Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American actress, social media personality, sports commentator, webcam model and former adult actress. At the time of writing, Mia Khalifa has a net worth of $5 million.

How much money did Mia Khalifa make making adult movies?
In an interview conducted in August 2019, Mia revealed that she only made $12,000 in her entire adult career. The numbers are surprisingly low.
early life
Mia Khalifa, also known as Mia Callista, was born on February 10, 1993 in Beirut, Lebanon. In January 2001, Mia’s family emigrated to the United States due to conflict in southern Lebanon. Mia grew up in what she describes as a very conservative Catholic family. She is no longer religious. She grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland. She played hockey at Northwestern Hoag School. After being bullied at Northwestern High, especially after the 9/11/01 attacks, she transferred to Massanuteng Military Academy. Khalifa attended the University of Texas at El Paso. During college, Khalifa was the briefcase girl on a local Texas Spanish-language TV game show, akin to “Deal or No Deal.” She graduated with a BA in History. After college, Khalifa moved to Miami and worked as a nude model.
Profession
In October 2014, she entered the adult film industry, and in December 2014, she was the number one adult star on major adult websites. Technically, her adult career was very short. All the films she made were shot in just three months. Today, she still works as an occasional webcam model and runs a thriving calendar business. Khalifa’s popularity in the industry has drawn criticism in the Middle East. The Islamic religion banned her adult behavior, also because she was wearing a hijab in one of the videos. The video resulted in Mia receiving death threats. Her parents then stopped talking to her. The controversy helped her land at No. 5 on the July 2016 men’s magazine Loaded’s list of the “Top 10 Most Notorious Porn Stars in the World”.
Khalifa signed a long-term contract with Bang Bros in early 2015 to perform in multiple adult films each month. However, Khalifa changed his mind and resigned just two weeks later. She left the adult industry due to negative attention.

During her adult career, Khalifa worked as a paralegal and bookkeeper in Miami while building a following on social media, allowing her to transition into a social media personality and webcam model. She is also a sports commentator. She has a YouTube channel. She is streaming on Twitch. She sells photos, merchandise and other exclusive content on Patreon. From October 2017 to February 2018, she hosted the daily sports show “Out of Bounds” on Complex News with Gilbert Arenas. She also co-hosted “SportsBall” with Tyler Coe from July 2018. The last episode aired on October 30, 2018.
Mia Khalifa has around 3 million Twitter followers and 16 million Instagram followers. She promotes her favorite sports team on her social media accounts. Depending on her follower size, it’s no exaggeration to say she earns between $500,000 and $1 million a year from sponsored social media posts.
Legal Issues
In July 2020, Bang Bros. issued a cease and desist order against Mia Khalifa for some of her allegedly defamatory remarks about the company and the adult industry. Mia claims that BangBros executive Jordan Sibbs tricked her into taking pornographic photos while wearing a headscarf and holding a fake gun, and told her he was a Vogue photographer. She claims the now infamous photo appeared on the Bang Bros website without her consent. She tweeted: “I just want B*angbros to stop actively putting me at risk, like promoting my video 6 years ago and making millions think I’m still active. The death threats were emotionally severe, and for years I felt insecure even going to the grocery store by myself.”
personal life
In February 2011, Mia Khalifa married her high school boyfriend. They divorced in 2016.
In March 2019, she got engaged to her boyfriend, Swedish chef Robert Sandberg. He wrote on his Instagram account: “We went to Chicago this weekend and had a great dinner at Smyth. I proposed to @miakhalifa and she said yes! The ring is hidden in a bowl of dry ingredients as a “New service ‘appears’.”
In April 2020, she announced that they would be postponing their wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In January 2015, pop group Timeflies released a song titled “Mia Khalifa” in her honor.
Khalifa is a supporter of Premier League club West Ham United.
In July 2015, Mia sent NFL player Duke Williams furious for sending her a series of flirtatious direct messages on Twitter.
In June 2020, Khalifa revealed she had a $15,000 nose job.
In 2020, Khalifa publicly expressed regret in a TikTok video about her short stint in the adult industry, saying that the 11 adult films she made at age 21 still haunt her and she never wanted “another girl to go through this because No one should go through it.” Mia’s fans have launched an online petition called “Justice for Mia Khalifa” calling for her adult videos to be taken down, which has so far been signed by more than 1.5 million people.
