Angel Reese’s journey in the WNBA has been nothing short of inspiring. But let’s be real—being a star on the court doesn’t always mean big paychecks off it. She’s been open about the financial reality of playing in the league, even joking on Instagram Live, “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.” With a salary of $73,439, she’s had to get creative with her income. But that hasn’t stopped her from making major moves.
On a recent episode of Unapologetically Angel, she dropped some big news. Instead of just getting by, she’s securing her future. “When I move to Chicago this year actually I’m getting a house y’all and you can come stay with me whenever your want to,” she shared.
And if that wasn’t enough, she made an even bigger move—one that brought her mother to tears. On her mom’s birthday, Reese surprised her with a life-changing announcement: “Your mortgage today has been paid… you ain’t worrying about your mortgage no more.”
That’s what building generational wealth looks like. While WNBA salaries still have a long way to go, Reese has smartly leveraged her brand, landing deals with Reebok, Goldman Sachs, and Airbnb. Now, she’s using that success to take care of the people who raised her. And honestly? This is just the beginning.
