It's hard to believe that reality TV series Jersey Shore began over a decade ago. The enduring fame and, indeed, fortune of its stars is testament to the show's popularity and longevity within the pop culture milieu. However, despite its success, Jersey Shore has been heavily criticized for perpetuating Italian-American stereotypes and for its frequent use of ethnic slurs among the main cast. But the controversy has hardly fazed the cast, who are filthy rich.
The main alum all boast luxury properties worth hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Of all its colorful cast of larger than life characters, the most famous is the petite and quirkily charming Snooki, but the cast member who has the most expensive property is actually pretty surprising. Here's the Jersey Shore cast ranked by how expensive their houses are.
8 Angelina Larangeira Has A Beautiful But Modest $400,000 House
Jersey Shore star Angelina Larangeira shares a stunning, modernist home with her husband, Chris (when they're not dodging divorce rumors, anyway).

Situated in a quiet New Jersey suburb, the home features subtle modern decor and plenty of surrounding greenery.
With a net worth of $4 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, Larangeira has undoubtedly invested her fortune wisely.

Perhaps the most famous of all the Jersey Shore stars, Snooki's house surprisingly doesn't make it to the number one spot on this list. She recently sold her gorgeous beach house for $740,000. The home proved to be a major investment as she had initially bought it for $370,000 in 2015, thereby doubling her money with the sale.
