Judge Mathis: ~ $5 Million
Michigan’s 36th District Court former Superior Court judge, Greg Mathis, may have retired formally from his duties, but he is richer now in retirement thanks to his TV show Judge Mathis. It is an arbitration-based reality TV show which he presides over and takes home $5 million every year for his expertise.
Now worth a whopping $20 million in all, Judge Mathis has his own ‘jail’ to judge story which is very inspirational. After getting his degree from college he worked in the office of Detroit councilman Clyde Cleveland, and continued his legal career. Although he is now a famous TV personality, having appeared on some of the biggest talk shows, he still offers community assistance and legal advice through his website.
