Her TV Earnings is the Biggest Contributor to Her Net Worth
- TV Shows and Acting
Given that Wheel of Fortune is her single biggest source of income, it’s still not the only avenue Vanna White makes money on TV. She’s an actress who has earned reasonably well from a slew of movies and TV shows she has acted in. They include Midnight Offerings (1981), Goddess of Love (1988), Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994), Two Tickets to Paradise (2006). Her television shows include Gimme a Break! episode “The Big Apple: Part 1” (1984), L.A. Law (1990), Just Shoot Me! episode “A&E Biography: Nina Van Horn” (2000) and Fresh Off the Boat episode “B as in Best Friends” (2017).
- Yarn Line Business
White is not only an actress and TV personality, she also loves knitting. In fact, she owns her own crotchet and knitting line called ‘Vanna’s Choice”. She learned how to crochet from her grandmother when she was about 5. Many years latter when she saw her pregnant hairdresser crocheting a blanket for her unborn baby, she decided to go back to crocheting. Today, she has represented Lion Brand Yarn Company, a crotcheting company as their spokesperson and it was also this company that encouraged her to start her own line of yarn.
- Real Estate and House Flipping
Aside from the above, one more thing Vanna revealed to marketwatch she likes doing which she has proven to be very good at is house flipping. In 2017, she put up her Beverly Hills home for sell at the cost of $47.5 million. She got the Tuscan-style home following her divorce with ex-husband Santo Pietro and prior to its listing, the mansion has been on rent at the cost of $150,000 to $175,000 a month.
- Brand Endorsement
White’s image is one organisations want to associate with. The television personality has leveraged on this to land many commercials and brand endorsement deals like that with Stove Top Stuffing, Krispy Kreme, Cybersonic2 power flosser, Choice Hotels and SpringAir mattresses as their spokesperson.
Vanna White is a Bigger Earner but Careful with Spending
- Real Estate
Being that she’s a diligent real estate investor, Vanna spends quite a lot acquiring homes she would later resell at a profit. One such acquisition is her Sherman Oaks, California home which cost her about $1.125 million in 2013. Later on, she put up the house for rent at the cost of $20 000.
- Charity
As a patron of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital located in Memphis, Tennessee, Vanna White has donated about $1.8 million to the hospital and still hopes to do more. Speaking on this with Market Watch she expressed her intention of going into charity full time when she eventually retires from her TV job.
