According to, the 66-year-old TV personality is currently in the middle of renegotiating her contract following news that host Pat Sajak is retiring.After a report over the weekend claimed that White had not received a pay raise in 18 years, is now reporting that White is threatening to walk if she does not receive at least half of what Sajak was making. It was previously reported by that White was earning $3 million a year for her role on, and Sajak was bringing in five times as much. Sajak is currently making $15 million a year, according to . The 76-year-old host announced earlier this month that he will be retiring from the hit game show after season 41. Sajak has served as host of Wheel of Fortune since 1981, when he took over the position from Chuck Woolery.

"Jeopardy!" champion James Holzhauer is never one to shy away from sharing his feelings, and that holds true with his thoughts on the new host of "Wheel of Fortune." Earlier this week, it was announced that Ryan Seacrest was officially taking over hosting duties on the popular game show after Pat Sajak finishes filming the upcoming season, and Holzhauer joked that they should have taken notes from "Jeopardy!".

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.
