Approximately 40% of lawyers in the United States were made up of females as of 2021. This a list of six iconic female lawyers including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michelle Obama, Judge Judy aka Judith Sheindlin, Loretta Lynch, and Arabella Mansfield.
The 78-year-old longtime
Judge Judy star spoke about her experiences, including her record-breaking salary, via THR.
If you didn’t know, she negotiated an impressive salary of a reported $47 million per season with CBS.
Here’s what she had to say…
“I told the company that I worked for this: ‘I want to be more of a partner,” she said.
“‘Don’t treat me as a paid employee. I could make this show without you I created a deal where I could do that but you can’t make it without me. I can take Judy Sheindlin anywhere else. And good luck with you if you can find somebody else. Otherwise, let’s share the gift that this program has brought to both of us.’”
