Personally I think it a little simplistic to reduce it all to who runs these things. Performers and consumers have agency and responsibility. I've also read in the past that porn starlets are often of Catholic background, if probably not very committed Catholics, which I suppose is unsurprising as I've also read in the past that a lot of porn girls come from the Midwest.
But here is an unscientific rundown on who runs the top ten porn companies based on this relatively fresh article:

MindGeek, which runs PornHub among others.
CEO is a Canadian named Feras Antoon. I cannot determine his background definitively but Antoon seems to be a surname associated with the Levant. Syria, Lebanon, Iraq. No indication he is Jewish - except in searches where the usual anti-Semites say everyone is a Jew.
Larry Flynt Publications
Run by voila! Larry Flynt. His pedigree is no mystery: A white trash redneck from eastern Kentucky. He was even once a bootlegger. Figures given that area's association with moonshine. I recall him telling Bill Maher years ago he was raised Baptist.
Playboy Enterprises
Founded of course by Hugh Hefner, who was raised a Methodist in the Midwest and was descended from prominent Mayflower passenger Plymouth governor William Bradford.
Private Media Group
Probably the biggest European operation. Majority owner is this Swede Berth Milton Jr.

No doubt to the disappointment of many - there is no indication he is Jewish.
Hammy Media Limited, which owns xHamster.
It is difficult to determine with certainty who owns this outfit.

Maybe that is a little disturbing in itself.
WGCZ Holdings, which owns XVideos.
Like with the above the people behind this are kinda in the shadows.

Core Magazine, a bunch of Japs. CEO is Shinichi Nakazawa - a kike name if there ever was one.
AVN Media Network, chairman and CEO is Tony Rios. Sounds Hispanic. Short little fucker too:

Paul Raymond Publishing, founded by now deceased and Liverpool born Paul Raymond. Father Jewish. Mother a devout Catholic.
Vivid Entertainment
Head guy is Steven Hirsch. According to this non-anti-Semitic book he is Jewish.

One not mentioned but notable is Bob Guccione of Penthouse notoriety. He was of wop Catholic background.

Don’t Mess With Jewish Porn King Michael Lucas
As Forward readers know, Michael Lucas is the Russian-born, New York-based gay adult-film producer whose fervent Zionism inspired production of the first gay porn film made in Israel with an all-Israeli cast.
Then this:

Taken from article:
A story little told is that of Jews in Hollywood’s seedier cousin, the adult film industry. Perhaps we’d prefer to pretend that the ‘triple-exthnics’ didn’t exist, but there’s no getting away from the fact that secular Jews have played (and still continue to play) a disproportionate role throughout the adult film industry in America. Jewish involvement in pornography has a long history in the United States, as Jews have helped to transform a fringe subculture into what has become a primary constituent of Americana. These are the ‘true blue Jews’.
