Judge Judy’s Salary Has Been Revealed And It’s Astronomical

Lend us a tenner there, Judy

Judge Judy is perfect hangover television. To be honest, it’s perfect anytime television.

We love Judy’s sassy ways, and her absolute distaste for bullshit of any kind.

So how much is Justice Scheindlin taking home after dishing out some HARSH TRUTHS on her hit show?

Well, The Hollywood Reporter has the info. A lawsuit was recently filed against the network that create the show, CBS. Allegedly, the network had deducted Scheindlin’s salary from gross profits to dodge a fee.

Rebel Entertainment are suing and their lawyer said her salary was;”…far in excess of any person in non-scripted television, and then included that fee in the Show’s production expenses, thereby preventing Rebel from receiving any backend compensation.”

Now, the big reveal. She’s taking home a whopping $47 million per year. That’s over $900,000 per week. Imagine all the gavels you could buy with that.

She already has two yachts, called Her Honor, and Triumphant Lady, which is the most baller thing imaginable.

She’s one of the highest-paid celebrities in America.

Petition to rename her show Judge Jammy.
