25 most powerfull people in porn according to Arena Magazine
 

If you are in the UK read Arena Magazine this month as they have a supplement regading porn.

the 25 most powerfull people in porn are listed.

Larry Flynt number 1 then Berth Milton (Private) then Steve Hirsch.

At 16 is Persian Kitty (Beth Mansfield) due to her $1m per year income and her ability to bring up a family while running the company so sucessfully.

Anyone remember Seth Warshavsky? He is at 25 and is listed as a conman. I wonder if he will take them to court?

thaks for the tip!:)

Do you have the full list?

there was a small article about PK here last month :)

Yes give me 20 minutes and I will post it. The list is bollocks as they have gone more of people who are celebrity porn people as opposed to real life power figures.

Yea, can you post the full list?

Sweet, I can't wait to, take a looky :p

:thumbsup to Beth

I still remember reading her story years ago in Obscene Profits :1orglaugh

Congrats to PK :thumbsup

Any other GFY'ers on the list?

wow, congrats to Persian Kitty. that is quite the accomplishment.

awesome PK :) congrats on your success!

That's usually the way though. 'outsiders' rarely have a clue about who is really making the money in this business. Come to think of it many involved in it don't either :glugglug

There are alo MANY MANY people that make way more than 1 mill a year that will never be mentioned:winkwink:

Sometimes those who have the power to make things
happen or prevent things from happening aren't the
ones making the most money.

Or, in a changing industry, the one who is paving the way to
the future is seen as more powerful than the one who is
presiding over a sinking, yet still profitable, ship.

:2 cents:

besides it being bs, how old is that list?

gina lynn?

lol

The magazine came out 2 weeks ago. It is actually a great supplement with probably the best photography I have ever seen in it. The pictures of Sylvia Saint and Terri Summers are just amazing.

there are several people on this board that make twice that much, but PK is still significant because she was there at the beginning. Even before me.

The list is lame, yes.

Thehun isn't on that list? he's got the most visited website

I know alot of the big people who remain big because no-one knows who they are.

All respect due to PK, but she's higher than Bob Guccione? And Jenna Jameson are higher than both?

And Buttman's there but Ron Jeremy isn't?

It is about power, influence and respect. Persian Kitty is highly respected and knows how to make money for the people who advertise for her. Notice how she doesnt have a shit list and the hun does...why is that? For every $1 you spend with Persian Kitty you will make back $10 and she wont take on an advertiser unless she knows she can make the person the money back.

I know at least one...depending upon how one defines "big".

Look at all the East Europeans who make over $5m per month.

Name some of them? I can name 10. They are big and you dont know their names.

And all the Austrailians that do over $3m per month.

Best one is Tom Adams the content guy. Thet have him at 7 below Paul Fishbein but yet he makes the biggest selling content going for Hustler and Private. Without Tom you wouldnt have Private. His company made a bigger net profit than Private last year.

I wish I was in this list! :D

jenna is reportedly worth 10 million.

i wonder were lens is on that list?

Oh really.

Congrats to PK.
I remember her site way back in early 95.
She has come a long way.

so? doesn't make her "powerful".

i'm sure bob guccione is worth more. i know several people around here who aren't on the list who are worth more.

Tom Adams ( www.adultlabel.com )with all his satelite channels and $3bn fortune is below Paul Fishbein.

There is no way you could write a list that everyone would agree on.

I'm sure the list is ALL wrong... but it makes for great discussion. :)

It is totally wrong as none of the gangsters who run porn are on there.

Great egobooster there. Very mature

they really have no clue:2 cents:

I would say Ron from ccbill and Chris from paycom are at the top of that list.

the guys behind the scene:winkwink:

So where the fuck is juicy on that list?...

They are powerfull but guess who was the highest earner from porn last year?

Seth? Seth's not even in the business any more. And he's still bouncing old checks...

I would agree with Roger, Chris or Ron.
WG

Last year? None of the above. Nor would the correct party ever want to be on such a list. ;)

It was a guess :)

Who do you think made the top :winkwink:
WG

ROFL, nice try ;)

Can't blame me for trying :Graucho
WG

PK can I live in your garage? :(

That list is way off, at least 10 people in that list shouldn't be there.

Haha, this is true. And when am I going to see you again?

Ok Made another post with a prize!
