Judge Judy: I’m worth $300m but shops at discount stores
Despite earning millions, the tough courtroom judge still shops at discount stores.
Friends revealed to Closer, that fame and fortune hasn’t changed Judge Judy.
The 73-year-old has extended her contract for her show, seeing it through until 2020 and is reportedly worth $300 million.
Closer reports Judy still buys ‘dime store cosmetics, drives a nondescript SUV and above all else, relishes time she spends with her five children and 13 grandchildren.’
‘I had very practical, wonderful parents who had a good moral compass and a work ethic,’ says Judy.
A friend adds, ‘Judy has always had feet firmly planted on the ground.’
'When it comes to everyday things, Judy hates to overpay.’
A store associate at Saks Fifth Avenue told the magazine she hits the sale racks.
‘She’s definitely not a shopaholic,’ she said. ‘There are plenty of instances where she comes in just to browse but doesn’t make a purchase.’
The Judge even shops at ‘Cosco and Walmart,’ the friend reveals.
‘She will not be played for the fool, and she isn’t going to pay $100 for something that you can get just as well for $15.’
