On Monday, Judge Judy Sheindlin announced on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that the upcoming season of "Judge Judy" will be her last. The show will have run for 25 years by the time it concludes.
She probably won't ever leave your TV screen, though CBS bought her entire series catalog for $100 million in 2017 , and her reruns may very well run in perpetuity. She also has plans for a new television show "Judy Justice" once "Judge Judy" wraps, though specific details about the upcoming project have yet to be revealed.
Sheindlin is famously one of the highest-paid women in daytime television she pulled in $47 million every year for just 52 days of filming. Forbes estimated her net worth to be $440 million in June 2019, naming her one of the richest self-made women in America.

A representative for Sheindlin didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on her net worth or personal life from Business Insider.
