Angel Reese, a prominent player for the Chicago Sky, recently addressed speculation about her financial status, refuting claims that her net worth stands at $2 million. During an appearance at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, Reese made clear that the estimated figure is «way off.» «Is it inaccurate?» queried Speedy Morman, host of «360 with Speedy.» Reese responded affirmatively, emphasizing the inaccuracy without divulging specific numbers.

Reese highlighted some of her financial achievements, noting that her success has allowed her to consider retirement options for her mother and pay off her mortgage. She emphasized the importance of a strong support system, saying, «I have a really good circle around me, and I think that’s really important.»

During an October discussion, Reese elaborated on her financial situation, indicating that her income is not dependent on her WNBA salary. She noted, «The WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think it pays one of my bills, literally,» highlighting that her rookie season earnings with the Chicago Sky were approximately $73,439 according to Spotrac.

Beyond her salary, Reese has secured several lucrative name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, elevating her to one of the highest-earning NIL athletes in the United States. These partnerships include a merchandise collection with Hershey’s, known as «Reese’s Pieces,» and a shoe deal with Reebok. Additionally, she has ventured into podcasting with her «Unapologetically Angel» series.

Reese has also committed to participating in the upcoming Unrivaled 3-on-3 basketball league, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. This new league is poised to offer athletes the highest average salaries in the history of women’s professional sports leagues. The league will officially launch in January, aiming to draw attention and elevate the status of women’s professional basketball.

Chantz Martin, a sports writer for Fox News Digital, reports on these developments, highlighting the ongoing progress of women in sports and Reese’s influential role within that narrative.
