check outside, pigs MUST be flying

The Situation Boasts a more lucrative year than top movie stars.  This is real.

This year, Jersey Shore's The Situation will make $5 million. He's pulling in $1 million in appearance fees, $60,000 an episode (after ratings-based bonuses), and getting paid for a workout video, book deal, and contracts with Reebok and Vitaminwater, just to name a few. The Hollywood Reporter points out that this means in 2010, The Situation made more than Don "$1 million" Cheadle, Scarlett "$250,000" Johansson, and Michael "$4 million" Cera, who all obviously need to up their catchphrase game immediately.
