Vanna White’s impressive fortune is a testament to her impeccable sense of style and her enviable wardrobe, which has become almost as iconic as her decades-long presence on television. Her collection of glamorous gowns and designer outfits not only highlights her fashion-forward image but also underscores how her sartorial choices have contributed to her lasting appeal and success in the entertainment industry.
The “Wheel of Fortune” host, 68, first joined the game show family in 1982 and has since donned over 8,000 gowns on air.
Despite not taking home any of the looks, one dress was an all-time favorite of the letter-turning legend.

“There is one; it didn’t come home with me, but it stuck out of all the over 8,000 dresses I’ve worn,” White exclusively told The Post at Hulu’s Get Real event. “It was a full-length white dress, and the bottom had pink feathers. When I was a kid, I had a Barbie that had that outfit or something similar, and it reminded me of it for some reason. And pink’s my favorite color, and it was just perfect.”
The star co-hosted the series with Pat Sajak for 40 years, from 1981 until his retirement in 2024. Now, White’s new partner in crime is Ryan Seacrest
“He did slip right in because he did his research and his homework. He really studied, and he practiced and all that,” she explained of Seacrest. “So he did a good job stepping in, and he always said, ‘I am not replacing Pat Sajak. I’m not taking his place. I’m just stepping in.’”
The two recently took the show to Hawaii for a special episode while Seacrest, 50, filmed “American Idol.”

“We had so much fun and he’s such a character,” White gushed. “I mean, him falling into the water and doing all those fun things. We had a great time.”
Along with her work husband, another leading man in White’s life is her son, Nikko Santo Pietro, whom she shares with her ex, George Santo Pietro.
The mother-son duo have taken the internet by storm with their cooking videos on Instagram — and, as long as they are together, White is happy to whip up anything.

“He’s a great cook. I’m a terrible cook. So it’s just fun,” she expressed. “The food’s delicious.”
White also shared that the best piece of advice Santo Pietro has given her in the kitchen so far is, “Don’t look at me when I’m salting the food.”
“I’m not a salt person, and I guess salt is the key to really good food. So I just turn my head when he’s salting,” White explained before the 30-year-old chimed in, “She doesn’t like the salt, so I have to be very secretive. I always say, ‘Close your eyes,’ and I’ll salt the dish.”

Regardless of White’s lack of love for sodium, Santo Pietro is just happy to be spending time with the host.
“I mean, it’s amazing,” he sweetly said. “You know, we get to talk, we got to hang out, we do all the things together. I teach her a thing or two, and it’s wonderful. I love it.”
Along with the realtor’s cooking skills, fans also couldn’t help but notice his good looks.

“I’m so honored, really,” Santo Pietro said about the attention. “It’s so sweet to be noticed, and it’s been great. I love it.”
The chef also took a moment to reveal who his dream collaboration in the kitchen would be.
“Bobby Flay,” Santo Pietro stated. “I love his energy. Bobby, let’s go!”

Fans may not have to wait much longer to see White’s son in action on a bigger platform, as he is open to taking his chef skills to television.
“100% Yeah, absolutely,” Santo Pietro revealed before teasing, “There may be some stuff in the works.”
