Judge Judy's Yacht Name Is "Triumphant Lady" and It's Pretty Darn Appropriate

Daytime TV is a curious beast, mostly because it hardly gets as much love and media coverage as other, prime time programming that comes on our tubes after the traditional work day is done. But on the off chance we're sick or have a day off or are just chilling at home during the week, you're going to catch a wonderful episode of The Price Is Right or maybe even some real-life courtroom drama like Judge Judy . And the thing is, daytime TV earns a lot of money — just ask Judy's yacht.

Yes, Judge Judy has a yacht with an awesome name.

While it may feel like Judy Sheindlin (born Judith Susan Blum) has been on TV since forever, she was actually only on air since 1996, aka the same year that the network television premiere of Demolition Man came on. Since her show first aired, it's been a staple of daytime courtroom television and is pretty much the first program anyone ever thinks of when it comes to daytime court TV.

And over the years, the Brooklyn-born actual judge has done pretty well for herself. And by "pretty" I mean, very, very well for herself. Judge Judy continually brought in stellar ratings and the show, with its relatively low production cost for the types of ratings it was garnering on a daily basis, meant boku bucks for its star.

Judy Sheindlin managed to score herself a pretty penny over the years, securing a reported $440 million net worth. Close to half a billion dollars obviously affords the TV personality and judge some plush accommodations, like a yacht she's appropriately named the "Triumphant Lady."

When she isn't filming and laying down the law, Judge Judy can be seen chilling on her yacht in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The massive vessel was purchased for $16 million, has a glass-bottom spa pool, a gym, and even lodging for up to ten guests if she wanted to throw a party and everyone got a bit tipsy.

A few years back she was seen swimming with pigs in the water and generally having a great time.

@BeautyBind #caution nothing good comes from judge Judy..Except her old yacht. https://t.co/stnbKPDibH pic.twitter.com/jd14YVw9TB — SteveCwk (@SteveCwk) September 3, 2016

She's owned some swanky properties before too, like a $10.7 million Beverly Hills condo, but that'll happen when you earn a whipping $47 million a year, as surprising as that may be to some folks.

I had no idea Judge Judy was killing it at this level. https://t.co/zT4HumTvJI pic.twitter.com/pot2mNl8sr — southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) December 18, 2017
I think Barbara Walters starts an anecdote in her bio with how she was hanging out on Judge Judy's yacht — Slanket Goals (@slanketgoals) December 18, 2017

With $47 million a year coming in, one would think it would be hard to say goodbye to that cash cow — but it looks like Judy did it anyway. With Judge Judy coming to an end in 2021, though, Judy says she's still not ready to retire to her massive yacht just yet. Rumor has it, the 78-year-old is planning to release her new show, Judy Justice , a year after her hit show comes to an end. Where and when to watch Judy Justice has not yet been announced, although reportedly she may be heading to a streaming service.

Digging into the Secret’s of Judy Judge’s Luxury Yacht

Ian Fortey

Judge Judy’s yacht was built by Sterling Yachts back in 1985 making it one of the older luxury yachts out there owned by a celebrity. The exterior design was handled by Bannenberg & Rowell. Both the hull and superstructure are GRP or glass-reinforced plastic, which is also something you’ll rarely find in newer superyachts which usually go for steel, aluminum and in some cases composite superstructures. That said, some sources claim the superstructure is, in fact, aluminum.

The yacht underwent a refit in 2009 to upgrade much of the interior and technology on board and make it more modern overall. 

There are some rumors that Judge Judy also sold this yacht and no longer owns it but it’s hard to confirm or deny that at this point because so many of the details surrounding yacht ownership are often kept secret and the subject to guessing and conjecture.

What’s the Name of Judge Judy’s Yacht?

judith sheindlin yacht

Judge Judy is known for being a forceful and opinionated woman both on her syndicated TV show and in real life, so it’s not surprising she gave her yacht a powerful name as well. It’s known as the Triumphant Lady. 

How Big is Judge Judy’s Yacht?

judith sheindlin yacht

The Triumphant Lady is a good sized yacht coming in at 155′1″. Obviously that’s not the l argest yacht on the seas but it’s still large enough that most would consider it a superyacht. The vessel also has a 26.5 foot beam and a 7.5 foot draft. The gross tonnage comes in at 532 GT.

How Much Did Judge Judy’s Yacht Cost?

judith sheindlin yacht

Word is that Judy Judy paid $16 million for her yacht. That’s definitely pricey but nowhere near the most expensive yachts in the world. That said, Judge Judy is estimated to have a net worth in the neighborhood of $440 million, so she can certainly afford a yacht of this caliber. 

How Does a New York Family Court Judge Afford a Yacht?

judith sheindlin yacht

Judge Judy, born Judith Susan Blum, became a lawyer back in 1965. By 1972 she was working as a prosecutor in the New York family court system until then mayor Ed Koch appointed her to the criminal court in 1982. In just four more years she was promoted again to become a supervising judge in the family court system in Manhattan. This is where she started to come to prominence as a judge most people found to be a tough, no-nonsense sort of person. 

Fast forward to the early 90s and her reputation had spread well beyond New York. A writer for the Los Angeles Times profiled her from the angle of her being tough but fair and trying to fix the court system for the good of everyday people. It struck a chord with readers and 60 Minutes went on to do a feature on her, bringing her in front of television audiences for the first time. 

Within a year of her appearance on 60 Minutes she was approached about heading her own reality court TV show which she accepted. The Judge Judy series went on to become one of the most popular shows ever with Americans watching daytime TV across 25 seasons. In the early 2000s she was making $25 million per season. By 2005 that had increased to $45 million. Given that she only worked 52 days a year, she was making $900,000 every day she went to work. And that means she was more than able to afford a yacht, a private jet, and multiple homes in places like Newport, Rhode Island, Fort Lauderdale, New York and Los Angeles,

Can you Charter Judge Judy’s Yacht?

judith sheindlin yacht

Believe it or not you can, in fact, charter Judge Judy’s yacht for use. This is not entirely uncommon since a large luxury yacht can have annual running costs that get up to $2 million to $4 million or even more. To help offset those costs owners will often make a yacht available for charter. Thus gives both tax breaks and allows the charter fees to go towards the year’s running costs. 

Judge Judy’s Triumphant Lady can be chartered for $150,000 per week plus expenses. The cost doesn’t necessarily  change based on the season like it would for many yachts but it might based on demand.

If the rumors that Judge Judy sold her yacht are true, then it was a charter firm that picked it up and now charters it under the same name. It was reported that she may have sold it for about $7 million, which is a considerable loss compared to the initial price she seems to have paid. 

How Fast is The Triumphant Lady and What Engines Does it Have?

Judge Judy’s yacht is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3512TA diesel engines that produce 1300 hp each giving her a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots. The vessel has a range of 4,000  nautical miles thanks to the 51,885 liter fuel tanks.

What’s the Interior of Judge Judy’s Yacht Like?

judith sheindlin yacht

The interior design work on the yacht was handled by Cindy Mason and Jon Bannenberg. There is room on Judge Judy’s yacht for 10 guests to stay in 5 cabins. A total of 9 crew can also be accommodated. The guest cabins consist of one master suite along with four double cabins.

The interior features soft and welcoming colors with many rooms decked out in natural wood tones, cream, gray and gold accents. There are multiple dining and lounging spaces as well as plenty of room on deck for lounging and hanging out as well.

In what qualifies as an oddly funny or maybe even ironic fact about the yacht, there is extremely limited information about any kind of standout amenities or luxury features. Given Judge Judy’s reputation for being overly harsh and serious, it’s funny to see that even her yacht seems to be overly serious. As an example, if you head to one of the website’s where you can book it for a charter the only thing listed as an amenity is air conditioning. This would normally be where things like a deck Jacuzzi, a pool, access to jet skis and so on would be listed. 

Don’t be fooled, however. A little digging and you can discover that Judge Judy does, in fact, have some luxury features on board that she and guests can enjoy.

Features and Amenities on the Judge Judy Yacht

judith sheindlin yacht

As we said, details can be scant on what’s on board the vessel but they’re not entirely hidden. Though Judge Judy herself tends to be fairly private, the yacht is a charter so they do have to share some reasons why people might actually want to spend money renting the vessel. To that end, here are some of the features you can find on board. 

  • One of the most notable features available is a glass-bottom spa pool
  • To the forward part of the vessel there is a sun deck with gym access. The gym deck can be accessed via an elevator. The gym features a resistance training machine, cardio machine, free weights, exercise balls, bands and more.
  • A unique design aspect not likely to be found on other yachts is the 3 story atrium with spiral staircase topped by etched glass.
  • Built-in sun pads to port and starboard of the bridge
  • The main salon features a lounge area for guests, a bar, and a karaoke machine.
  • Towards the main aft deck you’ll find yacht tender and waverunner storage. This is where you’ll also find something of a beach club with access to a swim platform. It’s also fitted with hydraulic passerelle and barbecue

No word on how often Judy herself likes to get out on the water and play with the water toys but the yacht does have a tender garage with some items for those charter guests who like to have fun. Some of the toys available include:

  • A 6.4 m (21´) Nautica tender fitted with 225 hp engines
  • A 9.75 m (32´) Century FIN cabin with twin 250 hp engines outfitted for fishing/diving and more swift adventures on the water
  • A pair of 2-person waverunners
  • A pair of 2-person kayaks
  • A large variety of towable toys that includes boards, water skis,tubes and so on.
  • Full snorkel gear
  • A large selection of fishing gear

The Bottom Line

The Judge Judy yacht is known as the Triumphant Lady. It was built back in 1985 but had a refit in 2009 to give it an update. The yacht is believed to have cost around $16 million. It can be chartered for the week for a cost of about $150,000 plus expenses. 

The yacht is just over 155 feet in length and it can reach a top speed of 15 knots though it cruises at around 13 knots. There is room on board to accommodate 10 guests at a time across 5 cabins, and 9 crew members at the same time.

The yacht features a variety of features and toys to help guests relax and have fun including a glass bottom pool, a variety of water toys like waverunners and water skis, and a number of sun pads and other relaxing areas to lay out on deck.

Here's How Judge Judy Sheindlin Spends Her $440 Million Net Worth

Judge Judy's $440 million net worth is more enough to keep her sitting pretty for the rest of her life, but she's still hard at work.

Judge Judy made a name for herself as a television personality on her court show Judge Judy . With a sharp tongue and a keen radar for lying, she presided over the court on her show from 1996 to 2021. She has won three Daytime Emmy Awards as well as a Lifetime Achievement Emmy, and she has amassed a net worth of about $440 million , thanks in large part to the seemingly endless loop of her episodes in syndication. A staple of hotel room television and waiting room television, Judge Judy often fades into the background of our lives; it just seems to always be on.

Well, as of 2021, fans got to see a whole lot more Judy Sheindlin, and this time it is in a fresh new outfit. Her newest courtroom show, Judy Justice, did away with some of the more antiquated courtroom traditions (like the stuffy black judicial robe; Judy can now be spotted sporting a new one colored in splashy burgundy) and features longer cases, made possible by the streaming format and not having to fit the program into half an hour segments.

Not that Judy needs the money. That $440 million net worth is enough to keep her sitting pretty for the rest of her life, as well as her five children's and their families'. So where does that money go? We decided to do some investigating. Here is how Judge Judy Sheindlin spends her $440 million net worth.

Updated on March 21, 2023: Judge Judy Sheindlin has been keeping busy with her work on television. Season two of her spinoff show, Judy Justice , just wrapped its second season on March 10, closing out the season with 70 episodes.

It appears as though this award-winning series will be coming back for a third season by the end of the year, giving fans more of what they want while also allowing Sheindlin a few months reprieve to travel and enjoy quality time with her family.

8 Judy Sheindlin Owns Mansions On Mansions

Judy Sheindlin has a $50 million real estate portfolio , including at least six luxury homes across the United States: one in Naples, Florida, one in Greenwich, Connecticut, another in Newport, Rhode Island, one in Manhattan, New York and the last in Los Angeles, California.

Her $13.2 million Greenwich mansion serves as her primary residence, but she can live it up in style at one of her other homes any time she's in the mood for a change of scenery.

7 Judy Sheindlin Is A Believer In Philanthropic Work

Judy Sheindlin has an alliance called the Her Honor Mentoring Program, in which she educates and equips young women to explore career options, discover passions and goals, and ultimately reach their full potential. She wears many hats in the organization, serving as the creator, director, and spokesperson.

The program was founded in 2006 by Nicole Sheindlin , one of Judy's children. The judge loved her daughter's idea and offered to back the organization, helping it to establish a firm foundation and grow over the years.

6 Judy Sheindlin Prefers To Travel By Private Jet

Needless to say, Judge Judy is not taking Southwest flights every time she needs to travel between her homes. She is living the good life in her private jet . Once or twice a month, Sheindlin flies from Greenwich to Los Angeles to film for about three days, after which she returns to the East Coast.

Between her many properties, her five kids, and her several grandchildren, the judge travels quite frequently between the East and West Coasts.

In the summer of 2020, she was busy suing the talent agency Rebel Entertainment for $22 million in fees that they had taken from her, alleging that they were erroneous and should not have been collected from her. Of course, Judge Judy uses only the best lawyers around, and all those attorney fees rack up quite a bill.

4 Judge Judy Spoils Her Children And Grandchildren

Judy Sheindlin is the mother to two grown children from her first marriage and stepmother to three grown children from her husband Jerry Sheindlin's previous marriage. Between the five kids, she has got 13 grandchildren, whom she reportedly spoils rotten. " I spoil them ," she admitted.

"I’m trying to think of how we don’t, but the answer is we do. We don’t even think we’re doing it, but their parents are very smart. They try to put the skids on it." Now her granddaughter Sara Rose is part of Judy Justice , offering a young person's perspective on the courtroom proceedings. Judy adores her granddaughter, which makes it fun for fans to watch how their relationship continues to grow on the show.

3 Judy Sheindlin Used To Have A Gorgeous Yacht

Though Judy Sheindlin does not own it anymore, she was once the proud owner of a 152-ft yacht named Triumphant Lady, a clever nod to its mega successful owner. She sold the yacht for $6.9 million , but it is likely a comforting thought to know that she could afford to buy another one any time the whim strikes her.

According to the Providence Journal, Judge Judy dropped $9 million on the Bird House: a 9,700-square-foot, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom property on 3.67 acres in Newport, Rhode Island, that once belonged to the heir to the Campbell Soup fortune. The mansion, which was built in 2012, features geothermal heating and cooling, radiant heated floors, a three-floor elevator and more luxury amenities.

Judge Judith Sheindlin — who lives primarily on the East Coast — reportedly owns a Cessna 750 Citation X private jet worth $24M. It's an essential part of the equation considering Judge Judy works primarily in the Los Angeles area.

According to Dirt, Judge Judith Sheindlin dropped $13.2M on a 12.54-acre property in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 2007. Judge Judy reportedly demolished the existing 11,623-square-foot, nine-bedroom mansion and built a 20,000-square-foot home in its place.

In early 2021, Judge Judith Sheindlin dropped a $22M lawsuit against her former talent agent — the man who negotiated her initial deal with CBS for "Judge Judy" — when she realized the lawsuit would negatively affect CBS. "I have been in business with CBS for 20 years. I'm not suing them when they are not the wrongdoer," she told Deadline of her costly decision. (She accused the former agent of unjust enrichment and of employing unlawful and unfair business practices.)

In 2015, Judge Judith Sheindlin listed her four-bedroom penthouse apartment in Naples, Florida, for $11M. (According to Dirt, Judge Judy purchased the 8,550-square-foot condo for $6.9M in 2005.) The property features four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, two high-speed private elevators and ocean views. The unit comes with parking for three cars in an air-conditioned garage, plus a private cabana/studio near the complex's resort-style swimming pool. She had a good reason for unloading the luxury property…

In 2015, Judge Judith Sheindlin dropped $8.6M on a nearly 11,000-square-foot lakefront mansion in a gated community in Naples, Florida. According to Dirt, Judge Judy's six-bedroom property features nine full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, two air-conditioned three-car garages, an outdoor kitchen and a lagoon-style swimming pool with three waterfalls and a spa.

In early 2022, Judge Judith Sheindlin donated $5M to Her Honor Mentoring to fund a scholarship program that will provide full tuition for 10 women at her alma mater, New York Law School. Judge Judy co-founded Her Honor Mentoring with her daughter, Nicole Sheindlin, in 2006.

In 2013, Judge Judith Sheindlin sold her two-bedroom condo on the 11th floor of the Sherry Netherland building on New York City's Fifth Avenue for $8.5M. According to Dirt, the unit featured two and a half bathrooms. Around the same time, Judge Judy snapped up another NYC pad…

In 2013, Judge Judith Sheindlin dropped $8.5M on a four-bedroom duplex in New York City's Sutton Place neighborhood. According to Dirt, Judge Judy's NYC pad features four and a half bathrooms and a wrap-around terrace.

Judge Judith Sheindlin once owned a yacht named the Triumphant Lady that she reportedly sold for nearly $7M at some point. Judge Judy's 152-foot, five-cabin vessel featured a glass-bottom spa pool and a gym.

In 2013, Judge Judith Sheindlin reportedly dropped $10.7M on a five-bedroom condo at the Montage Beverly Hills hotel and condo complex in the heart of Beverly Hills. The 4,680-square-foot unit features three and a half bathrooms, a walk-in wine cellar and seven balconies. Judge Judy's Beverly Hills base also comes with four dedicated parking spots in an underground garage, plus all the amenities offered by a five-star hotel — from room service to laundry and housekeeping services.

In 2020, TheRichest reported that Judge Judith Sheindlin owns "a whole fleet" of Bentleys including a 2007 Bentley Azure, a 2006 Bentley Arnage R and a 2016 Bentley Mulsanne. Judge Judy dropped more than half a million dollars on those three cars alone!

In 2020, TheRichest reported that Judge Judith Sheindlin's signature diamond stud earrings — which were practically a supporting character on "Judge Judy" — are worth an estimated $120K.

In 2018, Judge Judith Sheindlin reportedly dropped $40K on a three-wheel Harley-Davidson motorcycle for her husband's 85th birthday. (Judge Judy married fellow judge Jerry Sheindlin in 1977 and again in 1991 after a brief split.)

Judge Judith Sheindlin once forked over more than $50K to "Judge Judy" executive producer Randy Douthit for some Christofle Mary Bone China and cutlery. The transaction came to light in early 2013 when Randy's estranged wife, Patrice Jones, sued the TV judge for more than $500K, claiming that the posh tableware was community property and that Randy had no right to sell it to Judy without her consent. (Judy ultimately returned the items to Patrice, who alleged that Judy conspired with Randy to make the deal as Patrice and Randy geared up to divide their assets as part of their divorce.)

In early 2014, Judge Judith Sheindlin filed a $75K lawsuit against a personal injury attorney who used her image in advertising without her consent. The duo settled out of court in Judge Judy's favor. Per the terms of their settlement, the lawyer made a charitable donation to Judy's mentoring program, Her Honor Mentoring.

In early 2018, two former "Judge Judy" producers sued Judge Judith Sheindlin and CBS for $4.75M for allegedly cutting them out of profits for the show they helped create back in 1995 after they essentially discovered the TV judge. Ultimately, the court sided with Judy and CBS in early 2022.

Judge Judy is best known as a no-nonsense courtroom presence on the long-running television show 'Judge Judy.'

Judge Judy

Who Is Judge Judy?

Judge Judy was the only woman in a class of 126 students at American University's Washington College of Law, before finishing her law degree at New York Law School. New York City Mayor Ed Koch appointed her a judge in 1982, and she was profiled for her hard-hitting courtroom tactics on 60 Minutes in 1993. Her popular, long-running daytime show, Judge Judy , first appeared nationally in 1996.

Early Career

Judge Judy was born Judith Susan Blum on October 21, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York. She attended American University in Washington D.C., graduating in 1963. She continued her education at American University's Washington College of Law, where she was the only woman in a class of 126 students. Judy finished her law degree at New York Law School in New York City, where she moved with her first husband in 1964.

In 1965, Judy obtained her law degree, passed the New York bar exam and took a job as a corporate lawyer for a cosmetics firm. Dissatisfied with the role of a corporate lawyer, she left within two years to raise two children, Jamie and Adam.

In 1972, a friend from law school told her of a job opening in the New York courts. She took the job and found herself in the role of prosecutor for the family court system. Judy prosecuted juvenile crime, domestic violence and child abuse cases. She was quickly recognized as a sharp, no-nonsense attorney.

Judy's professional success, though, was being achieved at a high private price. In 1976, she left her first husband after 12 years of marriage. She struggled to be present for her children, even while handling her heavy workload of emotionally draining cases in the family courts.

Three months after her divorce, Judy met attorney Jerry Sheindlin. They married in 1978.

Appointment as Judge

By 1982, Judith Sheindlin's growing reputation for assertiveness inspired Mayor Ed Koch to appoint her to a seat as a judge in family court. As a judge, she continued to blend sympathy for the underdog with withering contempt for the arrogant or devious. Four years later, she was promoted to the position of supervising judge in the Manhattan division of the family court.

In 1990, Judy's father, Murray Blum, died at age 70; his death took a remarkable toll on her marriage to Jerry. They divorced, but a year later, feeling the tug of family ties—aside from her two children and his three, they now had two grandchildren—along with pangs of loneliness, Judy and Jerry remarried. Afterward, she settled firmly into a renewed mission to dispense justice firmly and fairly.

Media Attention

In February 1993, Sheindlin was profiled in the Los Angeles Times as a kind of hard-hitting legal super-heroine, determined to make the courts work for the common good. The Times piece was quickly followed by a profile on the CBS news program 60 Minutes . After her appearance on 60 Minutes , an agent for Judy approached Larry Lyttle, the president of Big Ticket Television, with the idea of doing a courtroom television program. Lyttle agreed and a pilot for the show was shot.

After 25 years of practicing in family court and hearing more than 20,000 cases, Sheindlin retired in 1996. But with her fame spreading through newspapers and TV, a whole new incarnation of the straight-talking judge was about to appear.

'Judge Judy'

The success of Judge Judy spawned the creation of numerous other daytime court shows, including Judge Joe Brown , Judge Hatchett and Judge Mathis . Judge Judy has been one of the most successful shows in daytime television, reaching more than 10 million viewers daily.

In a March 2020 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , Sheindlin indicated that Judge Judy would cease taping new episodes after its 25th season, and that a new show was in the works.

Sheindlin wrote the straight-talking Don't Pee On My Leg, and Tell Me It's Raining in 1996. She has since published several more books, including the New York Times best-seller Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever (1999), Win or Lose by How You Choose (2000) and What Would Judy Say? Be the Hero of Your Own Story (2014).

Judith sheindlin.

In a world obsessed with youth and feelings, Judge Judith Sheindlin may be the biggest enigma in contemporary culture. A longtime civil servant who became a celebrated TV star, the sharp-tongued jurist has riveted daytime viewers, racked up awards, and sold numerous books to people hungry for tough love. Judge Judy is more than a TV show; it is a battle hymn for common sense. Sheindlin has infiltrated popular culture as the unabashedly stern Jewish mother of a nation of misguided people who desperately need her. Sheindlin stands barely more than five feet tall, but her authoritative and assured presence commands respect from any room she enters. She also knows many Yiddish words, and she is not afraid to use them on TV.

A civil servant who worked as a prosecutor and judge in the New York family courts for more than 30 years before becoming a TV star with one of the most successful, long-running shows in history, Judge Judith Sheindlin is a force of nature in a robe and doily. Since 1996, when Judge Judy premiered, her no-nonsense style and tart tongue have kept the ratings of her nationally syndicated program sky high. Sheindlin has infiltrated popular culture as the unabashedly strong Jewish mother to a nation of misguided people who desperately need her. She stands barely more than five feet tall, but her authoritative and assured presence towers over her TV set courtroom and the real family court where she spent so many years adjudicating cases. She also knows a lot of Yiddish words, and she is not afraid to use them.

Yiddish Courtroom Theater

The influence of Judge Sheindlin’s Jewish upbringing is evident on her wildly popular television program. In fact, long before Judge Judy premiered, cultural references found their way into her Honor’s Manhattan courtroom. The Los Angeles Times profile described her yelling at one attorney who appeared before her, “Yutznik! I’m not stupid, and your questioning is foolish! We’re not poring over the Talmud here” (Getlin, 1993).

Sheindlin often infuses Yiddish words and expressions in her program. On multiple occasions she has said nudnik (irritating person), kvetch (complain), and schmutz (dirt), to name a few. Judge Sheindlin said that her favorite Yiddish word is schmuck . Formally, this word translates as a part of the male anatomy, but it is used more informally to denote a fool. “It describes so many people who ruin their own lives and those around them by acting selfishly and without responsibility,” she explained (Email interview, 2020).

During one episode, she told a plaintiff seeking to have his whole gravel driveway replaced, “You’re making what we call a geshikhte [long story] out of nothing” (Email interview, 2020). She has said geshikhte on multiple occasions. Her patience frequently runs thin when participants launch into over-bloated geshikhtes .

Although Judge Judy is taped in Los Angeles, Sheindlin spends most of the year at her home in Florida, which she has said, both on her program and to The New York Times , was the “migratory path for Jews” (Hughes, 2019).

In October 2020, the Hollywood Reporter announced that after “Judge Judy” finishes its run in 2021, Sheindlin will star in an untitled new court show for IMDb TV,  which is part of Amazon's free, ad-supported streaming platform.  Clearly, America’s strict Jewish mother still has more wisdom to dispense.

Judge Judy: Her Show — and the Amazing Story Behind Her $480 Million Fortune

Judy Sheindlin, star of Freevee's Judy Justice , recalls struggling to make ends meet before she made it big on court TV

Judge Judy Sheindlin is currently worth an estimated $480 million, according to Forbes , but before the popular daytime decision-maker made it big on court TV, Sheindlin struggled to make ends meet.

"The majority of my life, I spent buying on the sale rack," she told PEOPLE in a November 2021 cover story. "I didn't bother going into [Neiman Marcus], [Bergdorf Goodman] and Saks [Fifth Avenue] because I couldn't afford it."

Sheindlin's days of worrying about money are long over. After 25 years on the air, her hit series Judge Judy came to an end in May 2021. That November, she launched a new show , Judy Justice , on Freevee (then called IMDb TV), Amazon's free premium streaming service, with new episodes airing every weekday.

For more on PEOPLE's top stories, listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day .

Not long after Judy Justice premiered, Sheindlin dipped into her fortune and donated $5 million in full scholarships to 10 women attending the judge's alma mater, New York Law School. The scholarship fund covers all tuition and book expenses, and the 10 women will be offered summer fellowships once they've completed their first year of law school.

In May 2023, Judy Justice received a season 2 renewal and was Freevee's top original program based on hours watched, according to Deadline . The first season also won the 2022 Daytime Emmy for outstanding legal/courtroom program.

Additionally, Sheindlin created two more series for Freevee — Tribunal Justice and Justice on Trial — which she also executive produces. Tribunal Justice premiered on June 9, 2023, and features a panel of three judges collectively adjudicating real cases. The docudrama Justice on Trial will explore the American criminal justice system and notable cases through re-enactments based on actual court transcripts. The shows are helping to expand Sheindlin's successful run in the court TV realm after moving to the streamer.

"We left on top, which is perfect," Sheindlin said about the end of Judge Judy . "Amazon had the confidence in me to say, 'Let's do it in streaming. Let's let you do your thing in a fresh version with new people.' And I'm excited!"

Pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE on newsstands, or subscribe here .

When she got her start as a lawyer back in 1972, the Brooklyn native prosecuted child abuse, domestic violence and juvenile crime cases in New York's family court. She later became a judge in 1982 and a supervising judge in 1986.

Her tough reputation earned her media buzz, first in a 1993 Los Angeles Times profile and later that year in a 60 Minutes segment that caught the attention of a CBS production company.

Judge Judy premiered on Sept. 16, 1996. "I was hoping we would have a three- or four-year run and that my husband and I would be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment one block off the beach in Florida as a retirement place," she recalled. "We were civil servants. We had five kids that were all educated, most went to graduate school. We tried to see to it they weren't burdened with a lot of debt."

Judge Judy Facebook

In early seasons, Sheindlin engaged in serious salary negotiations, but as the show's ratings skyrocketed, she demanded paydays to match .

"We should be partners," she said she told CBS executives after a decade on-air. "I can do this program without you. Good luck, you can't do it without me."

In subsequent negotiations, Sheindlin would slip her bosses dollar figures in sealed envelopes across the table. Her annual earnings grew to a reported $47 million , making her one of the highest-paid people on TV.

Her plainspoken advice for anyone negotiating for better pay? "You have to make yourself indispensable — and that is irrespective of what you do," she said. "Once you've done that and have leverage, make a reasonable demand and know what the commodity is worth."

Judy Sheindlin on Ending ‘Judge Judy,’ Her New Show and the Legal System’s Biggest Flaw

After 25 years, television's highest-paid host — and The Hollywood Reporter's Unscripted TV Player of the Year — is walking away from the show that made her an icon, but she has no plans to put the gavel down anytime soon with 'Judy Justice' in the works for IMDb TV.

Judith Sheindlin has not donned a lace collar or black robe in two weeks. Since the final taping of Judge Judy in early April, the prosecutor turned TV personality has been trying her best to relax at the Naples, Florida, home she keeps with her husband, Jerry.

Her eponymous syndicated court show made its no-nonsense star, with her eye roll for the ages, a cultural icon and, at a reported $47 million a season, TV’s highest-paid host. Now, after a 25-season run, its final episodes will air this year. But court is not adjourned. At 78, Sheindlin is making the segue to streaming. She and her gavel return to Los Angeles in late summer to begin production on Judy Justice , an arbitration-based reality show for Amazon’s ad-supported IMDb TV. There, the onetime Manhattan family court judge wants to assure her loyal viewers, all 10 million who still tune in every Monday through Friday, that she has no intention of reinventing the wheel. “Look, I do what I do,” says Sheindlin, referring to both her person and procedure. “So within the confines of me doing what I do, we’ll be changing some of the things around me. But I’m not becoming a ballet dancer.”

Speaking over the phone in late April — she does not care for Zoom — Sheindlin, THR ‘s Unscripted TV Player of the Year, opened up about her thoughts on retirement, the fascination surrounding her public salary and what annoys her most about the American legal system.

I once heard you say that you used to clean the bathroom after work to feel like you’d accomplished something. At what point in your career did you stop doing that?

Never. When I’ve had a frustrating day at work, which I do occasionally, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to get out the silver polish and do some frames around the house or find an old pair of earrings and clean them up — even if I never wear them again. I like to see things tied up in a bow. Perhaps that’s the reason for ending the show after 25 years.

That’s also how long Oprah Winfrey did her talk show.

Nobody says, “Oh, they did that show 27 years.” That’s not a number! Plus, it’s always good to leave everybody wanting a little bit more.

You famously used to negotiate your Judge Judy deal by presenting a sealed envelope containing your desired salary to your CBS executive at the end of a lunch. Did you do the same with Jeff Bezos?

No, I did not. ( Laughs. ) Without giving you specifics, because that’s a little unseemly, my compensation has not been a secret. It’s been out there for a long time — not by me, but it got out there and had its own life. So, the folks at Amazon understood what the parameters were. There was no issue.

It may be unseemly, but your salary and your leverage are such a big part of your lore. What do you think of that?

The People’s Court , they’ve had several judges. The Tonight Show has had several hosts. But I Love Lucy only had one Lucille Ball. So, almost 20 years ago, I told the company that I worked for this: “I want to be more of a partner. Don’t treat me as a paid employee. I could make this show without you — I created a deal where I could do that — but you can’t make it without me. I can take Judy Sheindlin anywhere else. And good luck with you if you can find somebody else. Otherwise, let’s share the gift that this program has brought to both of us.” I don’t think that there’s anything unreasonable about that.

Did you give any consideration to retiring?

I’m not tired. I don’t play golf or tennis. I have no desire to learn how to play mahjong, chess or checkers. I know what I like to do. Why, at my stage in life, would I try to find something else when I already know what I like? And this isn’t a 9-to-5 job. I’ve still got the time to see the children I love, the grandchildren who are growing up very fast and the cute mate who I still get a kick out of.

You’ve let your hair down, literally, in recent years. Some viewers have been vocal in their disapproval of your new style. How do you feel about your appearance being so widely discussed?

I thought it was the message, not the look of the messenger. I didn’t even think people looked that closely anymore. They look to see what Halle Berry looks like, but that was never my thing. I mean, I was cute but not a knockout. People stopped whistling at me as I passed a construction site decades ago. And what happens when you reach a certain age is that people say, “Oh, she looks better than I thought she did!” or, “Considering, she looks OK.” There’s always that qualification.

But people are accustomed to seeing you look a certain way … hair up, black robe, lace collar.

It’s sort of funny. “How could she change her hair? It’s an iconic hairdo.” No, it’s not. It’s a lot of goop and teasing and product and fussing around by somebody else. This is so much easier. And as each hour in every day we have becomes more precious, the less you want to spend time patshkeing over the way you look. Do you know how to spell “patshkeing”? You’ll have to look it up. It’s a Yiddish term. It means messing around.

What can you tell me about the new show?

We have to deliver a certain number of episodes by December, and then Amazon will make the determination how and when they want to release this show. I don’t know. Give me a robe and a case, and I’ll do my job. I had wonderful people producing and directing the Judge Judy program, and a couple of them will be following me to Amazon. That will keep my life on a steady keel.

In moving from one era of your career to the next, how much do you think about legacy?

Listen, you’ve got to be in it to win it — like the lottery. One of the things that family court judges worry about, at least the ones that have a soul, is that you’re always taking a risk. You take a risk when you return a baby to a mother who had been a crackhead. She’s been in a program and social services says she’s OK and ready to have her child back. But you never want to see that baby on the front page of a newspaper having been abandoned, abused or killed by that parent. You’ve dodged a bullet if you can end your career in the family court having dodged something like that.

Tell me about a time where your own moral code came into conflict with the law as it’s written.

Well, [the law] is supposed to be even-handed. You and I both know that’s not true. And because you’re dealing with lives, you have to rely on common sense and sometimes your gut. Did you see the case that I did with a little white dog?

I think so. Remind me.

This man, who had a dog for five years, said his dog was stolen from his yard. The defendant said she had the dog for over a year, said she had a bill of sale. This dog was in the back of the courtroom, so I had it brought up and said, “Just put the dog down.” The dog went right over to the man. Now, that’s not law. But I know that when my husband and I come in, my dog runs to me. I’m the one who feeds her. She’s my dog. So I knew — at least I hoped — that the dog would know who it loved. You’ve got to be flexible.

What do you see as the biggest flaw in the American legal system right now?

The length of time that it takes for people to get a conclusion to whatever is interfering with their life. Civil or criminal, cases take too long — primarily as a result of lazy judges or lawyers who have a financial interest in keeping a case going.

Were you surprised by the expediency of the Derek Chauvin trial?

That’s what happens when you have a movie. It wasn’t an issue as to what happened. And the judge, I think he was pretty straight-up. He didn’t duck and cover. The media wasn’t going to allow any delay, and rightfully so. The country wanted a resolution. It’s a different age now. If it’s a homicide, a robbery, a burglary … you often have it on video.

As someone who’s openly defied the “PC police” throughout her career, what is your take on the trend of people being shamed for past comments?

If you’re a bad person, if you’ve done something wrong, you’ve got to be prepared to pay the piper. And there are people who have done just that. They’ve paid the price with their good name, their footprint. That’s a good thing. But to have a fear of speaking your opinion, for fear of being put on somebody’s list and canceled? It’s a frightening place for America to be. And you’re right. I’m not a big fan of the PC police. Is it PC to say to people who are 19 or 23 years old, have no job, no prospects and six children, “Find something else to do with that organ”? No. But where I come from, I’ve seen the ravages of that kind of neglect.

There’s been a lot of talk about expanding the Supreme Court. What do you think of that?

It’s a dumb idea. We’ve worked brilliantly in this country with the Supreme Court exactly the way it is. Changing it makes absolutely no sense to me, except politically. As vacancies become available, the next crop may represent one view and it may not. Judges very often become chameleons when they take the bench.

I wouldn’t consider you a chameleon.

I’m not a chameleon. My message has been the same for half a century: “Pick up your trash. Don’t expect me to pick up after you.” This country goes to the left and to the right but eventually comes back to the center. You just have to hope that you can withstand those swings, that you can get back to a reasonable place where everybody has the opportunity to realize the American dream like me.

You don’t strike me as a crier. How did you feel shooting your last episode of Judge Judy ?

I didn’t feel all that emotional. I wasn’t teary. I felt gratified that I had completed that part of my journey and done it respectably. It was just the end of the day, the end of the job. I cleaned the bathroom, and the bathroom is sparkling.

The Fabulous Life of Judge Judy: Multiple Estates, Celebrity BFFs, Yachts and More

The hot bench creator's has quite the enviable lifestyle.

Judge Judy

All that crime and punishment has given Judge Judy ( Judith Susan "Judy" Sheindlin ) a life of luxury.

The Judge Judy host has accumulated wealth beyond comprehension over the years, thanks to her hit syndicated TV show and her latest show Hot Bench , which started in 2014. Sheindlin essentially has the monopoly on court TV, and it has given her a fabulous life, with a net worth estimated around an astounding $420 million.

When she's not telling plaintiffs or defendants to put on their listening ears or reminding them that "ummm" is not an answer, the judge is living the good life in private. As she celebrates her 77th birthday on October 21, we decided to celebrate Sheindlin's accomplishments and dig a little deeper into her life away from the courtroom. 

Sheindlin, who has been married three times (her current husband, Jerry Sheindlin , served as a New York State Supreme Court judge), has accumulated quite the real estate portfolio. She owns at least  six lux properties across the U.S., two in Naples, Florida; one in Greenwich, Connecticut; one in Newport, Rhode Island; one in Manhattan and one in Los Angeles. 

Here is her real estate portfolio breakdown (and this is just the surface of her expensive and A-list life!):

1. Naples: $11 million penthouse that features four bedrooms and an enclosed lagoon.

2. Naples: $8.6 million extended family friendly mansion less than a mile from the aforementioned penthouse.

3. Greenwich: $13.2 million manor that serves as her primary residence. It has nine bedrooms and sits on 12.5 acres.

4. Beverly Hills: When Sheindlin finds herself in Los Angeles, she says at her $10.7 million five-bedroom condo at The Montage. Not too shabby.

5. New York: When she needs a little city living, Sheindlin travels to her $8.5 million, four-bedroom duplex the Upper East Side's Sutton Place neighborhood.

6. Newport: In 2018, Sheindlin scooped up the $9 million home known as the "Bird House" that sits atop the highest point in the Rhode Island beach town. The breathtaking 9,719-square-foot property previously belonged to Dorrance "Dodo" Hamilton , the heiress to the Campbell Soup fortune who passed away in 2017.

The Hot Bench  creator flies to Los Angeles once or twice a month to film her signature Judge Judy , but she doesn't fly commercial. The honorable travels on her private jet to her Beverly Hills condo and then returns to the East Coast three days later. She also used to own a 152-foot-long yacht named Triumphant Lady , but she sold the $6.9 million vessel.

But Sheindlin's properties and amenities aren't the only reasons her life is so fabulous. The famous legal eagle also has notable celebrity friends, including Bette Midler and Samuel L. Jackson . She was also close with the late Brady Bunch star Florence Henderson and the late Fashion Police host Joan Rivers . And she counts RuPaul , Amy Poehler and Amy Schumer among her many, many fans—famous or otherwise.

Earlier this year, Sheindlin revealed in a New York Times Magazine interview just how she became the country's highest-paid TV host, making $47 million a year for just 52 days of filming. In as no-nonsense a way you could imagine, she enjoys a dinner every three years at the Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills with the president of CBS Television Distribution to discuss her contract. "She writes down the salary she wants, seals it in an envelope and presents it at the end of the meal," the story read. "Once, a president presented her with his own envelope, which she refused to open: 'This isn't a negotiation,' she told him. She sold the rights to the show's library to CBS in 2017 for a reported $95 million."

She really is the boss, applesauce.

Sunrise Yachts, a luxury yacht building company which is based in Turkey, has been made a main sponsor of next year’s 2011 Moscow International Boat Show (MIBS). The four-day Russian yacht show event is currently scheduled to run from April 14-17 at the Moscow’s Crocus exhibition centre.

moscow boat show

MIBS is organised by the ITE Group and it is one of Russia’s leading boat shows and is an internationally recognised superyacht event. The show covering everything from small parts and accessories to large superyacht with over 9,000 people and 178 exhibitors attended the last year show.

The Paolo Scanu-designed Sunrise 45 yacht is an ocean-going cruising yacht that was released in 2009 to much acclaim at this was the group’s first-ever model.

Sunrise Yachts was founded in 2007 by the German entrepreneur Herbert P Baum along with the French-British yacht builder Guillaume Roché. The luxury yacht group is based in Antalya, Turkey and utilises a 10,000sq m shipyard facility. Sunrise has two sheds measuring 100m (328ft) x 16m (53ft), as well as a 70m (230ft) x 16m (53ft) fully acclimatized paint shed that can accommodate new-build and refit projects up to 65m (213ft) in length and 1,200 tonnes displacement.

Along each side of the yacht-building facility, space is available for long-term sub-contractors with the latest equipment and logistics capabilities, along with air-conditioned storage, ventilation and extraction plants. The shipyard is organized as an “assembler,” based loosely on the car industry’s model, with a small, yet powerful project management team charged with running all the in-house long-term sub-contractors.
