Nikki Benz
Career
Born in the Ukrainian SSR and raised in Toronto, Benz worked as a swimsuit model and stripper before e-mailing a director directly to enter the industry in 2003. She was Penthouse’s May 2008 cover model, its Pet of the Month for April 2010 and its Pet of the Year for 2011. Brazzers signed her as its first brand ambassador in 2016, the same year AVN inducted her into its Hall of Fame, five years after XBIZ named her Crossover Star of the Year.
Signature: One of two performers on this list to hold both a Penthouse Pet of the Year title and an XBIZ Crossover Star of the Year award, and the AVN Hall of Fame inducted her in 2016 on the strength of both.
