How an WNBA star turned to OnlyFans and made more than she ever did playing ball
Her bold move highlights the pay gap in women’s sports
If there’s one thing the WNBA conversation has taught us, it’s that player salaries-or the lack thereof-are a hot topic. From athletes playing overseas just to make ends meet to Angel Reese’s rent struggles, the pay gap in women’s sports is hard to ignore. But Liz Cambage, the former WNBA All-Star, has rewritten the playbook with a bold move that’s turning heads and stacking her bank account.
Let’s rewind for a second. Cambage, known for her dominance on the court and a big personality to match, played her last WNBA season in 2022. That year, she signed a one-year deal worth $170,000. Respectable? Sure. Life-changing? Not quite. Even in her best season, her salary maxed out at $221,450-not exactly enough to retire on.
Fast forward to now, and Cambage is making headlines for a completely different reason. She joined OnlyFans, and let’s just say it’s been lucrative. We’re talking $1.5 million a year lucrative. For context, that’s more than six times what she made during her highest-paid WNBA season.
So, how did she make the leap from basketball courts to content creation? According to Cambage, it wasn’t just about the money (although, let’s be real, it’s a big perk). “Basketball was a part of me, but it wasn’t all of me,” she said. OnlyFans gave her a platform to express other sides of herself-sides fans didn’t see during her time in the league.
A wake-up call for Women’s Sports
The WNBA’s salary cap has been a sticking point for years, with the highest-paid players barely breaking $234,000 annually. Compare that to overseas leagues where players like Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi have earned millions, and it’s easy to see why Cambage sought a different path.
What’s surprising is how much support she’s received. Fans are applauding her decision to take control of her narrative and finances, showing that there’s more than one way to succeed as a professional athlete. Whether it’s on the court or behind a camera, Cambage is proving that being bold pays off-literally.

This isn’t just about Liz Cambage; it’s a wake-up call for women’s sports. Why should a player with her talent and accolades need to look elsewhere for financial stability? While Cambage has found her lane, her story underscores a bigger issue: the need for better pay and opportunities in women’s basketball.
For now, though, Cambage is winning her way-on her terms. With $1.5 million rolling in, it’s safe to say she’s not just breaking the mold; she’s shattering it.
