The contestant, who identifies as transgender, is being dubbed the most successful female to appear on the show as the winning streak continues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 42-year-old Oakland resident shared news of the robbery via Twitter. \u201cHi all! So, first off: I\u2019m fine. But I got robbed yesterday, lost my ID, credit cards, and phone,\u201d Schneider wrote in the tweet. \u201cI then couldn\u2019t really sleep last night, and have been dragging myself around all day trying to replace everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This news comes as Schneider\u2019s winning streak continues on the popular game show. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/jeopardy-champion-amy-schneider-robbed-oakland\">Fox News<\/a>, the theft took place just after 3:30 p.m. Sunday. \u201cTwo people, one with a firearm, approached a victim and demanded their property,\u201d the outlet said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe victim complied, and the individuals ran off with the victim\u2019s personal belongings,\u201d the Oakland Police Department told the news outlet.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if this was a targeted attack. Schneider has become a well-known figure as the first trans person to qualify for the show\u2019s \u201cTournament of Champions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the contestant has reported instances of online bullying, which were met with sarcastic replies via Twitter. Schneider <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeopardamy\/status\/1476966390959509505\">shared<\/a> on December 31, \u201cI\u2019d like to thank all the people who have taken the time, during this busy holiday season, to reach out and explain to me that, actually, I\u2019m a man. Every single one of you is the first person ever to make that very clever point, which had never once before crossed my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since beginning the game, Schneider has become the fourth highest-earning contestant in regular-season play with $897,600. That puts Schneider in fourth place overall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the Oakland-based contestant avoided the so-called Monday \u201cJeopardy!\u201d curse, which host Ken Jennings pointed out at the beginning of Monday\u2019s show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow our returning champion Amy Schneider certainly ended 2021 on a high note, securing her 23rd consecutive win,\u201d Jennings said at the beginning of the episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is right now the fifth-biggest money winner in \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 history with the fourth-longest winning streak. So that\u2019s all very impressive, but \u2014 but could she fall victim to the \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 Monday curse that fell James Holzhauer, Matt Amodio, Julia Collins, so many other great super champs of the past?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The curse was nothing for Schneider, who won on Monday and got one step closer to entering the champion circle of highest earners on the show.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/popculture\/tv\/jeopardy-monday-curse-amy-schneider-break-rcna10846\">Today<\/a>, these include Matt Amodio in third place with $1,518,601, James Holzhauer in second with $2,462,216 and Jennings with his $2,520,700 in total earnings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The highest-earning woman to appear on \u201cJeopardy!\u201d is Larissa Kelly, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/who-run-the-world-girls-abc-news-celebrates-biological-male-setting-jeopardy-records-as-victory-for-women\">conceded her title<\/a> to Schneider, a biological male.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years\u2026but it\u2019s been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence, on the show and off,\u201d Kelly tweeted. \u201cCongratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show\u2019s history!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that, Schneider responded, \u201cThanks so much, I\u2019m honored to be in your company, and I look forward to someday watching the woman who beats us both!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
