When you’re the daughter of a renowned film director worth $3.6 billion, how do you show the world you’re powerful?

If you’re Mikaela Spielberg, you move to Nashville, get naked, and do things to yourself in front of a camera.

The adopted child of the mastermind behind Jaws, E.T., and nearly every other movie whose soundtrack you can whistle is living her best life in Tennessee, where she hopes to get a job as a stripper.

The Sun reports:

In an exclusive interview Mikaela…told how she has already started self producing solo porn videos — and says she would love to land a job as a dancer in a strip club once she obtains her sex worker license.

She speaks regularly to her parents — including adoptive mom Kate Capshaw (female lead of my favored Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) — and dropped the bomb of her career trajectory over FaceTime.

They were “intrigued” and “not upset.”

It seems Mikaela’s titillating turn was prompted partly by just being tired:

I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body. And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul.”

Ticket to soul-feeding: Porn?

Maybe — the 23-year-old’s serving others:

“I feel like doing this kind of work, I’m able to ‘satisfy’ other people, but that feels good because it’s not in a way that makes me feel violated.”

Like her dad, she’s got entrepreneurial aims. But, as explained via social media, she won’t be restricted by familial ties:

“I just launched my self produced adult entertainment career. Safe, sane, consensual is the goal y’all. My body, my life, my income, my choice. I owe not a single person my autonomy or virtue just because of a name.”

The girl’s set a lofty goal — financial independence from her parents:

“I can’t stay dependent on my parents or even the state for that matter – not that there’s anything wrong with that – it just doesn’t feel comfortable for me.”

[Pssst…you can definitely stay dependent on your parents. They have $3.6 billion.]

I’m guessing it’s difficult to liberate oneself from a lifelong billion-dollar tether, and stripping may not quite hit the number.

But heck — she’s sexual, and there’s money to be made:

“I’ve always been a very sexually natured person, which has gotten me in trouble before. Not in a predatory way, but just in the sense that people here in the South might not yet be comfortable with that. My main hope is just that I get somewhere lucrative enough to where I’m not tied down financially by things. And then I can really start saying to people there’s nothing wrong with me using my body in a way that feels comfortable to support myself.”

And for anyone who wonders, it’s all about power:

“This isn’t like an ‘end of the road’ or ‘I’ve hit bottom’ choice. This is a positive, empowering choice, I realized there is no shame in having a fascination with this industry and wanting to do something that is safe, sane, consensual.”

She’s made quite the trek to self-acceptance :

Mikaela told how it had been a huge confidence booster to show off her large natural breasts, which she describes as her “moneymaker” – and how she plans on producing more solo erotic videos to show off her curves. And while she said she’d be happy at turning her hand to fetish videos — she draws the line at having sex with another person on camera, out of respect for her supportive fiancé Chuck Pankow, 47. … “Honestly I have hated my chest for so long but I’ve finally learned to embrace it. That was one of the things when I uploaded these first couple of videos, I realized, ‘This is the moneymaker’ – my large chest.”

Lest you think otherwise, the privileged porn star’s childhood was far from idyllic:

She says she was groomed and abused by “predators” growing up – although she is keen to point out these men were outsiders and not anyone from her family or their circle of friends. She says that contributed to her suffering years of mental health issues including anorexia, borderline personality disorder and alcoholism. … Mikaela says her childhood problems were exacerbated when she was sent to a boarding school for troubled teens – which instead of improving her problems and behavior – actually had the opposite effect. “I came out of there worse than I was going in — with more anxiety and more attachment issues, more depression and more hatred from my body. I actually developed an eating disorder while I was living there,” she said.

Fast-forward to life-threatening behavior”

“I was really out of control from about the age of 11 years old, even to up up to two years ago. … So that out of control-ness only stopped pretty recently. When I was 21, I used to drink every day, and that went on for like two years until I almost died a couple of times.”

But she doesn’t blame Mom and Dad:

“It’s not my parents’ fault. They couldn’t have known.”

These days, she’s getting things in order:

She posted a series of raunchy self produced videos on PornHub — however she decided to take the videos down temporarily — until her application for a Tennessee sex worker license is approved. While making self produced porn videos is not illegal — Mikaela was adamant that she was keen to keep everything “legitimate and above board.” The first clips she made included one sensual video titled, “Huge Breasted Woman Pleasures Herself in Calm Environment.” Another video was called, “I Give My Huge Natural Breasts Some Love and Care with Rose Tea Oil.”

Mikaela Spielberg isn’t your typical trust fund Beverly Hills kiddo. She’s out in the world, ready to make her own mark — while, in her view, respecting her body and raking in some cash:

“I’m doing this, not out of an urge to hurt anybody or be spiteful about it, I’m doing this because I want to honor my body in a way that’s lucrative.”
