Kayden Kross Net Worth $4.5 Million
Kayden Kross spent her childhood between Sacramento and Placerville, with her mother, after her father abandoned them when she was only four years old; she matriculated from Ponderosa High School, and right after that, she began stripping because she wanted to rescue her pony from a slaughter house. After the first day at the job she earned enough money to buy it, so even though she came to study Psychology at California State University, Sacramento, she decided to quit and to pursue further her career in the entertainment industry.
Kayden soon signed an exclusive performing contract with Vivid Video in 2006. While she was working for them, she appeared in a number of film titles such as “Kayden’s First Time” (2007), “Hard Time” (2007), and “Be Here Now” in the same year. However, she wasn’t satisfied with the company, so she became a free agent one year later when she did not renew her contract, and signed a contract with Adam & Eve after a month, as well as launching her own official website named ClubKayden.com. She subsequently signed a multi-year contract with Digital Playground, and one of her first films with them, “The Smiths” (2010), immediately became and has continued to be a best seller. While with them, she was given the lead in “Body Heat” (2010), a relatively big budget feature. All of these appearances added a considerable amount to her net worth.
To speak further about her career in the entertainment industry for adults, she co-hosted the 2010 AVN Awards show with fellow porn actress Kirsten Price and comedian Dave Attell. She was also a “Penthouse” magazine Cover Girl, and starred in “Tyler’s Wood” (2009), in the role of Tiger Woods’ wife, which also increased her net worth by a large margin. She had a pause in her career as a porn star in 2013 when she was pregnant, but soon she came back and continued to play in films. Most recently, she starred in “Jesse: Sex Machine” (2015), and “Highway To Havasu” (2017).
Additionally,, Kayden also tried herself as a real actress, and made a number of guest appearances in such TV series as “The League”, “Blue Dream”, “Braking Bad”, and many others, increasing further her net worth.
Thanks to her career as a porn star, Kayden has won many prestigious awards, but the most important ones are Hot d’Or award for Best American Starlet, Venus Award for Best Actress International, Night Moves Award for Best Female Performer and XBIZ Award for Acting Performance of the Year.
