Fans Are Outraged After Finding Out How Much Vanna White Is Being Paid
Beloved
game show host Vanna White has successfully negotiated a pay raise for
her role on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Brokered through her attorney
Bryan Freedman, the deal secures White $100,000 per episode for the
13-episode spinoff featuring 27 celebrities. This marks a substantial
increase from her previous contract, which had remained stagnant for 18
years.
However, negotiations regarding White’s compensation for the main
Wheel of Fortune show remain unresolved. Currently earning $3 million
annually, she has requested 50 percent of Pat Sajak’s $15 million
salary. These discussions have hit a roadblock, with Sony rejecting
efforts to mediate through a third party.
White’s disappointment with the situation has grown, as she feels
undervalued and disrespected by the show’s producers. As tensions
escalate, there are concerns that the situation could turn contentious
if Sony fails to address White’s concerns seriously. With the ongoing
writers’ strike also impacting negotiations, the future of Wheel of
Fortune remains uncertain.
In the midst of these developments, White’s attorney, renowned for
resolving conflicts between talents and networks, continues to advocate
for her interests.
