A stripper’s income can vary as much as an actor’s income varies. Anything from 0 per night to thousands per night. Some may even go home in debt.
The usual way stripper income is calculated depends on where they work. But her money usually comes from dancing and spending time with a client.
Most clubs hire strippers/exotic dancers on their own, meaning if they have to generate their own income by approaching customers and selling them dances/VIP time or taking tips on stage. If they don’t sell anything or take tips, then they don’t earn anything. If they have to pay the club to work there (which is often the case), they go home in debt.
I’d say most girls don’t make a very good income and would probably be better off stacking shelves at Wal-Mart for this reason.
But if you look at the other side, the top 10% of girls who use techniques like sales and psychology make really big incomes, more than doctors who have taken years to learn their trade. These girls live in fabulous houses, drive luxury cars and have money to save, invest and buy many luxuries.
The girls in the middle earn a pretty good salary, and would probably do better than a job that would require a degree for. An average girl in the US would probably come home to $40,000 a year working 3 or 4 nights a week.
A top girl would earn between $400,000 and $500,000 a year working 4 nights a week.
This also applies to Canada, UK and also some places in Europe like Paris.
