Snooki paid $32K to speak at Rutgers University
April 2nd, 2011 - 5:16 pm ICT by ANINew York, April 2 (ANI): Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was paid 32,000 dollars to speak at Rutgers University about her fist-pumping, pouf-wearing, hard-partying lifestyle on the “Jersey Shore”.
That’s 2,000 dollars more than the school is paying Nobel-winning novelist Toni Morrison to deliver Rutgers’ commencement address in May, reports the New York Daily News.
The pint-sized reality star appeared at two sold out Q and A sessions, donning a gold-headband, leopard-print gloves and a signature low-cut dress
According to Rutgers’ Daily Targum, she chatted about a variety of subjects, including her trademark hair (”The pouf is its own living form”), if the drama on the show was real (”You can’t make this sh– up”) and her biggest inspiration (”being tan”).
Snooki’s speaking fee at Rutgers was approximately on par with what she makes per episode - reportedly 30,000 dollars - on “Jersey Shore.”
“Study hard, but party harder,” she told the crowd. (ANI)
