America’s most famous television judge, Judge Judy, is preparing to wrap up her long-running show in 2020, and she’s expecting a lot of money from whoever chooses to buy the huge collection of episodes.
According to BroBible, 74-year-old Judy Sheindlin is looking for a whopping $200 million for the rights to air reruns of the show once it finally ends. As the highest paid person in all of reality television, earning about $47 million per year, it might not be a huge stretch to find a buyer for the catalog.
However, some insiders don’t believe she will be able to find a buyer for that price tag. One unnamed source was quoted as saying:
“Is it sellable? Yes. Is it sellable for hundreds of millions of dollars? I don’t think so.”
However, it is one of the top-rated shows on CBS, so we will just have to wait and see what happens as the show’s ending approaches.
