Not necessarily. If the cost of the CJ isn't materially significant to Playboy's earnings and CJ doesn't materially impact those earnings then Playboy doesn't have to break it out and won't.

Willie's right: there's no way she's taking $15m a year out of a company that grosses 37m. That only happens when there is a founder with no lenders around and the founder is deliberately bleeding it dry, or there is some monopoly involved.

Jenna J is probably doing very well, possibly making more than any other girl in porn ... but it doesn't take anywhere near $15m to accomplish that. Rocco Siffredi is probably the performer with the highest income, not any of the girls.

As for Jenna J retiring – companies are bought and sold all the time. People know how this stuff works. The possibility of key contributors leaving a company after acquisition isn't new. They'll have accounted (and discounted) for it.

A more interesting question is what Playboy plans to do with CJ. You don't do acquisitions out of boredom; someone at Playboy thinks they can make a lot more money out of it than they had to pay to buy it.

PS. Keep in mind there's a pretty good chance doesn't own all of CJ. Any early investors who funded the capital to get CJ running may never get mentioned anywhere but may take a large chunk of the purchase payment.
