Former porn actor Lana Rhoades has revealed she's making a lot more cash since ditching the industry as she warned other women about getting into adult movies in an attempt to make big bucks.
Speaking on YouTube channel BFFs with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, Rhoads said she decided to quit the industry after a 'collection of bad experiences' but it turned out to be a pretty smart move as she's now a multi-millionaire.
Rhoades also blasted the porn industry, saying: "The industry I did not get paid s***.
"I probably had $100,000 (£71,000) in my bank account when I quit shooting porn and now I'm a multi-millionaire."

Rhoades, who is now on OnlyFans, said: "I think there's still going to be girls who are infatuated with the industry, who think that it's very glamorous."
She continued: "That's what I warn girls against, it's not that glamorous. It's not even well paying. It's smarter to go into Instagram, or just do an OnlyFans."
When asked if she believes her current success on social media is down to her previous career in porn, Rhoades admitted: "You never know."
Before going on to say: "I'm kind of, like, the blueprint for how to get out of porn. And so that's what I tell girls - it's social media.

"That's how I got out. I started posting on Instagram every day and hustled. I blew up my Instagram, that's actually what blew me up to be number one PornHub - I was not number one before I quit porn."
Due to her hard work on social media, Rhoades can now earn a whopping $30,000 (£21,000) per post on her Instagram page, while also having more than 25,000 subscribers to her $5.99 (£4.00) a month OnlyFans accounts.
Alongside this, Rhoades has her own podcast, entitled 3 Girls 1 Kitchen, and if all that isn't quite enough to keep her busy, she also runs her own business empire with lucrative brand deals with companies including Fashion Nova.

Speaking on her own podcast, which she hosts alongside pals Alexa and Olivia, Rhoades has admitted to being left 'traumatised' by working in the porn industry.
"I'm not saying every scene I did was horrible," she said. "But there are a handful that were enough to do damage.
"There were 3-5 that were really traumatic for me, whether it's being sent to a set with someone who was way too old... or being pressured into doing something that I was scared of doing because it was too extreme. That can definitely be very traumatic.
"I would say that's the 100 percent contributor to why I left the industry."
