Meager $77,669 WNBA Salary Doesn’t Stop Lexie Hull From Achieving Her Dream With BF, Who Left MLB

Lexie Hull had an outstanding season with the Indiana Fever, finishing with her highest PPG. Her improvement played a key role in the Fever’s first playoff run in eight years, led by Caitlin Clark, and she also formed a close friendship with Indiana’s #22. While her WNBA salary is similar to what rookies like Clark and Angel Reese (who admitted she wasn’t able to pay her bills with her salary) earn, Hull’s personal life is flourishing, as she and her boyfriend, Will Matthiessen, recently achieved a milestone that many dream of conquering together.

An Instagram post captured a special moment between Lexie Hull and her boyfriend. The post, shared probably by the broker who helped them, revealed that the couple had just purchased their first home together. In the photo, the couple is seen standing alongside their broker, with Hull holding a “sold” sign, signaling the successful completion of the deal for their first house.

The post was captioned, “🌟Closing Day🌟I’m SO excited for my clients!! @lexiehulll and @willmatthiessen are just the best couple! I absolutely loved helping them buy their first home together. It was such an honor (and so much fun) being on this journey with y’all!! Thank you both for trusting me throughout this process. I wish you the happiest memories in your gorgeous new home! 🏠🎉🍾 Helrod Realty✨.”

Well, Lexie Hull achieved her dream of homeownership despite the low salary in the WNBA. Her contract with the Indiana Fever provides her with an annual salary of $77,669, which is slightly higher than what Caitlin Clark earned in her rookie year. Despite this, Hull’s estimated net worth is around $300,000, according to reports from the Irish Star. This highlights how athletes in the league often navigate financial challenges while still managing to reach personal milestones.

Nevertheless, it’s certainly a moment to remember for the couple, who have been together for quite some time.

Lexie Hull and Will Matthiessen: From college romance to homeownership

Lexie Hull’s relationship with Will Matthiessen began during their college days, over four years ago. Matthiessen, once a promising baseball player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, shifted careers after retiring from the sport. He now works as an analyst for Sapient Capital, a wealth management firm. This career change contrasts sharply with his earlier life, where he was a standout player, ranked as the No. 5 overall recruit in Oregon.

After excelling in high school and at Stanford, Matthiessen was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019. He had a solid career, but injuries and strikeouts led him to retire early. He then pursued a career in finance, working as a venture associate and later as an analyst in Indiana, closer to his girlfriend, Lexie Hull. Throughout his career, he balanced his baseball aspirations with a degree in Management Science and Engineering.

Hull has always been open about her love for her boyfriend. On his birthday in January, she shared a heartfelt carousel post featuring the snippets of the couple. She wrote in her post, “Happy Birthday my love. More adventures ahead.” As the year draws to a close, Hull has certainly checked off one major dream from their list—buying their first home together. This milestone feels like another beautiful chapter in their ongoing journey.
