Mia Khalifa, formerly known as Mia Callista, is a former professional pornstar who leveraged the adult film industry over a very short time to create a successful, long-lasting brand name for herself. Although she performed in her last porn scene for a professional studio on February 24, 2015, in that same year, “…Khalifa was voted the ‘Number 1 Porn Star’ on Pornhub… xHamster reported that she was the most-searched-for adult actress of 2016. In 2018, she became the most-searched-for actress on Pornhub,” according to Wikipedia. Even though Mia hasn’t performed in a hardcore scene for a professional porn studio in nearly a decade, she continues to benefit & profit from the Mia Khalifa brand name to this very day.
Mia began practicing non-traditional sexual activity & adult work as a teen while she was with her first husband. She reportedly worked as a stripper & the couple became involved in the hot wife / cuckolding fetish. Eventually, Mia Khalifa “took the plunge” & began shooting for professional porn studios in Southern Florida. Mia’s first few porn scenes were with Score Group.
Although not a professing Muslim, Mia & one of the Florida production companies utilized her Middle Eastern (Lebanese) background, their creative license & the wonderful First Amendment of the United States Constitution to create multiple porn videos featuring the adult actress wearing a Muslim hijab. Mia received over $175,000 working exclusively for that studio & their affiliated entities. More importantly, these hijab porn videos were the central turning point for the Mia Khalifa brand.
It’s been said that “all press (positive or negative) is good press.” Although this isn’t always true, it certainly was for the Mia Khalifa brand name. Mia’s hijab porn scenes went viral & even caught the attention of the global Muslim community. Many devout Muslims were displeased, but their speaking out only created more curiosity, attention & publicity towards the videos, including in the Middle East.
Mia quickly transitioned out of performing hardcore adult films for the porn studios and into webcam modeling. From there, she used her brand name to achieve success in the self-made subscription-based content space. She has also worked in mainstream Hollywood, in music videos & TV shows. Mia used her notoriety to secure a job as a sportscaster & she also recently launched a retail accessory line.
Mia Khalifa utilized the professional porn industry to quickly build herself a brand name that she’ll be able to monetize & profit from for the rest of her life, and that without her needing to perform in any additional adult films.
