Porn - where is all that money going? Who's cashin in?

Question

According to anti-porn groups, porn, and specifically adult videos/DVDs, are a huge cash cow. They claim that literally billions is being made. If that's true who is actually pocketing all that $?
The performers don't make that much (maybe a couple of grand per film if they are "stars"). The guy who operates the camera ain't making much nor is the makeup person (yes, they do have them). The director isn't raking it in. Is the CEO of Vivid Video making $100 million a year? I bet not.
With legit Hollywood films you can see where the $ goes. Tom Cruise gets $15 million, director several million, production and marketing costs, etc. You can break that all down.
If it's true that porn vids are generating billions....somebody is making an absolute fortune!
But who?

The two guys who answered....come on! It's a serious question!
And I suppose some folks might answer "organized crime". But the Feds keep pretty close tabs on the Mob and it's business dealings. You can bet if the Feds could nail an industry like the porn industry for having Mob ties they'd do that in a heartbeat.

Answer 1

I honestly don't think they make quite as much as is expected.. (although, the producers/directors are generally making quite a bit.. if you've ever watched Family Business.. that guy has some money).. I think alot more is spent on medical costs, record keeping, fees for licensing, locations, and advertising than many people think
