When MTV first aired Jersey Shore in 2009, no one realized the pop cultural phenomenon it was going to become over its six season run. Whether watching out of curiosity, actual fandom or because, like a car wreck, you just can’t look away, the eight “Guidos” and “Guidettes” selected to live together for the summer in the Jersey Shore became Hollywood stars really quick. The show’s popularity skyrocketed and in 2010 the cast was even named on Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People list and spawned three spinoffs in other countries. They tanned, they drank, they partied and they fought and millions watched it all, earning each and every cast member a rather large paycheck just for acting like fools for the summer. Since the show ended in 2012 and now has a reunion show, Jersey Shore: Family vacation, check out the list below to find out how much the stars of Jersey Shore are worth now.
9. Angelina Pivarnick
Estimated Net Worth: $2 Million. Angelina Pivarnick may not have been a part of the Jersey Shore cast, but she was on long enough to put quite a few bucks in her account. Pivarnick was not well liked in the house and had issues almost immediately. While she called herself the “Kim Kardashian of Staten Island,” her housemates took to calling her the “Staten Island Dump,” and after serious issues with Mike and Snooki, she left the house in Season 2. Regardless, she is still estimated to be worth between $1.5 million and $2 million. Aside from making $3000 per episode in Season 1 and $15,000 per episode in Season 2, she is also apparently a musician.
