You don't see a lot of millionaires signing up for accounts on MFC. Maybe this is part of her probation?

She also made millions when Playboy bought her adult film company to use on PlayboyTV.
Indeed, girl is loaded beyond belief. Considering even lower tier female newcomers can command $1k+ for a single B/G scene, you can only imagine how much money she accrued during her career spanning multiple decades. I'm also guessing that, with her name, she probably commanded in upwards for 5-10k per scene during her prime, perhaps even more. That's not even including personal endorsements, residual video sales commission, personal website memberships, her sex toys revenue, and of course books. Could go on and on.
Here's an excerpt from Porn Star Kayden Kross's blog,
http://unkrossed.blogspot.com form the 14th of August, titled:" What to expect when you're expecting a porn career" In this she gives her advice / opinion of what its like for a adult female performer getting into the adult industry in 2013. She mentions Jameson's rates in the mid 90s. Its worth a read:
"It was in October of 2006 that I finally did my first boy/girl scene under contract with Vivid. That scene was with Manuel Ferrara, who I am practically married to, but not legally, despite what the gossip sites may say.
The point being, I came into porn in 2006. This was the tail end of the good times if you ask anyone who has been around long enough, and also about the time that people began to believe that porn just might not be recession-proof. If given the choice, I would do it all over again. Not only did I get an amazing career out of it, but I got a Manuel Ferrara out of it as well. But I would not do it all over again if I had to start in 2013. First off, because the industry has changed so drastically that I don’t believe the costs outweigh the benefits any longer, and secondly, because Manuel Ferrara is off the market.
Here’s why: the real wages paid to female performers have steadily decreased. This is true across the board. Jenna Jameson wrote in her book that when she entered her contract with Wicked in the early 90’s she signed on at $6,000/movie. That was good money for the 90’s. The boilerplate contracts handed out to girls still paid roughly the same though ten years later, and when I came in, and even for a few years after. Today that rate is considered a raise after the first year of performance on a boilerplate contract for a new performer entering the industry. One of today’s dollars was worth $1.62 back in 1993. So if we’re doing simple math, first year contracts back then were roughly equivalent to $9,720/film today. That would be a monthly salary before any other streams of income were added in".
