Salary

Her salary was reportedly increased in the deal and she is estimated to earn $10 million through the 2025-2026 season.

Other ventures and earnings

White's salary from "Wheel of Fortune" is not her largest source of income. White reportedly made more money licensing her image to casino slot machines as Wheel of Fortune was the first entertainment property to be licensed for use on slot machines.

The Wheel of Fortune branded slot machines were first placed in casinos in Las Vegas in 1996 and they turned out to be a huge success. Soon they were licensed all across the globe.
