The cast of “Jersey Shore” could definitely afford their guido and guidette lifestyle as seasons progressed. Following the successful first season, the cast was paid more than their weekly gift card at the Shore Store. “Jersey Shore” went on for a total of six seasons. By the end of it all, the cast was raking in millions of dollars.
Fan favorites Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Pauly “Pauly D” DelVecchio were the top three breadwinners by the end of season six. Per Life & Style, all three earned $150,000 per episode then. With a 12-episode season, each of them earned $1.8 million! That’s not all because, according to Radar Online, these three got an additional $400,000 sign-on bonus as well as a $200,000 end-of-season bonus. Plus, they earned $300,000 for the two-part reunion series.

The salaries for the remaining cast members salaries vary. Jenni “JWoww” Farley is the fourth-highest-earning castmate from the show as she gets $100,000 per episode. Vinny Guadagnino makes $90,000 per episode, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro made $80,000 per episode, and Deena Cortese made $40,000. These amounts are anything but small and the incredible success of the show is why the reality stars are getting paid so much. However, one castmate makes the most thanks to other side ventures.
