The married couple who have become Pornhub’s most-viewed amateurs of 2022 are raking in some serious cash each month from their unorthodox pastime.
Puerto Rican performer Yiny, 38, and her husband Leon, 42 - who go by the name Yinyleon - beat thousands of other verified adult content creators to the top spot this year.
They managed to rack up 1.2 billion views on Pornhub after uploading around 250 videos to the site in the past four years, filming new content between two or three times a week.
Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Texas-based Yiny and Leon revealed they had made more than $2,000 within their first month on Pornhub.
But that’s nothing to how much they’re reeling in these days – making between $15,000 to $25,000 a month.

Leon explained: "I was in the military for 13 years, but I left because what I made in the Army in a year, here I make in a month and a half, two months.
“It’s ridiculous.”
The amount is more than Yiny, who used to work as a UPS driver before her move into porn, has ever made.

And that’s not it either, as Yinyleon also has a successful account on OnlyFans, where they charge $9.99 a month for exclusive content.
The couple also have 1.5 million followers on Instagram and more than 600,000 on Twitter.
"Pornhub moves everything,” Leon said.
“When a video is featured on the main page, that video reaches millions. Millions of people are seeing your Instagram and your Twitter handles.”

The couple decided to venture into the adult industry after watching a YouTube video of another couple talking about their success in it.
“We were always very sexual, and we said, ‘Let’s do porn’,” Yiny, who draws in the fans with her size 32HHH breasts and large bum, recalled.
While Yinyleon have learned how to light their shots properly over time, it’s their outdoor videos shot in the middle of a run or hike that prove to be popular - a category which has grown 121 percent this year, according to Pornhub.

Yiny said: “I think that’s why we rose to the top — because everything looks so real, the ladies are so comfy on the grass, while we're on top of rocks, trees… anywhere.”
But despite their success, Leon admitted he doesn’t consider himself a porn star.
“It's never going to be my intention to try to look professional or anything,” he added.
“But thank God people say, 'Wow, what great production you guys have.' Really, it’s just us with a cellphone.”
