Gordon failed to show up to a civil hearing at the Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta on Friday. This is the second hearing he's missed.
As a result, Gordon was found in contempt of the order and the judgment was made "by default", reported CNN.
Brown's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Gordon last year, alleging he beat her up after a "cocaine and drinking binge."
The estate also claimed that Gordon gave Brown a "toxic cocktail" that caused her to pass out.

An autopsy in March revealed her cause of death was due to drug intoxication and immersion in water, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. They were unable to rule whether her death was "due to intentional or accidental causes."
Gordon, when reached out for his reaction, said he had no comment on the ruling.
The court ordered a jury trial to determine damages in the case.
No criminal charges have been filed against Gordon.
