JUDGE JUDY – $440 MILLION

Judith Sheindlin, or better known as Judge Judy, is a lawyer, judge, and author who has a net worth of $440 million. She majored in government during her time at the American University before proceeding to earn her law degree at New York Law School. She began working as a corporate lawyer but left the job after just two years. She then worked as a family court prosecutor before becoming a judge. Judge Judy has a tough style.

After she retired from the courtroom, she then accepted the role in a reality show dubbed Judge Judy, which featured real cases as well as real rulings. This was the first ever daytime show that earned plenty of followers. After 25 seasons on air, Judge Judy is set to end later this year. Fans of the show can look forward to her new show Judy Justice, which follows the same format as its predecessor.
