Television personality Mike Sorrentino is due to pay $2.3 million in taxes. According to legal documents, the Jersey Shore star did not pay back his debts to the IRS from 2010 to 2016.

Mike Sorrentino’s net worth explored
Also known as The Situation, he appeared in six seasons of the MTV reality show, Jersey Shore, from 2009 to 2012. He returned to the franchise in 2018 with Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
According to CelebrityNetWorth, the 39-year-old’s net worth is estimated to be around $300,000. Mike has accumulated a lot of wealth from his career in the entertainment industry.
Following the success of Jersey Shore, he was paid $150,000 for each episode and his net worth was said to be $10 million at the time. However, he invested in some wrong places and failed to pay taxes, which decreased his net worth to $300,000.
Mike and his wife Lauren Pesce purchased a 9,800 sq. ft. house in Holmdel, New Jersey for $1.8 million. The property has seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, an observation deck, a fireplace, a hot tub, and a courtyard.
Sorrentino was accused of tax fraud in September 2014 for not paying taxes worth $8.9 million. His attorney said that he and his brother Marc founded S Corporations, which failed to report income.
Several other charges were imposed against Sorrentino and his brother in April 2017. These included tax evasion and structuring bank deposits to avoid reporting thresholds.
Mike Sorrentino pleaded guilty to tax evasion in January 2018 and was sentenced to eight months in prison in October of the same year.
