  • Judge Judy Selling Multi-Million Dollar Beachfront Penthouse in Naples, Florida

    Judge Judy, whose real name is Judith Sheindlin, is selling her multi-million dollar beachfront penthouse condominium in Naples, Florida for a mansion–lakefront–that reports say is “nearby.”

    The star of the TV show Judge Judy, Sheindlin and her husband have listed the condo at $11 million. It features 8,550 square feet of living space, including four bedrooms, six bathrooms, a sauna, and wraparound windows with dazzling views of Florida’s gulf coast. Two private elevators allow residents and their guests to ascend into the top-notch accommodations.

    Collier County, Florida property records state Judge Judy and her husband bought the condo in 2005, and paid $6.9 million for it. The records also show Judge Judy and hubby are now the proud owners of a new property roughly a mile away.

    It seems size does matter. Judge Judy’s new digs feature 10,000 square feet of living space with six bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. (Hopefully she has a really good cleaning person.) The new home looks over a manmade lake (very common in most of Florida). While the upgrade in size sounds amazing, not many people would want to give up a view of the Gulf Coast for a manmade lake.

    Alas Judge Judy is now 73, and might appreciate the convenience of living in a house instead of a condo. Even with those two elevators, someone has to lug groceries from the car to the kitchen, and that’s not always easy.

    In her role as Judge Judy, Judith Sheindlin has settled an unfathomable number of small-claims cases on TV for 20 years.

  • Judge Judy Sticking Around Until at Least the Year 2020, CBS Extends Contract

    Judge Judy and CBS came to an agreement regarding the popular judge’s contract. The Judge Judy Show will remain on CBS throughout the year 2020.

    Judge Judy Sheindlin had three seasons remaining under her existing contract with CBS, through which she raked in more than $47 million per year. She is no doubt making even more since signing on through 2020.

    “I’m thrilled to be working with my CBS family for five more years, and very excited about this new adventure in production,” Sheindlin said. “I loved the experience of creating and developing ‘Hot Bench’ and look forward to replicating its success with more new, compelling and smart TV.”

    Judge Judy is a ‘cash cow’ for CBS, so even with an increased salary, the network stands to make big bucks from the 72-year-old. It’s hard to believe Judge Judy will be nearly 80 at the end of this contract.

    “We could not be more excited to continue our longtime relationship with Judy,” CBS Global Distribution Group president Armando Nunez said. “She is a true television icon, who entertains and inspires millions of fans each day. We look forward to continuing to provide our station partners with her highly successful show and to working with her to create the next generation of hits.”

    Under this new contract, Judith Sheindlin, who serves as producer for a new ‘judge’ show called Hot Bench, has agreed to give CBS a first look at anything she produces.

    Judge Judy is presently in its 19th season on the air, and has been the top daytime TV show for the past five years. During the week ending February 15th, for example, The Judge Judy Show was seen by an average of 10.1 million viewers during each episode.

    Are you surprised to learn that Judge Judy Sheindlin is sticking around on CBS until the year 2020? Do you think her popularity will hold out as long as her contract?
