The People's Court has a $500.00 fund for each case. For settlements less than $500, they pay the settlement, then split the remainder between the litigants. For cases greater than $500, they pay the settlement and give the loser $25.00. Either way, neither party can lose.
The judgement is paid out of the fund and remaining is devided between the two litigants
When Judge Judy decides there's no case from either party's claim/dispute, she will drop the case (occasionally with no prejudice) and no one--plaintiff and defendant--is paid.
The producers put aside a $5000 fund for every case to pay every judgment. I've heard the litigants split the remaining money. But at the end of every episode, in small print, it tells you about the money and payout.
actually when you go on Judge Judy both the defendant and the plaintiff get money from judge judy just to be on the show then when somebody wins ,ex: plaintiff wins the case, the defendant has to give over his money that he got from judge judy. Basically judge pays for all of the winners
She was a judge, but she retired. She is now a arbitrator, deciding legal cases that otherwise might have been settled in Civil Court. Other than returning misappropriated property, litigants on her TV show are not legally responsible for monetary awards she orders, as these are paid by the show. Judge Judy (Judith Scheindlin) retired from public service in 1996, after 14 years, presiding over 20,000 cases as a judge in New York City. She is still a qualified attorney in the State of New York.

In 2013, TV Guide magazine put out its annual salary survey, and Judge Judy was the highest paid celebrity on TV. Her syndicated (and highly rated) program earned her an estimated $47 million.
According to the annual (2013) salary survey published in TV Guide, Judge Judy is currently making as much as $45 million a year. This sounds amazing (or outrageous, if you don't like her show), but successful syndicated programs like hers are very lucrative and the hosts or stars tend to be very well paid for their work.

Yes, the Litigants on court shows like The Peoples Court are paid for their appearance. In the ending credits of the show there is usually a message reading some like "Both the plaintiff and the defendant have been paid from a fund for their appearance. The amount, if any, awarded in the case, is deducted from this fund, and the remainder is divided equally between both litigants. The amount of the fund is dependent on the size of the judgement." In advance of the taping the litigants are given a packet of information detailing all of this.
They don't get 200,000,000 like the last guy said but they get paid by advertising or by products they sell.
