Mia Khalifa, born on February 10, 1993, in Lebanon, is 31 years old. She entered the porn industry in October 2014, nearly a decade ago, aiming to keep her involvement secret. However, Mia quickly grew disillusioned and left the industry just three months later.
🌟 Early Life and Challenges
Mia's real name is Sarah Joe Chamoun. Born in Beirut, her family moved to the USA in 2001, escaping the Lebanese Civil War, and settled in Texas. She completed her Bachelor's degree in History from the University of Texas at El Paso. By the time she entered the porn industry at 21, Mia had faced numerous life challenges and failures, prompting her to seek new opportunities.
🌟 Rapid Rise to Stardom
Initially working as a webcam model, Mia soon joined various pornographic production companies. Despite her short stint, her videos became incredibly popular, and by December 2014, she was the number one pornstar on Pornhub.
🌟 Financial Reality
Contrary to popular belief, Mia only earned $12,000 from her pornographic career and didn't receive any money from the millions of views her videos garnered. This financial disparity highlights the exploitation within the industry.
🌟 Post-Porn Industry Struggles
After leaving the industry, Mia faced numerous challenges, including threats from ISIS due to a controversial video she shot wearing a burqa. This led to significant fear and anxiety, with Mia even receiving threats at her home.
Mia has been vocal about the exploitation in the porn industry, emphasizing how young, naive girls are often lured into it.
🌟 Social Media Influence
Despite her past, Mia has a massive following on social media, with over 26 million followers on Instagram, 5 million on Twitter, and 4.3 million on Facebook. There are countless fake and parody accounts in her name, and even a website that she does not own.
🌟 Personal Life
Mia has been married twice. Her first marriage to her high school sweetheart ended in divorce in 2014. In 2019, she married American professional chef Robert Sandberg, but they separated within a year. She was also in a relationship with Puerto Rican rapper Jhay Cortez until 2022.
