Lana Rhoades
Career
Rhoades was raised by a single mother in suburban Chicago and began performing in 2016 at nineteen. She stopped filming in late 2017 — an active career of roughly eighteen months — but kept winning audience awards for years afterwards, taking Pornhub’s Most Popular Female Performer in both 2019 and 2020 on the strength of a back catalogue she was no longer adding to. Since leaving she has run a subscription channel, a lingerie line with Yandy, a YouTube channel past a million subscribers and the podcast 3 Girls 1 Kitchen. Her 2021 promotion of a cryptocurrency and a 2022 NFT project, later abandoned, drew criticism.
Signature: The shortest filming career on this list and the largest post-career audience — the clearest case that in this category demand and output stopped being the same thing.
