The Situation Dancing With the Stars and Raking in the Dollars

(HMG) Jersey Shore’s The $ituation (dollar sign intended) is cashing in on his new found fame, and is not only projected to earn $5 million for just being his fist-pumping, GTL loving guido self, by the end of the year, but has bigger things set to happen!

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will bring in the $5 million, just from his show salary (a staggering $60,000 per episode), appearance fees and endorsement deals, but he also has a book, a clothing line, an excercise video and a rap single called The Situation, in the pipeline.  On top of that OK! Magazine claims Sorrentino has signed on to the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars, along with Audrina Patridge of The Hills, recording artist Brandy and NFL alum Kurt Warner

His manager Mike Petolino, tells Hollywood Reporter that Sorrentino has also been in talks to possibly appear in a feature film.

“We are really excited about all the opportunities coming Mike’s way. He has been able to secure many endorsement deals, business opportunities and additional television offers based on the success of the show,” he said.

“Our goal has always been to try to build a brand if the situation presented itself.”
