The Hollywood Reporter notes that Judy is one of the highest-paid TV personalities in the world, with a salary of $47 million per year. It's one of the best-rated syndicated programs, ushering in close to 10 million viewers every single day. And unsurprisingly, it's one of TV's most popular court shows... because really, who doesn't love Judy's sassy remarks and cutting humor?

Judy started her current contract with CBS about five years ago, to work on three more seasons before the end of the year. This also entailed a production deal with Judy's production company called Queen Bee Productions. Then, in 2017, CBS acquired the entire Judge Judy library, which was worth about $100 million.

Until we know more about Judy Justice, we'll keep binging Judge Judy, watching our legislative kween do what she does best. Congrats on the new series — and for continuing to rake in the big bucks — Judy!
