If you thought Angel Reese was living the modest life of a WNBA rookie, think again. The Chicago Sky forward didn’t just shut down a $2 million net worth estimate—she buried it six feet under and danced on the grave. In a recent interview at ComplexCon, Reese left jaws on the floor with a two-word mic drop that has the sports world buzzing: “Way off.”
Let’s rewind. Reese, a breakout star both on and off the court, has been raking in more than rebounds since turning pro. Between her dominant play in the WNBA and a portfolio of high-octane endorsement deals, the 22-year-old has proven that “marketable athlete” is no longer a title reserved for male superstars. Reese’s partnerships read like a corporate who’s-who: Reebok, Beats by Dre, and Reese’s candy (because the synergy was just too good to pass up). And let’s not forget her face plastered on a cereal box—an aisle-stopping revelation that reportedly left her screaming in a supermarket. Dramatic? Maybe. On-brand? Absolutely.
So when host Speedy Morman floated a $2 million net worth figure during the interview, Reese didn’t mince words. She dismissed it faster than a defender trying to block her shot. “Yeah,” she replied, adding that the number was “way off.” How far off? Well, Reese wasn’t about to spill all the tea, but her confidence hinted at a bank balance that could make seasoned CEOs blush.
Money Talks, But Reese Walks the Walk
What’s refreshing about Reese isn’t just her growing financial empire—it’s how she’s using it. While many athletes flex private jets and flashy cars on social media, Reese is busy paying off her mom’s mortgage and uplifting her family and friends. “Everybody’s taken care of,” she shared, casually redefining what it means to win in life.
And she’s just getting started. With only one professional season under her belt, Reese has barely scratched the surface of her earning potential. If she’s already dismantling outdated notions of WNBA wealth now, imagine where she’ll be in five years. (Hint: Probably sitting courtside at her own games, sipping something fancy, and making it all look effortless.)
The Sarcastic Truth About Athlete Net Worths
Here’s the thing about celebrity net worth estimates—they’re often about as accurate as a weather forecast in Chicago. Reese’s case is a perfect example. Sure, $2 million sounds impressive, but for someone dominating the hardwood and the marketing world like she is? It’s pocket change. Reese isn’t just rich in dollars; she’s rich in influence, opportunity, and swagger. And let’s face it: Those are the real currencies in today’s game.
The Sky’s the Limit
Angel Reese has made one thing crystal clear: She’s not here to fit into anyone’s preconceived financial boxes. She’s rewriting the playbook, one endorsement deal and one killer soundbite at a time. And while the exact figure of her fortune remains a mystery, one thing isn’t—Reese is here to stay, and she’s bringing everyone she loves along for the ride.
For now, fans can only speculate just how “way off” that $2 million estimate is. But knowing Reese, she’ll probably let us know with another headline-grabbing moment. Stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
