Judge Judy might not make any money on her New York City apartment, which she's been trying to sell for over a year now. It's very possible she may even lose money in the process, as she slashed $1 million off its market price.
The famous American jurist and TV personality bought the home in September 2013 for $8.5 million, according to Zillow. It's located in Sutton Place, an upscale enclave along the East River. In May 2024, Judge Judy listed the property for $9.5 million. Over a year later without a buyer, the price has been cut to $8.5 million — the exact same price she bought it over a decade ago.

"We've enjoyed this jewel of an apartment," Judge Judy, whose real name is Judith Sheindlin, said in a statement to Mansion Global, noting it's "time to simplify."
The duplex penthouse is in a pre-war, white-glove cooperative, so it combines charming aesthetics with all the amenities. The semi-private elevator opens to a 29-foot entrance gallery on the lower level, according to the Compass listing. This is also where you'll find all four bedrooms and all four full bathrooms. There are also two half bathrooms on the second level.
Making your way upstairs, you get east- and south-facing views of the East River from the living room, which boasts a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room has floor-to-ceiling French casement doors, the paneled library also has a wood-burning fireplace and the chef's kitchen has a dining area and professional-grade appliances.

As you'd hope for with a penthouse, the home features a wrap-around terrace that's accessible from the living room, dining room and library. It's loaded with greenery, and there's plenty of space for outdoor dining and a seating area – and then some! But just in case that outdoor area is not enough, the building offers a common roof deck for all residents.
The elegant 14 Sutton Place South building was built in 1929 and designed by architect Rosario Candela, as detailed on the building's website. It has 24-hour door attendants, a live-in resident manager, a gym, a meeting room and 15 floors, with Judge Judy's penthouse topping them all.
"Sutton Place has long been recognized as one of Manhattan's toniest enclaves and an oasis from the chaos typically associated with city living. This sprawling penthouse embodies the quintessence of the neighborhood," listing agents Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon of Compass told Mansion Global in a statement.
