Pat Sajak and Vanna White do not tell there salaries and neither does the Sony Pictures Corporation who pays them. They announced signing a new 3 year contract in 2011 and did not disclose any salary information.
On Monday September 17 2012 they begin there 30th season and sometime during the year Sony Pictures Television will announce a new contact for Pat Sajak and Vanna White to do a few more years of the program
The salaries of Pat Sajak and Vanna White have never been publicly released, but they would likely be in high-6 or low-7 figures (6 to 12 million for Pat, probably less for Vanna). Which is affordable given the show's success and the necessity of filming 250+ shows a year, some on location in other cities. Still, it is not a very demanding position and they are only working an average of 5 or 6 days a month. Nice work if you can get it.
Vanna White does not make her salary public.Expect that it is very high after having the number one syndicated show on television for over 25 years. The only knowledge I have heard about either Pat Sajak's or Vanna White's salary was when Pat Sajak left the daytime Wheel of Fortune in 1989 to host a late night talk show for 60,000 a week. The article claimed that it was much less than his Wheel of Fortune Salary for the nighttime syndicated show.
Pat Sajak, took over on December 28 1981 after Chuck Woolery left the Daytime Wheel of Fortune following a salary dispute with Merv Griffin. The current syndicated version premiered on September 19, 1983 with Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
