What is Gemma Massey's net worth? Meet ‘best-paid porn star’ discovered at supermarket who earned $34,000 a day
Can your life change at a supermarket? The miraculous life of Britain’s ‘best-paid porn star’ will make you believe it does. Gemma Massey, a glamour model, was discovered at the age of 19 when a photographer saw her and handed his card. She was working at her local store in Tamworth, Staffs, back then.
Now, 17 years later, the 36-year-old turned down £250,000 ($3,42,806) to film an adult movie in Los Angeles. No, we are not kidding. According to BirminghamLive, Massey said no to the offer as she can earn much more from her home. After globetrotting to film scenes and for photoshoots, Massey soon became the first British woman to appear on the front Penthouse magazine and had new cars and free surgery written in her contract.
The Covid-19 lockdown may have been a curse for many but it turned out to be a boon for Massey as more people have been searching for online sex pages. Towards the end of 2020, she set up her own fan page — gemmamassey.co.uk — which seems to amass more than £1M ($1.3M).
Who is Gemma Massey?
Born in 1984, Massey used to work as a dental nurse before her modeling career took off. “It all started for me when I was spotted stacking shelves in Asda when I was 19. I was training to be a dental nurse at the time and wanted to earn some extra money,” she told BirminghamLive in an interview.
“A guy approached me and told me he was a photographer and that I could be a glamour model. He gave me his card and decided to give him a call. I was earning less than £5 ($6.8) per hour at the time,” Massey added.
She continued, “I ended up being a page 3 model for lots of the tabloids and was a fans' favorite in the Daily Sport. As my popularity grew I went over to America to do modeling work there and became the first woman from the UK to appear on the front page of Penthouse magazine,” adding, “I got into adult films and at one point I was earning £25,000 ($34,000) per day. I would only work once a month. I had new cars and free surgery written into my contracts. I was earning a fortune.”
‘Excellent platform for all online sex workers’
Ever since she set up her page, the response has been phenomenal and she calls it an “excellent platform for all online sex workers”.
“The response has been absolutely unbelievable since I launched it in December. I was offered a £250,000 contract to do porn in Los Angeles recently but I turned it down because of the amount of money I can earn online just working in my living room. The site allows other online sex workers to access the site. It is an excellent platform for all online sex workers. I launched it just at the right time,” she said.
Massey added, “At the moment there is a huge demand for online sex sites. There are lots of people at home in lockdown and demand has soared. I can earn huge amounts of money and I don't even have to leave my living room. It is just phenomenal.”

Not just her fan page, Gemma also owns two tanning salons in Tamworth and Derby. “Glamour, porn and online sex work has really been brilliant for me. Not once have I not enjoyed my work and I have never been intimidated or exploited in any way. I am providing a service for many people out there and it is very lucrative,” she also said.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, her net worth can be estimated to be approximately $8M. Gemma earlier dated Towie’s Kirk Norcross and boasted on the BBC show that she was the highest-paid porn star.
