I asked my ATF last time that how much she made last year. She said she made ~200k. I know she is a top-tier girl in the club and very popular(I have to schedule time with her to make sure I can have her), but I am still stunned when she said it.
A lot of that has to do with where your ATF is working at (city, not so much as to which club).
My (now retired) ATF made between 50 - 60k working typically 3 weekends a month in Vegas. She would fly or drive into Vegas Thursday or Friday evening leaving Sunday morning. If it was slow she would work Sunday night, if it was really slow she would stay and work Monday night. It was crazy, sometimes she wouldn't even cover her expenses, then the next weekend she would clear 5K.
She transferred to camming and was making the same amount of money her first year and never even had to leave her home. When she got her boobs redone she earned 100k in 1 month (no joke). She still cams to this day and is past her prime (but still looks good), so I'd be surprised if she makes 50k a year now camming. BTW typical stripper logic, when she came across that windfall of money, she blew it as quick as she made it. She made enough money to pay cash for a nice house, but instead continued to rent, and bought two expensive cars. One for her and one for her son, both cars were totaled within a year.
Dancers always seem to be saying how they haven't even made $100 yet whenever I see them. I estimate my current favorite makes about $900 a week, and she works about 45 weeks out of the year, which is around 40K a year. This is the black hole of strip club cities known as Columbus Ohio, so that is likely the problem.
My All Time Favorite danced about a decade ago, back when the clubs were a lot more hopping and the dances were a lot more intimate. She mentioned making over 140K a year when she finally quit, which seemed quite possible at the club at that time.
One of my favorites goal is a 1000 day or she wont go home. She is fine and dam near lives in VIP. UHM. She works six days a week with non-stop hustling.
I posted an analysis of my old ATF's income a couple of years ago. Don't recall the exact numbers but I think I estimated $125K per year. I estimate the DS makes $90K yearly not counting my money.
My ATF hardly works; she has several big money geriatric regulars and so she doesn't hustle. I'm her only regular that's poor; i.e. I'm a drop in the bucket for what I spend on her. From what I can tell, she makes about $75k a year as it is but she could make 3x that if she showed up more and pluvked the easy money from the younger guys. But she's quite happy as it is.
A previous ATF (God rest her soul) for a couple of years made well over 6 figures (one year she had figured was about 300K), almost all in cash. She not only danced but also was a pretty popular and in demand escort. I knew her from in the early days and took pretty good care of her back then, and she always took care of me even when she was really making the bucks. Problem was most of it either went up her nose or was gambled away. from what I've seen, most (most, not all, but most) of these girls the more they make, the crazier (or stupider) they get in their spending. I think most of them don't ever think the good time will end, but when it does it does hard.
I know when my ATF was dancing her goal was $500/night. She would work 3 or 4 days a week. Many times I would get a text halfway thru her shift when it was slow telling me she was only half way to her goal and wanting me to come see her. So that is about $100K per year with no taxes
So looks like my ATF INDEED makes a lot! On a slow day, she would make slightly less than 1 grand. On a crazy day it could be several Gs. This is incredible. I wish I can make money that easy.
Since, when you ask people how much they make, 90% of the time, they will:
A) Ask you what the fuck is wrong with you, asking them that question when you barely know them,
B) Politely decline to tell you, or
C) Give you a number that's waaaaay bigger than the truth.
$200K per year probably means at least $1K average net per shift. I'm not in the league to the top mongers here, but I've never met a dancer for whom walking out the door with $1K was not an unusually good night.
One dancer makes over 5 million a year. Or she would if I ever paid her the price she requested. Maybe if I had Donald trump's money and lost my brain at the same time.
If you want to do something different in a strip club for a change, order a beer, sit back and watch one of the better dancers. Keep track of the number of dances she does and how much she is making on each. Estimate the club's share and what she tips out. One of my favorites usually does 6 or 8 VIP dances in an hour and maybe another 6-8 floor dances. The songs are usually cut short at this club. At the going rates this is probably $150 - 200$/hr after tip out and the club's take. Granted not every hour is like that, but I would suspect that is not too far from the norm for her. She works 5 or 6 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week so do the math. Maybe $100k-$150k a year? She is pretty reliable and usually there, never wasted, so I suspect that she is banking most of the money. But you can collect your own data, if you are not too distracted. As this is a cash business, and many dancers are a bit flighty, I suspect that most dancers don't have much idea of how much they spend and hence how much idea of what they earn.
A few I've been closer with have indicated to me that a $1,000 night is definitely the outlier...either a whale happens to be enamored with them or, in one case, she did 12 very high mileage vips in one night. Who would have liked to have been #10-12? Oh, she was trying to earn enough to go on vacation the next week.
I don't have an ATF. This is just so personal evidence I have regarding strippers' income. I was talking to one stripper once about her other job. She said she had a part-time job putting make-up on women in Macy's and that job pays her $30 an hour. She seemed super happy with that. Yes, that is just part time and maybe she just loved doing it. But still, if you extrapolate, $30 an hour means about $60K a year. So I would be really shocked if a typical stripper makes over $100K a year.
Who really knows I am sure in places like NYC or Vegas they make 1000 a nite maybe more with a few business like girls doing much more but I know a few of these girls very well and they don't live in nice apartments the cars that I see them driving are pretty beat up or old I have no idea but they certainly don't live very well for this area I'm sure that some of you guys will tell me about some girl that is doing great but my experience tells me other wise
A stripper I see a couple times a year tells me she aims for $500 a night and tries to work 3 or 4 nights a week. She claims to manage exceed her goal more often than she doesn't. So I imagine 80K is a reasonable assumption for her yearly take if her numbers are legitimate.
I suspect what keeps most of their numbers down is the number of nights they work. A good weekend and a lot of them probably don't work for a week.
I'm always hearing about dancers who are preggers signing up for WIC. Yeah I know, the feds can't see your cash income. But if you were making $80 grand plus, would you bother with WIC?

If I was spending $79.5 grand? Probably.
