Vanna White has become a household name, not by acting, nor writing a bestseller, nor directing an Oscar-nominated movie; she’s earned her fame and fortune by turning over letters in ‘Wheel of Fortune,; now celebrating its 35 years on television.
Did you know that Vanna wears an outfit only once per show, never twice? The total number of outfits now exceeds 6,500. In what can only be described as odd, Vanna appeared in a 1980 episode of The Price Is Right, as a contestant, before taking the Wheel of Fortune gig. In Hollywood she’s also done a few movies, one of them called ‘Graduation Day,’ another an NBC made for TV film called ‘Goddess of Love.’
In 2006, she was honored with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You may wonder what the job pays? How about $8 million a year! It’s estimated that her current net worth is north of $40 million.
