Set to Earn Around $73,000 From WNBA Contract, Angel Reese Celebrates Her $183,000 Dream Car

The unapologetic hooper from Baton Rouge is making the most of her time while the upcoming WNBA season has yet to kick off for her debut. Angel Reese has switched up her celebratory vibes ever since she was drafted by the Chicago squad.

While the grinding is in play, the All-American is in a mood to embrace this milestone with a grand gesture for herself. Since she carried LSU to its first-ever national championship, Angel Reese has made a significant impact both on and off the court.

Angel Reese flaunts her new companion

Last week, the WNBA team Chicago Sky selected former LSU forward, Angel Reese as the 7th overall draft pick. Now, Reese can’t get enough of this good feeling and has rewarded herself with a cool new ride. Topping off her celebration, she recently unveiled her AMG G-Class SUV, which has a starting price of $183,000.

Reportedly, the SUV has a luxurious interior covered in Nappa leather in red with black rims. She even posted a TikTok with her little furry friend sitting on the passenger seat. According to Reese’s rookie contract, she will be earning around $73,000 as an annual salary. However, let’s not forget she has an NIL value of $1.8 million, which most likely will go north only.

In the last two seasons, Angel Reese has been one of the major faces of the NIL era, with many speculating that her off-court bling might hover over her on-court capabilities as an athlete. After winning the 2022–23 NCAA championship, Angel Reese had NIL deals in double digits with major brands like PlayStation, McDonald’s, Coach, Wingstop, Outback Steakhouse, and Amazon.

Adding to the list are other brands, namely Sports Illustrated, for which she modeled in their summer swimsuit collection, Calvin Klein, Reebok, ZOA Energy, Starry, Mielle Organics, Beats by Dre, Airbnb, Tampax and JanSport.

Angel Reese’s jersey creates buzz even before her WNBA debut

Angel Reese has been balancing the wealth obtained from her endorsements as a means to give back to the community. She aims to foster equity for girls and underrepresented groups by providing equal opportunities for all girls in sports, education, and financial literacy.

It has been days since the rookies of this year’s WNBA draft were selected one by one and unveiled their jerseys on the stage. While Chicago Sky has released its new Rebel jersey before the season takes off next month, Angel Reese has hit a fresh milestone with her Chicago Sky jersey being already sold out before her WNBA debut. After getting drafted by the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese shared a heartfelt message for her fans, saying, “I hope you guys are still fans of me in the WNBA. I’m now a part of the Chicago Sky.” 

The sold-out status of Reese’s jersey is indeed a clear indicator that her fans have followed through with her transition from LSU to the WNBA.
