Florida's Richest Judges Can Thank Their Spouses--a Lawyer and a TV Judge
Florida’s wealthiest judge attributes her good fortune to a conservative spending style and a husband who is an admiralty partner in a Palm Beach law firm. And the state’s second wealthiest judge has a wife who assumes the same role on TV.
The Florida judge with the highest net worth is Palm Beach Circuit Judge Elizabeth Maass, who is worth about $7.2 million, the Daily Business Review reports. Her husband is Robb Maass, a partner in Alley Maass Rogers & Lindsay in Palm Beach.
No. 2 on the list is Miami-Dade Circuit Judge John Schlesinger, whose wife is TV judge Marilyn Milian on The People’s Court. Schlesinger has a net worth of $7.18 million, including a home worth $2.7 million in Coral Gables and an Aston Martin sports car worth $95,000.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Leon Firtel. He reported a negative net worth of $33,000.
