Mia Khalifa’s career in adult films may only have lasted three months, but four years after quitting the industry, she still remains one of the most popular porn actresses in the world.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that it appears that a short-lived porn career has left Mia Khalifa with a sizeable degree of internet fame, but quite little cash.

The adult actress-turned-media personality has revealed how much she made as a porn star, tweeting on Monday:

“People think I’m racking in millions from porn. Completely untrue. I made a TOTAL of around $12,000 in the industry and never saw a penny again after that.”

According to the 26-year-old internet star, terrorists once sent her a picture doctored to make it look like she was beheaded.

She added: "I was banned from a handful of countries… Egypt… Afghanistan… Very Muslim countries were deeply offended by it, and I’m Catholic.”

Khalifa recalled how after the hijab-wearing scene was released, her social media footprint began to grow quickly. “I went from 400 followers on Instagram to like 200,000 in the span of three days and then it just kept snowballing until I was at 2 million like 6 months later.”
