Reese earned $73,439 as a rookie for the Sky, but that contract is set to more than double to $148,348 this year.
Speaking on Instagram previously, Reese said: “Hating pays my bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that pays one of my bills.
“Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. I’m gonna do the math real quick. I don’t even know my salary.
“Yo, I’m living beyond my means! No, my rent is more than that. It’s $8,000. I’m living beyond my means.”
Reese’s explosive first season saw her ranked as the runner-up in the Rookie of the Year award behind Caitlin Clark, while she led the league in rebounds per game.
Ironically, Reese will begin her second WNBA season against Clark’s Indiana Fever in May.
On her rivalry with Clark, Reese had insisted: “It’s not personal. I think people just take it like we hate each other. Me and Caitlin Clark don’t hate each other. I want everybody to understand that.”
