Angel Reese is on the path to success. The college basketball star is up $1.6 million in NIL valuation and has her sights set on the WNBA. In a recent cover story for Teen Vogue, Angel spoke candidly about her career trajectory as a rising pro basketball player. She expressed her understanding of the fact that WNBA players don't make as much money as their male counterparts and her intention to use her current status to help her prepare for the future.
Angel's popularity skyrocketed after the 2023 NCAA College Baseball National Champions. During the tournament, she went viral after making a famous hand gesture in the face of Iowa's Caitlin Clark. Since then, she has secured a plethora of endorsement deals with the likes of Coach, Amazon, Mercedes Benz, and Mielle Organics. With her $1.6 million valuation, the college junior is financially ahead of her future in the WNBA.
When it comes to the products and services she puts her name behind, Angel is very intentional. She wants to make sure that the money she earns is good money. Her newfound celebrity status has landed her appearances at the ESPYs, Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition, and Latto and Cardi B's "Put It On The Floor" music video. As a result, she is now opting for online classes to avoid the fanfare awaiting her on campus.
Angel doesn't feel like a celebrity, but acknowledges the impact she has had on women's basketball, sports in general, and Black women. She laughs when thinking about how her posts are now featured on Shade Room. Her story is an inspiration for all aspiring female athletes, and it's clear that Angel Reese is destined for greatness.
