For what it’s worth, TMZ says Myla’s tape, like Farrah’s, is an anal. That’s going to be the new bar for celebrity sex tapes.

In reply to BT. Didn't screw her to bad because she got a new reality deal out of it all. I'm sure she's not dong that for free.

Let’s assume the million was a million. There’s a point that Farrah will probably learn (this is what happens when you’re the parent of a twenty-something). Pay your agent 10%, and one million is now $900,000. Pay 38% taxes, and $1 million less 10% agent fee is $560,000. If she lives in a state with income tax, her $560,000 is now $490,000. Let’s say she’s a smart girl and invests all of it into an annuity so that she has something live on the rest of her life. She can expect about $1,800 a month, or $21,600 a year before taxes.

Meanwhile …… endorsement deals, appearance fees and celebrity are going to last only so long yet she has a daughter to raise, support and put through college. Yet, she has significantly limited her ability to launch a career to support her kid. And those all suppose that she decides not to live large on the $500,000 she walked away with.

Long math short, hopefully $22K a year was worth screwing James Deen on camera.

Yall aint readin it right….I said figure on the high side….so if they paid her less or a lower percentage the math still works

I believe that all told she around 500K advance but really it doesnt matter what she got paid…fact is Vivid made bank on her sex tape relative to other porn releases…even if they paid her 1M.

Your math is based on the fact that she said she got paid $1 million. Prior to that it was “high six figures”. Who hasn’t heard the Vivid sales propaganda before? Remember the time they said they sold 50k units of a movie and it was revealed they only sold like 5k? So did they really pay her $1 mil up front and then $120k later? Or did they said you will probably make $1 million but here is (something much lower – like $50k) up front and then the first royalty check was $120k? Isn’t that far more believable?

Farrah Abraham getting a Mill is a urban legend. Think about it, if she got a mill she would be long gone from porn. She would certainly have a better agent than the slime ball ex pimp madam that’s repping her now. I think she got a five figure or low low low six figure pay day for the sex tape. If you talk to talent that work for Vivid they will tell you the same. Riddle me this, if she was so quick to post a pic the 100k pay check to TMZ, where’s the million pay check????? Another question if you got paid a million bucks would you be hanging around a porn convention selling Polaroid’s for $10 a pop to a bunch of perverts? This woman has never had money before so if she got a big pay day she would be living it up. Not making appearances at strip clubs.

Celebrity tapes are a bit of a weird deal, because they seem to be hinged entirely on a formula with a few things in it:

(would you bang her) x (how well know) x (exposure levels) / (sleazy factor)+ (how bad the performance is).

It’s why a trollish thing like Tila Tequila couldn’t get attention, because not that many would bang her, she was only marginally well known, was over exposed… and then the sleaze factor was high and the performance that was out there was lame. Zero.

Kim Kardasian? Many guys wanted to bang her, she is really well known, exposed like crazy / she wasn’t sleazy about it and the action wasn’t terrible. Winner!

Teen Mom only had middling scores, but by adding anal and a cum facial, and being a very willing fuck sort of raised the performance level, making it work out.

As for the million, Mike have you considered that perhaps the Million was a flat fee for all of the DVD and usage rights, and the check just a percentage of online views? My guess is that Vivid probably did a couple of million on DVDs, but did more than that online, and the check was her 5% or whatever of online sales.

In reply to RiccoMarin.

I said I wanted to fuck Shy, not use her PR or agent services. I would have to agree that Shy’s pussy is well used so maybe I would be in for a shock when I saw her pussy up close, I don’t know.

As for Marci I have heard the same rumors you have but only believe half of them. I have wondered if she is so kinky why doesn’t Vivid make BDSM and other push-the-envelope movies instead of features. The kinkiest thing Vivid has made lately is Farrah “Teen Mom” Abraham getting fucked up the ass by James Deen. That leads me to believe that Marci (and Steven) aren’t as kinky as the rumor mill suggests. You can’t say that kink doesn’t make money, Peter Acworth has made a mint with his company — all sites (other than maybe Fucking Machines) based on different kinks. Brent Scott seems to be doing well with Intersec lately, too. I think Kink.com makes more profit in a year than Vivid ever thought of making. Peter also has Twisted Factory which he is attempting to build back up after its former owners let it go downhill for years.
