MTV paid Situation $60,000 an episode for doing Season 2 of Jersey Shore, and between $15,000 and $50,000 per event for appearances. That's pretty well documented. All in all that comes out to about $5 million for the year.

Then, you add in endorsement deals which were obviouly part of his MTV package, and it comes to about $10 million per.

Getting endorsements are part of being in the entertainment industry, bud. The guy may have great abs but a business tycoon he ain't.
