A $1.6 million judgment against CNBC talk show host Donny Deutsch has been affirmed by the Appellate Division, First Department.

Sotheby’s International Realty sued Deutsch in 2011 for failing to pay a commission on the $30 million sale of Deutsch’s East Hampton property. A 2014 bench trial before Manhattan Commercial Division Justice Charles Ramos found an unwritten contract existed to pay the commission.
