'Jeopardy' champion Amy Schneider is the fourth highest-earning contestant in history
Fox News
It has been a pretty eventful year for “Jeopardy!” fans thanks to a hosting controversy as well as two record-breaking contestants stealing the show.
Unfortunately, she’s still a long way away from catching up to Matt Amodio, who took third place earlier this year behind the infamous James Holzhauer and current host Ken Jennings with $1,518,601. Schneider will need a lot more winnings to catch up to her three fellow record holders. While fans have learned not to underestimate her abilities over the last 16 games, she has much more attainable records in her crosshairs at the moment.
According to the Jeopardy Hall of Fame, she is just four wins away from unseating David Madden and Jason Zuffranieri to take the fifth spot for most consecutive games won. One more win after that and she’ll secure the fourth place currently held by Julia Collins.
