Judith Sheindlin is one lucky lady (we didn’t have to tell you that). In addition to her $47 million a year salary for her iconic CBS show Judge Judy, Hollywood Reporter reports the mogul has been quietly pitching various outlets after negotiating the rights to her reruns.

The starting bid? $200 million!

The daily show is one of the top-rated shows on CBS, so it’s no surprise why she’s earning so much. Her recent contract negotiation locked her at a comfortable $47 million per year along with rights to her library, which includes thousands of old episodes, HR reports.

If all goes according to plan, she’d be able to sell them for nearly $200 million.

The show has yet to be seriously exploited in the streaming, cable or global marketplace, which is why TV stations across the country are itching at the chance to grab Judy’s reruns.

To date, Judge Judy brings in nearly 10 million viewers a day. Last year, she launched Hot Bench, which also performed well.

Other on-air personalities to won their libraries were Johnny Carson, who had the rights to his Tonight Show episodes until his estate sold them to Antenna TV; Oprah Winfrey, who planned on airing them on her own network OWN, which didn’t work out.

Judy’s reruns are sure to be fine, seeing as the “look” of the show hasn’t changed much from now to ten years ago.
