I, like many teens and twenty-somethings, am guilty of tuning into
MTV's classy reality show
"Jersey Shore" on a weekly basis. Though the heavy drinking, constant partying, cat fights and one night stands don't exactly portray this bunch as an admirable group, it sure is entertaining, and apparently they're using their shocking and instant fame to their advantage...while it lasts.
According to this
article, the cast of
"Jersey Shore" are each asking for
$30,000 per episode for their third season . And guess what, they're getting something pretty close to exactly that. A lot of college students are paying that much in year to do the same thing the cast does and gets paid to do--nothing and party. The first season, everyone made about $5,000 per episode and is currently getting $10,000 per episode for the second season. For mankind's sake, I almost hope there isn't a fourth season.
On top of the money they make on the show, a few of the cast members are making
bank for showing up at parties, DJ-ing, and dancing with a bunch of other talentless "stars." Snooki makes about
$20,000 for walking a red carpet event, Pauly D makes the same in a night DJ-ing at an event, and "The Situation" is not only going to be on "Dancing with the Stars" this year, but is also expected to make
millions with his several endorsement deals.
