The Jersey Shore stars’ salaries have always been a topic up for debate. These kids seem to have it made! They get to go on vacation a few times a year and party with friends for a couple months at a time. Most people have to pay for vacations, not the other way around!

Although they don’t all make the same amount, one thing is for sure – it pays to party for these guys! According to Radar Online, Snooki, The Situation, and DJ Pauly D are the top earnings, getting paid $150k for each episode of season 6! On average, there are 12 episodes per season. That adds up to a whopping $1.8 million! That’ll but pregnant Snooki plenty of diapers and formula.

Oh! Did we mention that they also get a $400,000 sign-on bonus and a $200,000 check at the end of the season, too? That rings their total up to $2.5 million. The other members of the cast get bonuses as well, but their pay is significantly less.

Snooki’s BFF and spin-off co-star, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, brings in about $100,000 per episode and Vinny Guadagnino makes $90,000 per episode! Fans may recall that a homesick Vinny left Seaside Heights during the fifth season after his anxiety level became unbearable. He missed 3 episodes – that means his trip home cost him nearly $300,000!

On-again, off-again couple Ronnie Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola make $80,000 per episode each. No word on if they get bonuses for every time they make-up and break-up.

Last but not least is Deena Cortese, who joined the franchise during its third season. She is only getting $40,000 per episode but as you’ve surely noticed, she’s been making headlines for her recent drunken arrest. She looks to be following in Snooki’s footsteps and judging by Snooki’s paycheck, that’s not a bad idea. Surely, Deena’s arrest will make her more valuable to producers! In the world of Jersey Shore, arrrests = ratings!

Let’s also not forget that the entire cast are capitalizing on their own business lines. Snooki alone has enough product lines to make a guido dizzy! From bronzer to books, girl is raking in the cash to spoil her little pickle-on-theway.

To pay these morons that kind of money is disgusting. Take away the show and each would be either making 9 dollars an hour or in rehab. No wonder America is going to hell.
Yeaaaaaah Buddy

Why the hell his Ronnie and Sammie getting paid so less? In actual fact they brought 50% of the total drama in the house.Therefore without them the show would have being much less entertaining and drama free.

Furthermore, Mike and Nicole’s pay checks in my opinion are adequate for their contributions to the show. On the contrary however; why is Paul D getting paid the same as Mike and Nicole? He brought the most least drama to the show and was the least controversial house mate. It is true however, that he came up with the majority of the shows slogans but I question if that is enough to justify his paycheck?

In addition; I think Vinny and Jenny deserve the same paycheck as their contribution to the show in my opinion has been equal.

And finally Deena, has being in my opinion well underpaid for her contribution to the show. She brought a lot of drama to the show and therefore deserves a more fitting paycheck.

To all the haters, you need to understand that this is showbiz and their are big bucks involved. It is like any business which is designed to generate big dollars. In the first season the cast members were making $2,500 an episode and look at them now? Their are all self-made millions and you haters are just mad it ain’t you.

Sad! Sad! Sad! Worthless no talent losers get paid 5 figures an episode for doing nothing. While people like myself bust our asses for $70,000 a year. It’s also sad that people like paramedics, doctors, nurses etc etc have to bust their asses 12 hours a day to make $60-$100 a year. These same people that work and have a purpose unlike the losers you see on these horrible reality shows.
