Judge Judy Sheindlin’s New York City penthouse duplex has been listed for $9.5 million.
The 81-year-old media personality and her husband, former New York City trial judge Jerry Sheinlin, are selling their Manhattan home, which they used as a pied-à-terre, for the first time in over a decade
“We’ve enjoyed this jewel of an apartment,” Sheindlin said. “Time to simplify.”
The couple’s penthouse at 14 Sutton Place South is located in one of Manhattan’s most exclusive enclaves on the Upper East Side. The Sheindlins, who have been married for more than four decades, bought the property for $8.5 million in 2013.
