Judge Judy — $47 Million Per Year
Being in the Guinness World Book is no mean feat, and Judy Sheindlin holds the record for being the television judge with the longest career, hosting her namesake show, ‘Judge Judy.’ The popular virtual courtroom show brings in huge paychecks, and in 2018, she was the highest-paid TV host at the time.
As one of the self-made female investors, Judge Judy currently earns a whopping $47 million annually by hosting the legal series and producing a non-conventional court show ‘Hot Bench.’ To add to her wealth, Sheindlin sold her exclusive rights to the show’s library for a cool $100 million, and now she rides among the Hollywood greats.
