36.5k minus income tax. Unless you don't pay the IRS like the rich people, but that's illegal (if you are not rich).

If you're rich enough to not pay income tax, your money isn't coming from being employed.

Even the $365,000 level is not enough to not pay income tax.

Isn't prostitution illegal in most parts of the western world? So it's essentially tax free.

The IRS actually has a field for reporting illegal income. Tax evasion is a separate crime which often leads to criminals establishing or gaining a stake in legal business which they'll use to run their money through and pay taxes. Famously, Al Capone actually went to prison for tax evasion rather than for his other crimes.

Film it and now it's totally legal porn

weirdly in australia prostitution is legal but filming porn is mostly technically illegal (but we do it anyway because nobody cares)
