Top Ten Highest Paid Reality Stars

The Daily Beast has compiled a list of the reality stars who are estimated to bank the most cold, hard cash this year and it's a Kardashian-fest.  Kris Jenner must be kicking herself that she didn't have more kids!

The list is as follows:

Kim Kardashian - $6 Million
This krazy Kardashian has paved the way for a new brand of celebrity...pioneered by Paris but perfected by Kim K, this chick is a money-making machine!  By parlaying beauty, a somewhat famous last name, a big ass and a sex tape into an empire of fame-whoredom, it's Miss Kardashian's world and we all just live in it. 
Lauren Conrad - $5 Million
This Hills star made a name out of nothing and a career out of actually working.  Lauren is a talented style-maven who has carved out a lucrative fashion and publishing career for herself.  This chick has class, and she works it like no other young Hollywood reality star does.  Kudos for Lauren, go on girl! 
Bethenny Frankel - $4 Million
Most famous for being a Real Housewife of New York, I first saw Bethenny come in second on that shitty Martha Stewart Apprentice show.  She's since used her business savvy to eke out a high-profile presence in reality TV and personal branding.  Bravo loves this bitch, she'll be a mainstay on the network with her solo show for years to come.   
Audrina Patridge - $3.5 Million
Playing second fiddle to Lauren on the Hills, Audrina uses her perfect boobs to entrance men and make women feel inferior.  She has an upcoming solo show which I don't think will do too hot, but you never know.  The power of boobs is no joke!  
Kate Gosselin - $3.5 Million
Tied with Audrina, the octo-mom has used her no-holds-barred bitchiness to claw her way to the top of the heap of D-Listers on TLC.  While we watched her berate her useless husband and men in general, she soared in the ratings...now that the personal drama with Jon isn't on the show, ratings are falling faster than you can say child psychiatrist.  She still has a presence, but now it's in the form of being fodder for a scandal-ridden tabloid shitstorm.   
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino - $3 Million
We got a situation!  And it's that we pay this douchebag money to put out books and fitness videos based on the world according to Mike.  I'm a fan of the show and I've even been known to break out some Mike-isms like "grenade-free zone" and "T-shirt time" but I'm not about to go out and buy any of his crappy products!  That, for me, would be a major waste-of-my-money situation.  
Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian - $2.5 Million each
Completing the trifecta of the Kardashian machine, these two combine their powers with Kim to create the most famous sisters on the planet - Kardashius Prime!!!  They are a force to be reckoned with!  Books, shows, appearances...these chicks are like effing parsley, they're everywhere!
Kendra Wilkinson - $2 Million
Ugh - this one was a trip to me...famous for basically banging a rich, very influential old man, Kendra went from the projects to the penthouse.  She used her reality fame to bag herself a younger guy, though not as rich, marrying Hank Baskett (who does okay - he brought in about $1.5 in 2010) and popped out a kid with him.  She's an E Channel celeb so she takes a constant backseat to the precious Kardashian clan, but if they ever die, I could see her being the top bitch in the house of E. 
Pauly D - $2 Million
This DJ is another breakout from the train wreck show known as The Jersey Shore, possibly the most likable one on the cast - I'm betting on him for staying power.  That's right, when the Situation is a distant memory sustained only by TiVo and Snooki has died of alcohol poisoning - the last man standing is gonna be Pauly D.  You can quote me on that shit.
