Mia Khalifa Net Worth (Money & Salary)

Mia Khalifa’s net worth: What is it?

A net worth of $8 million is attributed to Mia Khalifa, who is known for her roles as a Lebanese-American actress, social media influencer, sports commentator, webcam model, and former adult actress. Her rise in the adult film industry sparked considerable backlash in the Middle East, mainly due to the Islamic prohibitions surrounding adult content and her decision to wear a hijab in one of her videos, leading to numerous death threats directed at her.

After leaving the adult industry, Mia transitioned into a lucrative career as a social media influencer, amassing 25 million followers on Instagram alone. Additionally, she is said to be among the highest earners on OnlyFans, reportedly raking in about $6 million since joining the platform.

What was Mia Khalifa’s earnings from adult films?

In an August 2019 interview, Mia revealed that her total earnings during her adult film career amounted to only $12,000—a remarkably small figure given her significant fame.

In 2020, she expressed her regret over her short-lived adult film career through TikTok videos, stating that the 11 adult films she made at age 21 continue to trouble her, and she hopes no other girl has to undergo similar experiences. This led her supporters to launch a petition titled “Justice for Mia Khalifa,” aimed at having her adult videos removed; this petition has gathered over 1.5 million signatures so far.

Background and Upbringing

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. Due to the conflict in South Lebanon, her family relocated to the United States in January 2001. Raised in a very conservative Catholic household, Mia has since distanced herself from the faith. She grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland, where she participated in lacrosse at Northwest High School. After facing bullying, particularly post 9/11, she transferred to Massanutten Military Academy. Mia further pursued her education at the University of Texas at El Paso, where she briefly worked as a briefcase girl on a local Spanish-language game show akin to “Deal or No Deal.” She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in History and later moved to Miami, where she began working as a nude model.

Career in Adult Films

Mia Khalifa made her entry into the adult film industry in October 2014 and was ranked as the #1 adult star globally by December of the same year. Her foray into this field was notably short, as her filming spanned just three months. Presently, she occasionally performs as a webcam model and runs a successful calendar business. Her adult film career attracted criticism in the Middle East, both due to the Islamic prohibition on adult films and her wearing a hijab in one of her scenes, which resulted in death threats. Consequently, her relationship with her parents deteriorated. This controversy contributed to her ranking as the fifth most notorious porn star on the list compiled by “Loaded” magazine in July 2016.

Khalifa entered into a long-term agreement with Bang…

In early 2015, Khalifa signed with Bros to star in multiple adult films every month. Nonetheless, she had a change of heart just two weeks later and decided to leave the adult industry due to the negative attention directed at her.

After her adult film career, Khalifa took on roles as a paralegal and bookkeeper in Miami, while simultaneously growing her social media following. This growth facilitated her transition into a social media influencer and webcam model. Furthermore, she ventured into sports commentary, operates a YouTube channel, live streams on Twitch, and offers photos, merchandise, and other 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. Additionally, she co-hosted “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe from July 2018 until the final episode aired on October 30, 2018.

Social Media

Mia Khalifa enjoys a vast online presence with approximately six million followers on Twitter, 26 million on Instagram, and 40 million on TikTok. She actively promotes her favorite sports teams through her social media platforms. Given her substantial following, estimates suggest she may earn between $500,000 and $1 million annually from sponsored social media posts.

Legal Issues

In July 2020, Mia Khalifa received a cease and desist letter from Bang Bros regarding some allegedly defamatory remarks she made about the company and the adult entertainment industry. Khalifa alleged that BangBros executive Jordan Sibbs misled her into participating in an erotic photo shoot while donning a hijab and holding replica guns, claiming to be a photographer for “Vogue.” She asserted that those now-infamous photos were posted on the Bang Bros website without her permission. In her tweet, she stated: “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 people 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 the couple divorced in 2016.

In March 2019, she became engaged to Swedish chef Robert Sandberg. He shared the news on his 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.’” In April 2020, she revealed that they would be postponing their wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Khalifa is an advocate for the English Premier League club 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.
