JUDGE JUDY (JUDY SHEINDLIN) – $9 MILLION
Judge Judy is an American arbitration reality court program chaired by Judy Sheindlin. In a virtual courtroom set, the show shows Sheindlin adjudicating real-life small-disputes. In both the family court and broadcast court, lawyer and judge Sheindlin had developed a reputation for her stern judicial style, often known for her no-nonsense fact-finding, restive temperament, and incisive impositions disregard attempts at dialogue.
Even the new generations know and love Judge Judy—no wonder she’s raking in money in the millions as she is one of the highest-paid stars on daytime television! With her popularity comes plenty of perks, including a $9-million Rhode Island mansion, which she bought back in 2018. Known as the Bird House Estate, it was formerly owned by Campbell’s heiress Dorrance Hill Hamilton. The 9,179-square-foot property comes with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms and is located on Newport’s highest point. This prime spot means it gets some of the best views that the island has to offer—certainly worth the hefty price tag.
