What is Asia Carrera's Net Worth?

Asia Carrera is a former adult film star who has a net worth of $500 thousand. Carrera was once one of the best-known adult film stars in the world, appearing in a number of productions. Although she is probably best known for her work in the adult film industry, she also became a voice actor. She is also a video game enthusiast. Despite her interesting past, Carrera now lives a fairly "normal" life as a mother who lives in Utah. Asia is also an accomplished student who attended Rutgers on a full academic scholarship. In addition, she is rumored to have an IQ of 156.

Early Life

Jessica Steinhauser was born on August 6th of 1973 in New York City. Raised in New Jersey by a German mother and a Japanese father alongside three siblings, Jessica's academic talents became clear at an early age. By the time she was 16, she was living in Japan and working as an English teacher in Tsuruga, Fukui, Japan.

Eventually, she scored over 1440 on the SAT and won a number of scholarships. These included the National Merit Scholarship, a Garden State Scholarship, and a full academic scholarship to Rutgers University. She then studied at Rutgers for a number of years, majoring in Japanese and business. However, she never actually graduated. During this period, Steinhauser also became a member of Mensa for the first time and learned that her IQ was 156. She is still a member of Mensa, although the organization attempts to distance itself from her due to her past as an adult film star.

Career

In 1993, Asia Carrera began her career as an adult film star. Two years later, she had become so established in the industry that she had won the AVN Female Performer of the Year Award. She eventually appeared in more than 260 adult films. After a decade of appearing in a number of adult productions, she retired and married Don Lemmon, a nutritionist and author. Before she retired, she established herself as a voice actor, becoming known mostly for erotic hentai OVAs through the publishing company Pink Pineapple. Some of her notable roles were in hentai films like "Immu" and "Shusaku." In 2001, she attended the Big Apple Anime Fest in New York City and was a guest of honor.

In 2012, Carrera was the partial subject of a documentary called "After Porn Ends." By this point, she had been out of the industry for almost a decade. The documentary focuses on her life, and it highlights her membership in Mensa. Outside of these roles, Asia also booked a cameo role in 1998's "The Big Lebowski." Carrera is also a video game enthusiast who reportedly ran her own "Unreal Tournament" server and was a guest reviewer for "Maximum PC" magazine.

Relationships

Asia's first marriage was to Bud Lee, an adult film director. However, this marriage ultimately led to a divorce after eight years. The same year the divorce was finalized, Asia married Don Lemmon, retired from the industry, and relocated to St. George, Utah. The couple welcomed their first child into the world in 2005, and Lemmon was killed in a car accident one year later. Just months after Don's passing, Carrera gave birth to a second child, although she ultimately placed this child for adoption.

In 2015, Asia was discovered passed out at her daughter's school. The authorities were notified, and it was soon determined that she had a blood-alcohol content of .254 percent. This is an incredibly high BAC level, and it is over three times the legal limit. Since she drove her daughter to the school, the police charged her with a DUI. Asia then pleaded no contest and was sentenced to house arrest.
