Despite Angel Reese being a major factor in the WNBA’s surge in popularity this year, the Chicago Sky star said that her rookie salary doesn’t cover her rent.
Despite Angel Reese being one of the major factors in the WNBA’s surge in popularity this season, alongside rival Caitlin Clark, the Chicago Sky star said that her rookie salary doesn’t cover her rent. Speaking on an Instagram live on Wednesday, Reese said her monthly rent is $8,000 – totaling $96,000 for the year – while her WNBA salary was $73,439. “Hatin’ pays them bills baby,” she joked. “I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. “Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick. I don’t even know my salary … 74 (thousand)?” she asked somebody off camera. “I’m living beyond my means like y’all think,” she laughed after her friend did the calculations. Reese – a rebounding and double-double machine – enjoyed a record-breaking rookie season, which was cut short by a wrist injury at the start of September.
