People fell in love with Judy’s “no fuss” attitude and how she was able to be orderly and tough while still showing sympathy to those who needed it most.
As her show was on air, Judy guest starred on several other television shows like “The Simpsons,” “America’s Next Top Model,” Saturday Night Live,” and more. In 2014, she created her own production company called Queen Bee Productions.
After “Judge Judy” came to an end, Judy launched a new show on Freevee called “Judy Justice,” which received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program following its first season.
With all of her success, Judy has found ways to give back to others. More recently, she donated $5 million towards a scholarship fund covering full tuition and book expenses for 10 women who were enrolled at her Alma Mater, New York Law School.
Judy also worked with her stepdaughter Nicole to create Her Honor Mentoring, an organization that provides a platform for women to seek education and career advice from mentors or become mentors themselves.
Today, Judy is one of the highest-paid women on television, proving that hard work and excellent service can take you far.
