The WNBA Don’t Pay My Bills at All: Angel Reese Jokes About Cost of Rent Compared to Her Rookie Salary
Angel Reese, a rookie forward for the Chicago Sky, recently discussed her financial situation on Instagram Live. She revealed that her monthly rent is $8,000, which totals $96,000 annually. Her WNBA salary for the year is $73,439, making it clear that her WNBA earnings do not cover her living expenses.
Reese humorously remarked, “Hatin’ pays them bills, baby. I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that doesn’t pay one of my bills.” She also mentioned that her WNBA check doesn’t cover any of her bills, including her car note or even a sandwich.
Reese’s comments highlight the financial challenges many WNBA players face, despite their exceptional skills and contributions to the league. Her rookie season was notable for setting records in offensive rebounds and double-doubles, but her financial struggles remain a significant issue.
