Shawn Johnson -- I'm Rich, Beyotch!

Shawn Johnson won "Dancing with the Stars" last night -- but in more important news, she just banked $365,000 doing it. Repeat: THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

We got a hold of Shawn's "Dancing" contract a while back, which stated she would bank $125,000 up front, then incremental paychecks that topped off at $50k a week for the last 2 episodes.

That's a lotta cheese...

31. I thought whoever wins donate the money to the charity of their choice.

32. I'm afraid that Gilles lost because he was French. The right-wing wack jobs in this country have stigmatized Americans to hate anything French. I hope we can get over this childishness.

37. She deserves every penny........Although I think Gille was the best dancer, all three were terrific. I think Shawn just had the biggest fan base and that fan base-- many of whom are young people--are more likely to vote especially via text.

38. You are full of crap. Shawn is in fantastic physical shape, athletic shape. Of course her legs are bigger than the others she is a freaking olympic gymnast, dumb asses. So she's not hot big freaking deal, HOT is not necessarily suppose to win the prize.
And fat, wtf??????????? She is short and obviously none of you idiots saw her in her free style performance, she looked great in the black pants and green bikini top. Anyway she was to most consistent, Gilles and Cheryl were just HOT thats not the only reason to win.

39. I wonder how much Usain Bolt would make if went on DWTS next season and Shawn Johnson should ask him.

40. It's a lot of money for a short period of time but Shawn worked her behind off for that money. I hope that she uses the money wisely and that she gets to enjoy her hard earned reward..

41. She looks like a female wrestler - maybe she'll be on the WWE next!!

42. Why are people being so nasty? It was a dance contest. I don't think that Gilles, who has a daughter himself, would approve of his supporters calling a very young female athlete a "dyke" because of her muscular body that's a direct result of her sport. It's shameful.

43. While Shawn is a great athelete and a excellent role model, her dancing skills where average. She did improve each week and held her own, but by far Gilles should have won the contest.

44. It cracks me up how insanely crazy you people are at TMZ for hating a chick that's barely 18 years old. What is it about her that you can't stand? Her beauty? Her patriotism? Her class? For some reason I get the feeling if she was an anti-American, slutty skank you'd be applauding her on here on a daily basis. You people are weird, but glad to see Shawn getting the last laugh and under your skin, yet again :)

45. Good for her. I hope she saves her money and goes to college. Be smart about your future Shawn!
