In January 2014 Riley Reid became the first performer to win XBIZ’s Best New Starlet and Female Performer of the Year awards in consecutive years. Twelve years later, her trophy count stands at more than 50, an AVN Hall of Fame induction announced for the Class of 2025, and a guest spot on a Netflix real-estate series in November 2025.
Riley Reid is an American performer who has built a second career as an entrepreneur. This profile follows her career through trade-press awards reports and mainstream coverage, and it says where a fact comes only from her own posts or from a platform’s own awards. It contains no explicit description and does not link to any paid platform.
Source note: Belloria opened Wikipedia and its cited trade-press references, the AVN Pornhub year-end report, IMDb’s biography of Pasha Petkuns and The Tab. It could not open Playboy, Instagram or X directly. Her birth date and marriage date come from her own posts and from IMDb, so they are self-reported. Pornhub Awards are the platform’s own awards.
Who Is Riley Reid?
Riley Reid is an American adult-film performer who has won more than 50 industry awards, including the 2014 XBIZ Award for Female Performer of the Year and the 2016 AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year. CNBC placed her on its list of porn’s most popular stars in 2014, 2015 and 2016, according to Wikipedia.
Early Life and Background
Reid was born in Miami Beach, Florida, according to Wikipedia. She briefly worked as a stripper before entering film in 2010, according to a 2012 Touch Me! Magazine item cited by Wikipedia, a claim Wikipedia itself marks as needing verification. She performed from the age of 19 under the name Paige Riley at first, according to LA Weekly. In 2013 LA Weekly ranked her eighth on a list of performers who could be “the next Jenna Jameson”.
Career
Breakout and back-to-back XBIZ wins, 2012 to 2014
Reid won NightMoves’ Best New Starlet (Editor’s Choice) award in 2012, then XBIZ’s Best New Starlet award in 2013 and its Female Performer of the Year award in 2014, making her the first performer to win those two awards consecutively, according to XBIZ as cited by Wikipedia.
AVN Performer of the Year, 2016
In January 2016 AVN named her Female Performer of the Year and she took several fan-voted AVN awards that night. She won Pornhub’s Most Popular Female Performer award in 2018 and again in 2022, along with multiple other Pornhub category awards, according to Wikipedia citing XBIZ. In 2020 she won XBIZ’s Performer Showcase of the Year and Marketing Campaign of the Year awards.
Hall of Fame, 2021 and 2025
XRCO inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 2021, according to AVN. AVN announced its Hall of Fame Class of 2025 on 31 December 2024 and named her among the inductees. Some low-quality websites say the induction was in 2026. AVN’s own announcement and Wikipedia give 2025, so Belloria uses 2025.
OnlyFans, Clona and Playboy
Reid joined OnlyFans in 2020 and later sold promotional posts to other creators, a practice Business Insider described in 2022. In 2023 she launched Clona, a virtual companion platform that lets users chat with AI versions of participating creators. She and the creator Lena the Plug were its first two AI companions, according to 404 Media and Rolling Stone. Playboy profiled her in September 2024 as a business “mogul”, which is Playboy’s own framing.
Selling the OC, 2025
In November 2025 Reid and her husband appeared in Selling the OC on Netflix, touring a $9 million oceanfront house in Orange County with agent Kaylee Ricciardi, according to The Tab. The couple were looking for a family-friendly home outside Los Angeles.
Major Work and Notable Projects
- XBIZ Best New Starlet (2013) and Female Performer of the Year (2014), the first consecutive pair of wins.
- AVN Female Performer of the Year (2016) and AVN Hall of Fame (Class of 2025).
- XRCO Hall of Fame (2021).
- Pornhub Awards: Most Popular Female Performer in 2018 and 2022 (platform awards).
- Clona (2023) and her appearance on Selling the OC (2025).
Current Projects and Latest Updates
Reid’s most recent confirmed milestones are the AVN Hall of Fame induction for the Class of 2025 and the Selling the OC appearance in November 2025. Wikipedia lists a 2026 fan award for a collaboration with Angela White and Mia Malkova. Belloria found no new announcements in the sources reviewed. A list circulating online places her sixth on Pornhub’s 2025 global chart, but AVN’s report on the chart names Lily Phillips as number six, so Belloria does not state a 2025 rank for her.
