There is an old Hollywood saying that goes, “there’s no money in TV,” Judge Judy is proving that completely incorrect.
Forbes just released their list of highest paid TV hosts, and Judge Judith Sheinland tops the list this year for the first time ever!
The Top 5 are as follows:
1. Judge Judy Sheindlin, $147 million
2. Ellen DeGeneres, $87.5 million
3. Dr. Phil McGraw, $77.5 million
4. Ryan Seacrest, $74 million
5. Steve Harvey, $44 million
Forbes writes, “The sharp-talking daytime judge takes the top spot thanks to her even sharper deal-making skills: Last year she sold the rights to her Judge Judy’s 5,200-episode library, as well as future episodes of the show, to CBS for an estimated $100 million. Between that paycheck and the $47 million she gets for hosting Judge Judy and producing Hot Bench, Sheindlin took in triple her typical annual paycheck. With that added to her bank account, she also became 48th-richest self-made woman in America, with a net worth of $400 million.”
Good for her!
