The contract negotiation situation between Vanna White and Sony seems like it has the potential to get ugly — a scenario Wheel of Fortune clearly hoped to avoid in their quick naming of Ryan Seacrest as Pat Sajak’s eventual replacement. The co-host made it clear that she wishes to stay with the program when her longtime colleague steps away at the end of the upcoming season, as long as she can get a deal done. With her current contract expiring in 2024, it’s been reported that the employee of 41 years is asking for half of what Sajak made, so how much difference was there between their paychecks anyway?
Reports have surfaced recently that apparently show that Vanna White has been making around $3 million a year for the past 18 years. While she hasn’t received a pay bump in nearly two decades, there are reportedly bonuses, though those details haven’t been disclosed. Pat Sajak, meanwhile, allegedly makes $15 million per season.
