JUDGE MATHIS- $20 MILLION

Fortune can really come to anyone and any profession. Surprisingly, even a judge like Judge Greg Mathis was able to bank $20 million. Well, who is Judge Mathis? Judge Greg Mathis is an American Superior Court Judge who rose to fame through his arbitration-based reality court show, Judge Mathis. He has inspired millions of viewers worldwide due to his “jail” to “judge” story. He became a beacon of hope and that anyone and everyone can rise from their adversities.

Inspired by his experiences, he started a non-profit agency called “Young Adults Asserting Themselves” (Y.A.A.T), which provides career opportunities, business loans, job training, and college enrollment for thousands of youth. With his works and advocacies, he was honored by the city of Detroit by having a street named after him, Mathis Ave. This is the same street where a housing development project is ongoing, which will replace the housing projects Mathis grew up in.
