Jersey Shore: Family Vacation premieres tonight, which means the best cast in OG reality television is back—with Sammi Giancola! Aww yeah. This is kind of the event of the summer.

It'll be nice to have the whole gang back together, but everyone knows that when Jersey Shore debuted on MTV way back in 2009, Nicole Polizzi, a.k.a. Snooki, was the breakout star. Snooki's love of pickles, partying, and poofs made her a fan fave instantly. Jersey Shore also made her a lot of cash.

Snooki and her cast mates had humble beginnings working at a T-shirt shop in Seaside Heights. But now, thanks to her reality TV stardom, Snooki is loaded. (Perhaps she's been stashing her cash in her signature poof all along...?) Snooki has branched out into acting, spinoff shows, and many other lucrative ventures to boost her bank account.

So, what exactly is Snooki's net worth these days? Here's everything you need to know:

Snooki cashed in on Jersey Shore.

When she first started on the reality series, Snooki, now 35, made around $2,200 each episode. However, carrying the show with her wild partying and hilarious one-liners got her some significant pay raises. In the second season, she was raking in $30,000 per episode. By the final season, Snooki's salary was up to $150,000 per episode, per Celebrity Net Worth.

She also earned a bonus at the beginning and end of the season, which adds up to a cool $2.55 million for the season. (BTW, her salary matched what Pauly D and The Situation earned).

Snooki has starred in a few spinoff series.

She and Jenni Farley, a.k.a. JWoww, teamed up for Snooki & JWoww, which aired between 2012 and 2015. Snooki also earned producing credits for the series, though her exact earnings weren't revealed. She also starred in Nicole & Jionni's Shore Flip with her husband, Jionni LaValle. The show ran for one season in 2016.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation premiered in 2018, and Snooki has been a recurring cast member in the show. She temporarily left the series in 2019 to focus on her family, but returned in 2021. It's unclear how much she's made from the Jersey Shore revival, but she must be making at least $150,000 per episode to match her initial salary.

She's invested in real estate.

She bought a $2.6 million home in Florham Park, New Jersey in January 2015, per NJ.com. The home has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and sprawls over 1.5 acres of land. She and Jionni also apparently bought a second home in Toms River for $850,000 in 2020, per Jersey Digs.

In 2015, Snooki also purchased another home for $370,000, and later sold it for $740,000 in 2021, per The New York Post. She documented the house flip on her show Nicole & Jionni's Shore Flip.

She runs her own shop.

Snooki clearly didn't work in that T-shirt shop for kicks! She took her entrepreneurial spirit a step further, and now runs her own line of boutiques called The Snooki Shop. It currently has three locations in Madison and Seaside Heights, New Jersey and Beacon, New York. The first location opened in 2018. It's unclear how much cash the Poughkeepsie Princess makes from this venture, but it's probably a significant amount.

Snooki's shop sells beauty products, clothing, and her branded Messy Mawma wines and Mawma strollers. There are Snookinis, sequin tops, dresses, graphic tees, and much more bolstering her bank account.

She has brand deals on brand deals.

Um, yeah. If you thought she stopped at strollers and wines, think again. Snooki has a pretty big Instagram following (like, 17 million followers big), so it's likely she makes a lot of money off of some of her posts.

The reality star has partnered with Cheez-Its and Hasbro.

Snooki is a New York Times best-selling author.

Her book, A Shore Thing, was published in January 2011, but debuted to lackluster sales numbers, according to Hollywood Reporter. It sold less than 9,000 copies in the first month. Sales picked up after that earning her a spot on the New York Times best-seller list.

THR estimates she earned around $100,000 for telling her tale. Snooki also penned Confessions of a Guidette in 2011, and released Baby Bumps, about her journey from party girl to motherhood, in 2015.

She's worth about $4 million.

If you do the math, Snooki's net worth adds up to a cool $4 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. She's come so far from the Jersey Shore.

Wait, what about the rest of the Jersey Shore cast?

Okay, okay. Snooki's net worth is pretty high—but you might want to compare it to her fellow cast members. Here's an estimate of all the former Shore Store employees, per Celebrity Net Worth.

• Paul Michael DelVecchio Jr. or "DJ Pauly D"—$20 million

• Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino—$300,000

• Jeni "JWoww" Farley—$4 million

• Angelina Pivarnick—$4 million

• Ronnie Ortiz—$3 million

• Vinny Guadagnino—$5 million

• Deena Nicole Cortese—$2 million

• Sammi Giancola—$4 million.

And there you have it, folks. You can catch up with the Jersey Shore gang tonight on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation at 8 p.m. ET.
