You have a point here. Also, of all Dutch porn companies that were big in the 90s and that I knew and still know, most must have made some terrible decisions, having moved to cheaper locations, smaller offices, or even disappeared completely or went bankrupt. French companies that were huge in the 90s have disappeared completely as well. I think the industry was split up in much more smaller businesses of which many are ran from an attic by some teen. You can look at a super designed website with the most beautiful models and it can still be ran by one little punk.
As for the beautiful cars, swimming pools, houses... if you had three years with great sales you can go to the bank and get a 1 million mortgage. That doesn't make you a milionair, it makes you someone with a lot of debt. Or you can rent a Ferrari for a day for 350 euro (that's what it costs in Paris), put it in front of your house, take photos and post them on the web.
