As the Jersey Shore crowd is getting around busy with life’s trivialities, they are lining their pockets and not spending money like ordinary citizens; can you imagine how many bucks find their way into their wallets? RadarOnline has gotten exclusive information that for the leading members the figures can run up to $2 million per season!
Past are the early days when the Seaside Heights residents had to lobby to get the additional necessary $10,000 per season, now they are into season six the money is surely rolling in for the MTV’s hit showmen.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino are the ones whose pay ceiling is the most enviable: they rake in $150,000 each episode, which, multiplied by 12 episodes, equals $1.8 million dollars, plus they are reported to get a $400,000 bonus at the beginning of the season and a $200,000 bonus when the season’s over. Besides, whenever a reunion episode comes along they get the $150,000 extra. That gets them well over the $2 million mark.
Those three are absolute toppers; Jennie “JWoww” Farley comes in for an episode’s $100,000 and Vinny Guadagnino for about $90,000. Another $10,000 off for the couple Sammi Sweetheart and Ronnie Magro.
Deena Cortese, who has joined in but recently, is drawing in something like $40,000 for an episode, yet chances are her figure will grow up in the foreseeable future, a source reveals. Since Cortese has been making herself out a dramatic person, what with her recent arrest and girl-girl kissing, the sum she gets is on the rise.
