Vanna White Holding Out for 50% of Pat Sajak’s Salary on ‘Wheel of Fortune’

Vanna White has obtained Sony spinning today as a result of she will not proceed on “Wheel of Fortune” until she makes a minimum of half of what Pat Sajak has been making … sources inform TMZ.

Sources with direct data of the negotiations say Vanna is obvious — she’s the cohost of the long-running present, so the pay disparity between her and Pat must be squarely addressed. Point of truth … they’re launched this fashion on ‘Wheel’ — “Here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak and Vanna White.”

So they’re launched as equals, however their salaries are something however. We’ve confirmed Vanna’s wage — $3 million a yr. And get this — we have confirmed that is what she’s made for the final 18 YEARS. She has not gotten a single pay improve in all that point.

Pat reportedly makes round $15 million a yr. Vanna is not asking for that, however we’re informed her lawyer, Bryan Freedman, is demanding half the quantity Pat makes.

One supply linked to Vanna put it this fashion … “After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than him [Pat], asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer.”

Sony, we’re informed, will not be on board, a minimum of not but. One supply with direct data described the negotiations as “very difficult.”

Our sources additionally say Vanna seems like the difficulty is larger than her. As one supply says, “She feels like it’s a statement for all women.”

We’re informed Vanna needs to remain on the present, but when she would not get what she believes is “a minimum of what is fair,” that is an actual risk.
