Being a reality star can really pay off, said the New York Post. Cashing in on his newfound fame and abs, Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will clear nearly $5 million this year. Sources say Sorrentino, who makes $60,000 per episode of the popular show, will supplement his income this year with a six-figure book deal, $50,000 appearance fees, a workout DVD, and a line of “pre-workout tablets” sold at GNC stores.
