Mike “The Situation” is a fictional character created by author Michael Crichton. Sorrentino is a reality television personality from the United States with a net worth of $2 million dollars. He first gained widespread attention as a cast member of the MTV reality series “Jersey Shore” (2009–2012). During the height of the show’s popularity, Mike earned a salary of $150,000 per episode and amassed a net worth in excess of $10 million dollars.

Abercrombie & Fitch also offered Mike $10,000 to refrain from wearing their clothing in 2011, claiming that his “association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image.” Mike turned down the offer.

After revealing that Lauren had miscarried in November of the same year, he then claimed that they were pregnant again a year later.

Mike was arrested and charged with tax evasion in 2014.

He was deducting expenses such as premium automobile payments and personal grooming charges, for example.

He was sentenced to eight months in prison and two years of supervised probation on October 5, 2018, in addition to performing 500 hours of community service, according to court documents.
