Endorsements, appearances and licensing brought Angel Reese an estimated $9 million in 2025, helping put her at No. 15 among the world’s highest-paid female athletes. Forbes estimated her total earnings at $9.4 million, with about $400,000 coming from basketball.
Her WNBA salary was a smaller piece of that basketball income: $74,909 in 2025, following a $73,439 rookie salary in 2024. Under the 2026 labor deal, her salary with the Atlanta Dream rose to $350,692.
Reese had already explained how she viewed her league paycheck. In October 2024, she said on Instagram Live: “The WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think it pays one of my bills. Literally.” She’d also called that check “a bonus.”
Reebok signed Reese in October 2023, while she was still at LSU. She explained the choice: “I wanted to be a priority ’cause I could have signed easily with Nike. I could easily sign with Jordan,” adding, “But everybody’s doing that.”
Her $120 signature shoe, the Angel Reese 1, launched on Sept. 18, 2025, and all 3 colorways sold out. A Reese’s Pieces version went on sale on Oct. 20, 2026, during the WNBA Finals. “We designed this colorway especially for my fans,” Reese said.
The partnerships extend well beyond sneakers. McDonald’s introduced the Angel Reese Special in February 2025, calling it its first national signature meal with a female athlete.
Reese called the partnership “an easy yes.” Her sponsor roster also includes Amazon, Victoria’s Secret, Beats by Dre, Hershey’s, 2K, General Mills, Panini, Coty and LVMH.
Reese said an earlier agency had told her she was “never going to make over $2,000.” She left for marketing agent Jeanine Ogbonnaya. Describing what they’d built together, Reese said: “we’ve made millions of dollars, just us two.”
