Riley Reid — Biography & Career

Riley Reid, born July 9, 1991, is an American performer and entrepreneur whose screen career began in 2010, when she was 19. She briefly worked as a stripper before entering the industry and first used the name Paige Riley. Within a few years, she had developed a national profile. In 2013, LA Weekly ranked her eighth on a list of ten performers it identified as potential breakout stars.

Her visibility continued to grow through both trade recognition and broader media coverage. CNBC included her on its annual “Dirty Dozen” list in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Reid won the XBIZ Award for Best New Starlet in 2013 and the XBIZ Award for Female Performer of the Year in 2014, becoming the first performer to receive those two honors in consecutive years. She later won the AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year in 2016, and her career total passed 50 awards.

As creator platforms became a larger part of the business, Reid expanded her work online. She joined OnlyFans in 2020 and later sold promotional posts to other creators through the platform. In 2021, she was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.

In 2023, Reid launched Clona, a virtual companion platform that allows users to interact with AI-generated versions of participating creators. Reid and Lena the Plug were introduced as the platform’s first two AI companions. She was later inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2025, following earlier awards, repeated media listings, and ventures in creator platforms and AI-based media.
