Gym, tan, laundry are obviously very expensive these days.
How much does the cast of the Jersey Shore get paid for completing life’s simplest tasks? Almost $2 million a season for some cast members, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned!
The Guidos and Guidettes from Seaside Heights, New Jersey started out having to lobby for an extra $10,000 a season, but now in season six of the hit MTV reality show the top tanners on the show are pulling in the big bucks.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio are each taking home $150,000 per episode, with a season running about 12 episodes, which totals $1.8 million dollars, but they also get a reported $400,000 signing bonus at the beginning of the season, $200,000 bonus at the end of the season and for any additional reunion episodes they get the $150,000 for that too.
