I hate to admit this, but although I don't watch much TV, Jersey Shore is one of the shows on my must-see list every week, and this Jersey Shore Infographic only strengthens my love/hate relationship with the cast of the show.
The infographic takes fans through the earnings of each star before and after the show, including how much they make for endorsements and personal appearances. Some of the figures will surely blow your mind. For example, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino made about $35,000 a year before the show when he worked as the assistant manager of a gym. He now makes about $5 million a year due to things like his own jewelry line, clothing line and personal appearances. Mind-blowing, right?
The Jersey Shore Infographic demonstrates that no matter how much these reality TV stars get made fun of in the media, they will be fist-pumping all the way to the bank.
