Jacob Rivera, a 43-year-old father, entrepreneur, and major figure in the adult industry, shares his experience of managing a thriving career in adult entertainment while maintaining a traditional family life in the Miami suburbs. Rivera, who has been in the adult industry for 26 years, stands as a testament to being a family man, breaking the common stereotypes associated with his profession.
Entering the adult industry at age 18, Rivera has carved out a significant presence. His family, including his father, cousins, and younger brother, has been involved in adult movies, while Jacob and his older brother have chosen to manage the operations of Filthy Kings, an innovative adult content search engine.
Rivera leads a life that defies the expectations of his professional choice. “When I’m not filming or working on the business, I am a normal guy. I go to my son’s soccer matches, work out, and spend quality time with my family,” he states, underscoring the normalcy of his daily life.
In his personal life, Jacob is a dedicated father, passionately recounting the story of how he and his wife met and connected over her son from a previous relationship. His work-life balance is a carefully orchestrated schedule that accommodates his demanding professional commitments and his role as a family man. “I live for my jiu-jitsu practice, and I’m proud to support my wife to be a stay-at-home mom. To the outside, we are a normal suburban family – our neighbors have no idea I’m a p*rn boss driving off to work to shoot movies, and that suits me fine,” he shares.
As the sole owner of Filthy Kings, Jacob looks towards a future where he might step back from filming and concentrate on mentoring new talent and exploring other ventures like real estate. His narrative challenges the clichés and shines a light on the diverse and intricate lives of those in the adult industry, proving that career choices do not limit one’s ability to be a devoted family person.
