Vanna White has reportedly renegotiate her contract with Wheel of Fortune, but only for the celebrity edition, not the syndicated program.
According to reports, Sony has made it obvious that they are not amenable to Vanna White’s demands. According to sources with firsthand knowledge, Bryan Friedman, Vanna’s attorney, negotiated the terms of her contract with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. It turns out the deal had expired, but she still has a year left on her contract with the syndicated show.
According to reports, Friedman requested 50% of Pat’s compensation from Sony, but Sony refused to reveal Pat’s pay for Celebrity Wheel. According to reports, Pat earns just over $400k per episode. Vanna reportedly agreed to a final settlement of $100k per episode, which was a “meaningful bump” from her previous deal.
The writers’ strike has put an end to negotiations for the syndicated show, but the parties are still far apart.
