WNBA star Angel Reese previously revealed that her basketball wage did not cover her bills.
Reese, 22, is a forward for WNBA side the Chicago Sky and is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the league.
And despite her popularity growing in recent years, she has been outspoken about salaries in womenâs basketball.
In October 2024, she took to social media to explain how her paycheck of $73,000 hardly covered her $8,000 monthly rent which amounts to $96,000 per year.
âI just hope yâall know the WNBA donât pay my bills at all,â Reese said during an Instagram livestream last year, via ESPN.
âI donât even think that pays one of my bills, [the salary] isnât enough to pay my car note, I wouldnât even be able to eat, I wouldnât be able to live,â she added.
âIâm living beyond my means!â joked the WNBA star.
And that was not the first time that she publicly discussed playersâ wages in the WNBA.
But the 22-year-old has also explained how she is grateful for the amount she earns.
âBeing able to play for what, four to five months, and get $75,000 on top of the other endorsements that Iâm doing, I think itâs a plus for me,â she said in May 2024.
âBeing able to make six figures within three months [in Unrivaled], being able to be housed in Miami, just being able to get better âŚ. I think itâs amazing.â
Unrivaled is a 3-on-3 basketball league which features 36 WNBA players and offers the highest salaries in womenâs sports history â with the average salary reportedly worth around $220,000 â close to the WNBAâs maximum base salary â according to AP.
While MARCA reports that the 36 players are paid at least $100,000 â and are also offered equity in the organisation.
However, the aforementioned figures are still a far cry away from the wages received by NBA stars, with Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry reportedly having earned $51.9m during the 2023/24 season.
In comparison, the highest-paid WNBA star was the Las Vegas Aces player Jackie Young who reportedly earns around $252,000 per year on her current contract.

SILENCE AT THE ED SULLIVAN THEATERâAND A THOUSAND THEORIES BY DAWN. For the first time in ages, The Late Show goes dark with no onâair drumroll, and the questions write themselves.

The audience can smell when somethingâs off, and this week feels like a chess move, not a calendar break. If Colbert is staying, why the hush? If heâs not, why the cliffhanger? One empty week has become the loudest story in lateânight, and what happens next could redraw the map for every show that follows. Buckle upâthe quiet week might be the plot twist.

In the control room: headset chatter, a hard cut, and a scramble to fill the gap. Online, the forensic rewinds began instantly: Which question crossed the line? What was said offâcamera just before the turn? And what does a silent exit communicate that a speech never could? This wasnât drama for dramaâs sakeâit felt like a boundary drawn in permanent ink.
