The 'Wheel of Fortune' co-host has been turning letters on the show since 1982, and she temporarily took over hosting duties while Sajak underwent emergency surgery for a blocked intestine in 2019. White had not reached a deal with the game show as of June, according to Entertainment Weekly. Sajak made $15 million per year from 'Wheel of Fortune' in 2016, Forbes reported. White reportedly earns $3 million annually, while Sajak makes five times as much, according to People via Puck. Her last pay increase was reportedly nearly 20 years ago.
She is reportedly in negotiations to renew her contract to continue co-hosting 'Wheel of Fortune,' according to People.
White reportedly said she would remain on the beloved game show under one condition - a pay raise. 'Wheel of Fortune' has since named Ryan Seacrest as his successor. White's upcoming absences come after Pat Sajak's retirement announcement. 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' stars Vanna White and Pat Sajak.
