Lana Rhoades has revealed that she is a multi-millionaire since leaving the adult entertainment industry.
The former adult star, who also goes by her real name Amara Maple, joined the world of adult entertainment in 2016.
Rhoades only filmed eight months' worth of content in two, four-month stints before she ultimately retired.
The 27-year-old has now carved out a career as an influencer and uses her platform to speak out about mental health, her disdain for adult film, and the dark side of the industry.

The former adult star was one of the most searched actresses on explicit websites and appeared in publications such as Hustler, Penthouse, and Playboy.
Despite her success in the industry, Rhoades revealed in an interview with Curious Mike that she was left with only "pickles".
"I thought $100 at the time was like so much money," she told the interviewer. "So getting $1,200 [for a scene] was like a big deal."
However, that all changed after Rhoades came across an influencer who was monetizing her social platforms and earning $15,000 to post content on Instagram without having to perform sex.
"The guys don't understand what's going on behind the scenes and then also people are like, 'Oh you knew what you got into' and you get backlash for talking out about it," she explained.

Since quitting adult film, the mom-of-one took control of her life and owns several businesses including an OnlyFans account and the Three Girls One Kitchen podcast with Alexa Adams and Olivia Davis.
During an interview on the BFFs podcast, Rhoades told Dave Portnoy, Josh Richards & Bri Chickenfry that her exit from the industry wasn’t just an escape from torment, it was also a ticket to wealth.
"The industry I did not get paid s**t," she said. "I probably had $100,000 in my bank account when I quit shooting p**n, now I'm a multi-millionaire."
Rhoades has candidly opened up about her career before she became an adult star.
She claimed that her father signed papers for her to work at a "restaurant similar to Hooters" when she was just 17.
"He signed the paper so that I could work there because it's a restaurant where you have to wear a sexy outfit and I wasn't even 18," she said on Curious Mike. "So that was my first kind of job where men sexualize you and look at you in that way.
"And I never thought that I was like pretty or anything growing up, so I was like 'wow they hired me here like I'm pretty enough to work here,'" she said, adding that after she turned 18, she went on to work as a dancer at a club before moving into p**n.
