A LOT of dollars.

The TV judge – whose courtroom reality TV show has grossed an incredible $2.6 billion over its time – reportedly takes home an annual salary of $71 million.

Yep, $71 million!

If you want to break it down, that’s $1.4 million a week.

The salary has been revealed as part of a breach of contract lawsuit filed by CBS, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
