Vanna White Threatens To Leave ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ If Denied Her First Raise In 18 Years

Vanna White is making changes now that Pat Sajak will be stepping down as host of Wheel of Fortune.

Vanna has reportedly made it crystal clear that the long-standing pay difference between herself and Pat is as major issue. Vanna's salary has been $3 million a year, while Pat was making $15 million.

Vanna's lawyer has reportedly asked for a salary that is half of what Pat was making. TMZ also reports that Sony, the company that produces the show, has indicated it is unwilling to negotiate.

A source close to the situation told TMZ that the current conversations are "very difficult" and that Vanna is taking everything seriously. The source says, "She feels like it's a statement for all women."
