Social Media Had All Sorts Of Things To Say About LSU’s Angel Reese Bringing In More Money Than The Highest Paid WNBA Player (TWEETS)

It is shocking to see Angel Reese speak about her pay in comparison to that of the WNBA players, but her latest comments weren’t exactly wrong.

Reese opened up about her future of joining the WNBA, but she made it clear that she was not in a rush because she was already making more money than the players in the league.

“I’m chilling right now. I am in no rush to go to the league. The money I’m making is more than some of the people that are in the league that might be top players,” Reese continued.

The NCAA champion currently has the most NIL deals in the history of NIL. She has signed NIL deals with 17 brands of which some are Raising Cane’s, McDonald’s, Amazon, Bose, Xfinity, Outback Steakhouse, Wingstop, and more. On3.com has her ranked 3rd in college women’s basketball NIL ranking. Only Haley Cavinder and Hanna Cavinder are ahead of Reese with values of $930,000, and $924,000, respectively.

Recently, her NIL value jumped from $485,000 to $876,000 after winning the NCAA title.

Jackie Young, who plays for the Las Vegas Aces, and recently won the WNBA title is set to make $252,000 this season. She is currently the highest-paid player in the league.

Except Angel Reese is literally making more money than WNBA salary? Not the same thing.

If you listen to the podcast, she wasn't flexing. She was asked a question about her career trajectory, and she answered honestly.

Angel Reese makes more money through her NIL earnings than the top WNBA player does, how should we handle the transition for female athletes from NCAA to professional teams in regards to pay grade? #sdsujms416

Angel Reese makes more money than 67% of the @WNBA

— Algorithm Sailor (@Mrk_ur_Path) April 9, 2023

The college NIL rule is out of whack. Top college players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese each make more than $800,000. The average WNBA pro makes a little more than $100,000. When I was in college I was happy when a fan bought me a beer.

Angel Reese not getting more flak cause her pockets deeper than most WNBA players shows y’all be fake outraged.

— petty? (@_kingluke96) April 9, 2023

Y’all keep saying it’s ego, but if Angel Reese really had an ego then she would have said that she makes more money then the highest paid player in the WNBA, but she didn’t, even tho that’s the truth. https://t.co/BfasqdcDen

Reese is 2 years shy of becoming eligible for the WNBA Draft. NIL deals are showing the effects of making young players stay in college for longer than they initially would’ve planned.

The low pay in the WNBA is the reason why so many ladies take their talents overseas in the offseason to make much more.

Before she got arrested and sentenced, Brittney Griner, who had played in Russia for the past seven seasons, earned over $1 million per season while playing for UMKC Ekaterinburg. We suspect she won’t be going back.
