own wheel of fortune.A “lawyered up” White, 66, won’t continue her long run on “Wheel of Fortune” unless she makes at least half of what Pat Sajak has been making, according to a new report from TMZ.“After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than [Pat], asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer,” a source close to White told the outlet.Sajak, 76, has hosted “Wheel” since 1981, while White joined the show a year later as the iconic letter-turner.Amid Sajak’s retirement, Seacrest has been named the new host of “Wheel of Fortune,” The Post confirmed Tuesday.But while Seacrest said he “can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White,” it remains unclear if White will join Seacrest, salary depending.Sources told TMZ that White is negotiating for the pay disparity between her and Sajak to be addressed considering they are essentially co-hosts of the beloved game show. In fact, they are even introduced on the show as equals: “Here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak and Vanna White.”TMZ also confirmed that White’s salary is $3 million a year — and that she hasn’t gotten a single pay increase for the last 18 years.Since 2005, White has received only bonuses, not raises, according to Puck News.Meanwhile, Sajak reportedly makes about $15 million a year — five times the amount as his counterpart.
