"Wheel of Fortune" is undergoing a major shakeup after the show's 41st season, which premieres in September, with longtime hostPat Sajak retiringand being replaced by Ryan Seacrest.

But amid the sweeping changes, one element of the show that has remained steady has come to light — co-host Vanna White's salary.

White's contract is set to end this year, and the report says she's currently in negotiations. Her longtime salary isreportedly$3 million.

Sajak, in contrast, makesa reported$15 million per season, nearly five times the amount of his cohort.

White has allegedlyhired lawyerBryan Freedman to represent her, the same legal representation that fought on behalf of Tucker Carlson and Chris Cuomo and their swift outings from FOX and CNN, respectively, as well as fellow game show veteran and "Wheel of Fortune" producer Mike Richards.

Her case is set to be based on pay discrepancy regarding gender discrimination, and she is reportedly seeking 50% of what Sajak makes.

"She feels like it's a statement for all women," a source toldTMZof White's negotiations.
