k a scene. Very opular girls might be able to hit $3-5000.
With the exception of Jenna Jameson, I don't believe there is/was a pronstar really pulling in millions annually. The best girls usually hit around $20,000 monthly or so.
Most are
still broke as hell. They have absolutely no clue how to manage money in most cases (which, as that article will make clear, isn't all that surprising).

The best erotic movies (storyline wise and acting) I've seen are
"Talk dirty to me I and II" and "nothing to hide" from the early 80s.... they were recommended to me by Modeone...at least they have a good story line and acting.
the main actor John Leslie past away last year...

I don't know how people can do it at all.
Even if I was getting paid and banging hot chicks I don't think it would be enjoyable with guys hanging lights and microphones all over me...oh, and the camera lens up my ass.
I think I would take a shot at Belladonna any day though. I think that might be the only exception.

The only way I'd get involved is on the Woodman's model:
Owns own website,
Travels the world,
Has scouts all over,mainly EE to find Fresh girls and only deals with them
Casts and diddles them
Uploads film to website
Lives off chumps that subscribe to live vicariously through him.
In control ,collecting coin while sleeping.
No producers
No Sound man
Just the camera and chick
