DJ Pauly D Net Worth $15 Million
Pauly D studied at Johnston High School in Rhode Island; his passion for music heavily influenced his career path, and inspired by Adam Michael Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, Pauly D began working as a local DJ. Around the same time, he auditioned for and was then cast in the TV reality series “Jersey Shore”, in which his housemates were Snooki, Michael Sorrentino, Jennifer Farley – better known as JWoww – and others. The show revolved around their lives in Jersey Shore, and even though it initially caused much controversy and criticism, the show continued to attract a large viewership, and became one of the highest rated series on MTV. The popularity of the show spawned many spin-off series in a variety of countries worldwide. It was also the cause of the beginning of “The Pauly D Project”, a reality television series with a focus on Pauly D and his rise to stardom as a DJ. With the launch of the spin-off series in 2012, Pauly D became the first member of “Jersey Shore” to have his own show. Pauly’s net worth benefited considerably.
Pauly D’s project inspired a second spin-off of “Jersey Shore” called “Snooki & JWoww”, that features two of his former housemates. So far “The Pauly D Project” has aired one season only and has a total of 12 episodes.
In addition to working on his own series, Pauly D has been present in many projects as a DJ. In 2011, Pauly D announced that he had signed a record deal with “G-Unit Records” founded by 50 Cent, which will eventually result in the release of three albums, as well as a brand new set of headphones. That same year, Pauly D made another announcement, revealing that he would perform as an opening act for Britney Spears’ “Femme Fatale Tour”.
To date, Pauly’s contributions to the entertainment industry have been rewarded with a nomination for Teen Choice Awards, as well as two wins for Teen Choice Awards for Male Reality Star.
In his personal life, DJ Pauly J has a daughter, but problems with the girl’s mother apparently persist. He is apparently been dating singer Aubrey O’Day since early 2016.
