Vanna White is a fixture in American television history. She's a figure who has spun letters and fortunes throughout her career.

The world first became enamored with Vanna White when she took her initial stroll next to Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune in 1982. Television audiences couldn't get enough of her grace, her charm, and those consonants and vowels she effortlessly revealed. It was more than mere letters; it was an exercise in luminous elegance. She has since become an iconic figure in American television, generating an awe-inspiring net worth of $85 million in 2023, according to Sportskeeda.

A lot more than just the pleasant hostess of a game show, Vanna White revolutionized how women were perceived in prime-time television. She brought a brand of femininity and poise that made her more than just a pretty face. Her enduring presence on Wheel of Fortune has made it one of the longest-running syndicated game shows in the U.S., and her accolades include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
