In the publication’s article that focuses on his rise from reality star to international touring DJ, Pauly says:
“Everybody was skeptical at first, because how everybody heard about me is probably from Jersey Shore,├óΓé¼┬¥ he says. ├óΓé¼┼ôBut now I├óΓé¼Γäóm six seasons deep in the show and I├óΓé¼Γäóve been touring all over the country, touring with major pop acts and stuff like that. That legitimizes everything, and they├óΓé¼Γäóre starting to say, ‘This kid isn├óΓé¼Γäót just a reality star, he├óΓé¼Γäós an actual DJ.'”
So what was the salary that put him on Forbes‘ first-ever top-earning DJs list?
$11 MILLION!!!
Damn! Sounds like somebody owes MTV a really long thank you letter. Ha!
Congrats, Pauly! We’re very proud of how far you’ve come in your career!
