The Co-host of Wheel Of Fortune Vanna White, settles for $100,000 per episode to continue the ABC hit game show.
According to a source who spoke to TMZ on July 20, Vanna White’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, allegedly informed Sony that Vanna wanted “50% of what Pat Sajak was making,” but they refused to comply.

According to reports, Pat, who has hosted shows with Vanna for decades, earns more than $400K per episode. As a result, Vanna will reportedly receive $300K less every Celebrity Wheel of Fortune show than the 76-year-old.
The mother-of-two is supposedly earning about $3 million annually, while the tabloid said that Pat earns over $15 million annually. Vanna has not received a single increase for the past 18 years, despite making millions of dollars.
“Asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer after 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than Pat,” an insider told the site on June 29.

The source for the site indicated that negotiations with Sony are “very difficult” because there is no mutual understanding between the two companies. Pat’s departure from the program after the 2023–2024 season puts Sony in a “tough spot” as well.
Given that big transition, Sony does not want to “lose Pat and Vanna at the same time.”
