RadarOnline has the scoop on the Jersey Shore stars salaries and you won't believe it.

Some of the cast earn almost $2 million a season!

Unbelievable, right?

For a little perspective, consider that they had to lobby for an extra $10,000 a season when the little show got its start.

Now, in season six, their financial worries are over, with Snooki, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Pauly D earning $150,000 PER episode. Run that through the old calculator and they're pulling in $1.8 million per season.

They also earn a $400,000 signing bonus at the start of each season, an extra $150,000 for reunion episodes, and a $200,000 bonus at season's end.

Cha-ching! That comes out to $2.55 million each season when all is said and done.

Plus, most of the Jersey Shore gang have other projects going on too -- endorsements, books, music, etc.

Jennie "JWoww" Farley earns $100,000 per episode and Vinny Guadagnino gets $90,000 an episode, with Ronnie and Sammi reportedly earning $80,000 an episode.

Not too shabby, for partying and hooking up on TV!
