  • Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi’s original per-episode earnings went from US$2,200 to US$150,000, while Instagram influencer Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley was voted one of the Most Powerful Women in Reality TV
  • Pauly ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio Jr is reportedly raking in US$40,000 to US$60,000 per DJ set, while Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino is probably just happy to be out of prison for tax evasion

When Jersey Shore first premiered in 2009, its cast immediately started making headlines – both on and off camera. While the show caused controversy for its portrayal of Italian-Americans in New Jersey, it also smashed ratings. The original series secured six more seasons until the end of its run in 2012.

But that was only the start of what the franchise had to offer. Of course, you can’t keep a good “guido” down, and multiple spin-offs like The Pauly D Project, All Star Shore and Snooki & JWoww followed the cancellation.

Who can forget The Situation, one of the show’s biggest breakout stars? After reportedly earning US$150,000 an episode on Jersey Shore, he became a regular on the reality TV circuit, appearing on shows like Dancing with the Stars and Celebrity Big Brother. He also wrote a couple of books, released a workout video, launched a vitamin line with GNC, and bagged endorsements with Devotion Vodka and Reebok Zig Tech shoes.

But sadly for Mike, following a series of run-ins with the taxman, he’s been left with a mere US$300,000. He also served eight months in prison for tax evasion.

8. Deena Nicole Buckner (née Cortese), 37

Estimated net worth: US$2 million
