Angel Reese is making more money outside of the WNBA than she is playing professional basketball.
Last month, Reese made some big business moves when she announced she was starting her own podcast and partnered with Reese’s Pieces with a marketing deal.
This week, Reese was spotted at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show hanging out with other celebrities.

While livestreaming after the show, Reese revealed that she wouldn’t be able to afford her rent if she relied on her WNBA salary.
“Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA doesn’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. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my [WNBA] salary.”
“I’m living beyond my means. My rent is more than that, it’s $8,000.”
Angel Reese reveals that she pays $8,000 a month for rent, totaling $96,000 a year.

Here’s how fans reacted to Reese’s comments.
“8k for rent sounds like a you problem respectfully lol” commented one fan.
‘8k rent on 74k a year salary is so wild to me” said another fan.
Reese would probably do alright for herself if she decided to retire from playing basketball tomorrow.
