The Jeopardy! champ shares how her life has transformed since her epic winning streak and what she would tell her younger self.
Champion Amy Schneider. Not only did she have a 40-game epic winning streak resulting in $1,382,800, Schneider became the most successful woman in the show’s 39 season history. The only human to surpass Schneider’s 40 consecutiveAnd that’s just the beginning for this Oakland-based former computer scientist. Since herfame she won the 2022 Tournament of Champions and the $250,000 grand prize. Schneider also has a new memoir,, which debuts October 3rd from Avid Reader Press/Simon & Schuster.
Schneider says the biggest shift is to have the freedom to pursue her great passions and have time to really focus on what she wants to do with her life. “One of the best things about winning a bunch of money is the ability to spend a while without worrying about being able to make rent,” she says. Plus there’s the joy of being able to indulge in fine dining, which she adores. “Another great thing about winning a million dollars is you can go to places like Chez Panisse whenever you want and have really top end food,” shares Schneider of Alice Waters’ beloved food Mecca. Does she look at the prices? “No,” she says. “That would just bum us out.”Schneider reflected on her childhood and if she ever imagined growing up to break records on the show.
Just being yourself and asserting your right to be wherever you are is hugely powerful. When I was growing up, trans people essentially didn't exist. They didn't have any place in society. Every time a trans person is seen having a legitimate place in society, whether it's on Jeopardy! or being a four star admiral or being Caitlyn Jenner or anything, that is a reminder of advocating for us.
Brunner: What would you like to say to people who are trans and struggling to connect with people in their life, like a parent who might not understand? Especially now when trans rights are in peril.I can’t sit here and tell you that your family is going to come around. Because not all families do. Most parents of trans kids eventually choose their kid over their preexisting beliefs. But I can't promise you that.
