Sheindlin, who makes a cool $47 million a year, was spotted out celebrating with her children at Milos seafood restaurant in New York on Wednesday night, according to TMZ.
When TMZ asked her if she ever thinks about slowing down her TV schedule, she laughed and said: 'You go until you stop.'
Earlier in the year, Sheindlin had been shopping around the reruns to her show for a whopping $200 million.
But she ultimately sold the rights back to CBS.
CBS now has rights to more than 5,200 episodes of Judge Judy and also got Sheindlin to sign onto the show for another year, which will take her up to the 2020-21 season
In its 21st season, her courtroom show still averages more than 10 million viewers an episode.
The television personality began her legal career when she passed the bar in her home state of New York back in 1965.
Her no-nonsense attitude lead her to an appointment by New York Mayor Ed Koch as criminal court judge back in 1982.
This led to a lot of publicity in the media as she was profiled by the Los Angeles Times which lead her to a segment on CBS's 60 Minutes.
In 1996 she published her first book Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining and retired as a family court judge the same year.
It was then where she was approached about doing a reality courtroom show and Judge Judy premiered on September 16, 1996.
