Vanna White, co-host of Wheel of Fortune since 1982, has experienced a dramatic pay increase to $10 million a year ahead of her 2025-2026 contract renewal. Until now, her salary had stagnated at $3 million annually for almost 18 years, significantly less than co-host Pat Sajak. The show's filming schedule allows for a year's worth of episodes to be produced in just 34 days, effectively meaning White earns $294,117.65 each day of production. Ryan Seacrest, the new host, endorses her value, calling White an 'institution' and 'icon.'
One person who thinks White is worth every penny is Ryan Seacrest, who took over co-hosting duties when Pat Sajak retired. 'She is an institution, an icon,' Seacrest told People magazine.
White, who has co-hosted the show since 1982, revealed that for many years, she earned a $3 million annual salary - but take that 'annual' part with a grain of salt.
