White's new contract keeps her on the show for another two years, but after that, there's no telling what might occur. Their celebrity status is pretty equal, yet White was only making $3 million a year, compared to Sajak's $15 million per year salary. That clause was indeed removed, which might signal White's intention to file a gender discrimination suit against Sony. White and Sajak are equally billed as the co-stars of the show, and they are announced as such as they walk out hand-in-hand for each episode. That clause would release the studio from any claims that White might have against them. According to TMZ, White's lawyer insisted during the negotiations that a clause in White's contract be removed.
Here is where the waters begin to get a little murky.
According to TMZ, negotiations between White's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, and Sony were 'very difficult.' Freedman wanted her to earn at least half of what co-star Sajak is making, which is his current $15 million dollar per season salary.
