After yesterday's interesting revelation, we started to wonder.

A lawsuit filed by International Creative Management against Pauly D revealed the Jersey Shore star's salary (and it was pretty shocking), so now we want to know if Snooki, The Situation and the rest of the gang also roll in "racks on racks on racks"?

Here's what we found out...

A source close to production of the MTV reality show tells E! News not all Jersey Shore members are paid equally.

"Pauly D, Snooki and The Situation make the most," the source says.  "It tiers down from that for the rest of the cast."

The source wouldn't confirm that the figures in ICM's lawsuit were 100 percent accurate, but added, "You have to imagine since they're in the suit, it's accurate."

But Pauly D's salary being made public brings a bargaining chip for the lesser paid cast members, "Now that they've seen Pauly D's figures, they are going to use that to their advantage in negotiations for next season."

So is The Pauly D Project star worried about his salary being out in the open?

According to our source, "Pauly D doesn't care—he makes the most."

Yeah, buddy!
