I searched Jenna and Tera and their numbers match up. How about the most valuable porn companies? That would be an interesting list.

I don't believe half (quarter?) of those numbers. If they only perform, the best they can do is ~$250k a year for a few years and if they live frugally save ~100k a year. If they work in production directing and have a piece of the profits then maybe double that. The big money only comes from owning a production company. So Jenna, Tera & Peter North makes some sense, but Jesse doesn't have a piece of DP or she wouldn't have almost left them last year giving up te JJ name. Were did Traci get her money?
BTW How does Tera have $15mil and Evan Seinfeld only $3mil? Did Tera have a pre-nup? Did she buy him out of Club Tera at the low point?

interesting.

Now how about putting how much you make a year Roald?

i never understood how Jenna Jameson came to be such a superstar. I have seen a couple of her scenes and for me they were average at best. I dont even think sh was particularly attractive compared to people like Tori Black, Sasha Grey and Jenna Haze who for me are all way better performers and went further on camera. So can someone tell me how she got to be so big?

 

[ApolloBalboa]

How is that douche Evan Seinfeld worth $3 million? He wouldn't even be famous if it wasn't for his ex, and I've yet to see him act in anything recent.

I'm kind of sad to not see Petra on here though, especially considering all the money I've tossed her way for those long, cold nights we've spent together.

Is this your opinion? You do realise opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth...

Big? She's an anorexic twig now/w plastic. Used to like her back in the day when she had an ass

How Jenna got rich...

1-Back in the 90s, she was scorching hot.

Evidence... http://www.gfxwallpapers.com/images/wallpapers/Jenna_Jameson_lips_B-356589.jpeg

2-She got tons of work at a time when video was truly king of the porn hill, before the internet put any sort of ding into earnings.

3-When she was at the top of her game, she parlayed the slim margin of mainstream popularity into mainstream work, and even got a book on the NYY best seller list

4-when the internet started taking off, she took control of, and was one of the earliest players in the business with her own website

I am guessing she managed to take the (I am guessing substantial) earnings from all of the above, get a good money manager, and invest it well.

I don't get the Jenna hate on the various porn boards.

Some say the hate comes due to her talking down on the industry who made her famous, but whatever. She will always be the #1 pornstar.

yeah. when she got that lifetime achievement or whatever award at the avn a couple years back, she really put down the industry. i was really disappointed. and potato head tito ortiz was there clapping his hands off during the whole thing.

pretty inappropriate.

Ok point taken...I guess what I should say is, I don't get those who rag on her looks. She was very hot before she get skeletal and all that.

But yeah, I can see the angle of being mad about her dissing porn after she got out of it.

I think she was hot too, she had that whole "I love sex" look going on

Wow...love or hate these people (especially the top 5 or so), you have to admire their business sense.

thanks for this, i never hated her, i just never really got into her like i did some other stars when i first saw her (the first time i saw Jenna Haze i was blown away not just by her looks but the whole performance as well). I can see how some would find her attractive, but for me she has that stereotypical 90's pornstar look which i dont really go for, but thats just my opinion.

Like you said i looks like its a case of right place and right time and very clever money management and investment and you have got to admire her for that.

They worked their ass off to achieve that level. Period. Good for them.

Jenna was part of the era that you seen movies that have a plot in it leading up to the sex and became popular, body and looks of course, with great acting in them with fellow star Tera Patrick.

Today porn is a domination of the gonzo format, where no acting skills are needed as most start with a show off or a interview leading to the sex.

Jenna is hated IMO because of course she is #1, but more on watching her act with about 10-15 minutes of sex then someone like Bree Olson that you are going see more sex in the 25-30 minute range even though Bree has done some feature porn work.

That is the complaint I hear all the time on Jenna at the adult store I work at, to much acting.
