How much does Pat Sajak gross per Wheel of Fortune episode?

Answer 1

Pat Sajak and Vanna White recently extended the contract with Sony pictures until the year 2014 in a recent announcement. They did not make the salary arrangements public at that time nor have they since Sony pictures has been signing contracts with Pat Sajak and Vanna White. What is known is that they have the number one syndicated show on TV and have had it for a number of years. That demands a high salary. Estimates of 5 to 10 million a season that have been made and are just estimates. Based on what has been paid for the hosts of less successful shows I expect it to be in the low eight figure range because the ratings and popularity support a figure in that range. But again that is a guess because the actual salaries are private and not part of the public record. Conan was paid that much not to do his show.

Answer 2

When Pat Sajak got married People magazine put together a story on January 15 1990 and reported that Pat Sajak earned $60,000 per week for doing a late night talk show that was cancelled the same year. It also said that he earned a lot more for doing the syndicated Wheel of Fortune show but even back in 1990 they were not telling the salaries of Pat Sajak and Vanna White. All you can tell for sure is that it was much more than the 3 million a year he was being paid to do a late night unsucessful TV talk show over 20 years ago. mnanchors.blogspot.com/2008/02/pat-sajaks-salary.html it's not a published figure
