The adult actress revealed how much she could ask for performing in a scene.
Adult film actress Riley Reid recently discussed the payment she requested while working on a movie set.
She shared these details during her conversation on the podcast Itsdanielmac, where she spoke about various elements of her career in the adult entertainment industry.
The topic of payment is a sensitive issue in the adult film sector.
It’s possible to earn thousands of dollars for a single scene; however, the work done in that scene remains accessible on the internet indefinitely.

Many former adult industry workers have voiced their concerns about the payment levels for performers.
One notable example is Mia Khalifa, who famously received a frustratingly low sum for her videos.
Despite her videos being viewed millions of times and generating substantial revenue for porn production companies and streaming services, her payment was minimal.
Riley Reid is arguably one of the most famous figures in the pornography industry.
It raises the question: how much can someone of her stature command per scene?
It turns out, the answer varies depending on the type of scene being filmed.
Scenes that are more physically demanding or more extreme tend to offer higher payment.

Reid explained: “When it’s your first an*l, your first DP, and your first g*ng b*ng a lot of time you can get a good chunk of change.
“Sometimes girls can get like $10k, sometimes they can get $15k – $20k. It kind of depends on what you do.
“If you do like a featured movie you might be able to get like $30,000.”
She further mentioned: “When I did my first an*l I got paid $15k for my first an*l but I made the studio agree to let me shoot my own an*l scene and release it at the same time on my website.
“I was still able to monetize on my own site as well.”

Reid continued to describe how she would adjust her fees for an*l scenes based on her recent workload.
She stated: “Because I didn’t want to exhaust my a*s out and everything I kept my rate up, it was like $5,000 – $10,000. It kind of depended on the month.
“I was like okay, I’ll take some more a*shole we can lower the rate or like, let’s raise it up because I’ve shot a lot recently.”
She also noted that female performers typically earn more than their male counterparts, with some men receiving as little as $100 per scene or even participating without compensation.
“Price wise starting out, sometimes he’ll get like $100 for a scene”, Reid remarked.
“Sometimes even they might shoot for free in the beginning and have to do like ‘prove yourself’ scenes,” she added.
