WNBA star Angel Reese has revealed her current basketball salary does not cover her bills and she ‘wouldn’t be able to live’ off her $73,000 paycheck.
Reese has become one of the most recognisable faces of the WNBA in her rookie season, but the 22-year-old’s performances on the court are not enough to get by.
The Chicago Sky’s All-Star has claimed her monthly rent payment is $8,000, meaning that an entire year’s worth of living costs her $96,000 which is significantly more than her entire salary.
“I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” she said during a recent Instagram livestream, via ESPN. “I don’t even think that pays one of my bills.
Her salary] isn’t enough to pay my car note, I wouldn’t even be able to eat, I wouldn’t be able to live,” she added. However, Reese has reiterated that she is incredibly grateful for the situation she finds herself in, and her WNBA money is a ‘bonus’.
Speaking to ESPN in May: “Being able to play for what, four to five months, and get $75,000 on top of the other endorsements that I’m doing, I think it’s a plus for me.” “Being able to make six figures within three months [in Unrivaled], being able to be housed in Miami, just being able to get better…. I think it’s amazing.”
