According to a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2023\/06\/29\/vanna-white-wheel-of-fortune-pay-raise-pat-sajak-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ<\/a>, White, the beloved cohost of the iconic game show, is requesting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">pay raise<\/a> that Sony Pictures Television is currently hesitant to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to the show revealed to TMZ that White has not received a pay raise in 18 years, despite receiving bonuses, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/wheel-of-fortunes-vanna-white-hasnt-had-a-pay-raise-in-18-years-report-206935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Entertainment Tonight<\/a>. While White currently earns $3 million per year, she is seeking half of Sajak&#8217;s salary, which is estimated to be $15 million annually.<\/p>\n<p>White, who has been cohosting the show alongside Sajak since 1982, believes it would be fair for her to earn half of his current salary, amounting to $7.5 million a year. TMZ reported that White considers 50 percent of Sajak&#8217;s salary as the minimum of what is fair, especially since they are introduced as equals before each episode of the show.<\/p>\n<p>The negotiations between White and the studio have been described as &#8220;very difficult.&#8221; To represent her in this matter, White has enlisted the help of superstar entertainment attorney Bryan Freedman, who is known for his work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nancy-pelosis-husband-finally-charged-with-dui\/\" title=\"Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Husband Finally Charged With DUI\">high-profile clients<\/a> such as Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, and Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>If her requests are not met, White is reportedly prepared to leave the show. TMZ referred to her potential exit as a &#8220;real possibility&#8221; if she does not feel she is being treated fairly.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how this pay dispute will be resolved, especially as Sajak announced his upcoming retirement in early June. The transition to a new host, Ryan Seacrest, is set to take place next fall, and Sony is reportedly keen on retaining White during this period of change.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Vanna White \u2018holding out\u2019 for 50% of Pat Sajak\u2019s \u2018Wheel of Fortune\u2019 salary <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lo5XxaISrX\">https:\/\/t.co\/lo5XxaISrX<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M7F1FtEPpp\">pic.twitter.com\/M7F1FtEPpp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Post (@nypost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1674412515462201347?\">June 29, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For now, fans of &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vanna-white-lawyers-up-in-shocking-salary-fight-will-she-be-forced-out-at-wheel-of-fortune\/\" title=\"Vanna White hires lawyers amid salary dispute - Could she be ousted from 'Wheel of Fortune'?\">eagerly await updates<\/a> on the outcome of this salary fight and whether it will ultimately force Vanna White out of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Sources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2023\/06\/29\/vanna-white-wheel-of-fortune-pay-raise-pat-sajak-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/wheel-of-fortunes-vanna-white-hasnt-had-a-pay-raise-in-18-years-report-206935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Entertainment Tonight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wheel-fortune-fans-divided-pat-sajaks-indelicate-question-vanna-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Journal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jeopardy-contestant-admits-pat-sajak-might-remember\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Journal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/executives-pick-big-name-replacement-pat-sajak-wheel-fortune\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western Journal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/vanna-white-lawyers-shocking-salary-fight-will-forced-wheel-fortune\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Western Journal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>grant.
