22-Year-Old Female Tennis Star Earns Millions More Than Victor Wembanyama and 506 Other NBA Stars in 2023

In every sport, skill is rewarded with fame and fortune. In the case of the NBA, that has also been true. However, due to many advertisements and endorsements, many players end up making more than their actual skill level. For instance, before even entering the league many players become millionaires due to the hype surrounding them and the media does its part in generating the hype. Victor Wembanayama was touted as the best prospect since  LeBron James even before he entered the league.

Due to this, he was drafted no 1 in the 2023 draft by the San Antonio Spurs. This also resulted in a high salary even as a rookie. However, recently a social media post revealed that a 22-year-old tennis star earns enough to leave Wemby and 500 other NBA stars in the dust.
