RYAN GRABS WHEEL FOR $50M PAYDAY!

But sweetheart deal comes with a catch

WHEELIN’ dealin’ Ryan Seacrest is in line for a head-spinning pay bump and a new and improved contract going into 2025 — thanks to his bumper crop ratings on Wheel of Fortune — but bosses aren’t being total pushovers and want him to jump through some really high hoops before ponying up the moolah, sources squeal.

“Ryan and his team are playing it cool and not gloating but there’s no question he has electrified the Wheel franchise and brought in new fans with his cheerful, high-energy presentation of the game,” spills an insider.

Longtime emcee Pat Sajak was involved in all aspects of the show, insiders say

“That success is going to translate into a longer-term deal than his current two-year contract — and we’re talking BIG. Ryan could be the first game show host to make $50 million a year!”
