What Is Stormy Daniels’ Net Worth?
As of today, March 12, 2025, Stormy Daniels’ net worth is estimated to be around $250,000. This figure is based on her earnings from adult films, directing, writing, public appearances, and settlements, offset by legal fees and other expenses. Her financial situation has been subject to significant fluctuations due to various legal battles and settlements.
Early Career and Earnings in Adult Film Industry
Stormy Daniels, born Stephanie Gregory, began her career in the adult film industry at the age of 23 after initially stripping at 17. Before entering the adult film industry, she earned an average of $300 per night stripping, eventually making upwards of $1,000 on good nights. Her entry into the adult film world involved an initial contract with Wicked Pictures, with typical contracts for newcomers paying around $75,000 per year. For her second contract with Wicked Pictures, Daniels’ annual salary rose to $250,000.
She won the Best New Starlet Award at the 2004 AVN Awards. Starting in 2004, she also took on directing responsibilities at Wicked Pictures. From 2004 to 2018, Daniels directed over 90 films. She has starred in more than 180 adult films and produced more than 65. She is currently retired from acting in adult movies, but she performs around the country at strip clubs as a featured dancer.
Income from “Full Disclosure” and Related Legal Issues
In 2018, Stormy Daniels gained international attention due to her alleged affair with Donald Trump and the subsequent legal battles. She was paid $800,000 to write her memoir, “Full Disclosure,” published in October 2018. However, she later claimed that her then-attorney Michael Avenatti stole $300,000 from the book deal funds. In June 2022, Avenatti was convicted of fraud and embezzlement and sentenced to 14 years in prison, with four years specifically related to the theft from Daniels.
Legal Battles with Donald Trump and Associated Costs
Stormy Daniels faced significant legal expenses due to a libel case she lost against Donald Trump in 2018. As a result, she was initially ordered to pay $293,000 of Trump’s legal fees. After losing an appeal, the total amount she was ordered to pay Trump increased to $600,000. Despite this, Daniels has publicly stated her refusal to pay this amount, citing both a lack of funds and a belief that the order is unfair.
Settlement from Improper Arrest in Ohio
In September 2019, Stormy Daniels received a settlement of $450,000 related to an improper arrest in Ohio that occurred a year earlier. The arrest took place at Sirens Gentlemen’s Club in Columbus, Ohio, where she was accused of violating the state’s “no touching” law for strip clubs. She sued the police department for $2 million in January 2019 because she believed the arrest to be politically motivated. A March 2019 internal investigation classified the arrest as improper, leading to the $450,000 settlement.
Other Income Sources
Daniels has received income from various other sources, including a reported $100,000 from NBC for her participation in a documentary. She has also made appearances in mainstream films and television shows such as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (2005) and “Knocked Up” (2007), though specific earnings from these appearances are not publicly detailed. She continues to perform at strip clubs across the country as a featured dancer.
Real Estate Investments
In 2014, Stormy Daniels and her then-husband Glendon Crain purchased a home in Forney, Texas, for $215,000. This property was listed for sale in 2020 for $352,000 and eventually sold in January 2021, suggesting a potential profit on the investment, although specific details of the final sale price and associated costs are not available. In June 2022, a few months before their marriage, Barrett Blade paid $535,000 for a 2.2-acre property in Dunnellon, Florida.
Awards and Honors
Throughout her career, Stormy Daniels has received numerous awards and honors, recognizing her contributions to the adult film industry. These include five AVN Awards, four XRCO Awards, three XBIZ Awards, four F.A.M.E. Awards, nine NightMoves Awards, and three Adam Film World Guide Awards. In 2014, she was inducted into the NightMoves Hall of Fame in 2007 and the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame. In recognition of her cultural impact, May 23, 2018, was declared “Stormy Daniels Day” in West Hollywood, California, where she also received a key to the city from Mayor John Duran.
Personal Life and Marital History
Stormy Daniels has been married five times. She married fellow adult film actor Pat Myne on August 29, 2003, and took the last name Clifford. The couple divorced in 2005. On November 4, 2007, Daniels married actor/producer Michael Mosny (aka Mike Moz). In July 2009, Stormy was charged with domestic violence after allegedly hitting Mike, and the two divorced later that year. In 2011, Daniels welcomed a daughter, Caiden, with musician/adult film actor Glendon Crain (aka Brendon Miller). She and Glendon married on November 25, 2015.
