Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Angel Reese has grown tired of the public's misconceptions about her.
Among some of the many viral online discussions surrounding the former LSU star forward, nicknamed the " Bayou Barbie ," is that she is living above her means in Chicago after she joked about the price of her rent when compared to the starting salary she earned during her first season on the Chicago Sky WNBA team. Critics offered financial advice to Reese after her comments, including "It Is What It Is" co-host Cam'ron, the legendary rapper and founding member of popular rap group Dipset. But Reese wasn't serious.
She said her rent was "above her means" in a joking tone because she's been a millionaire since she was a student-athlete at LSU. In Amazon Prime's "The Money Game" series, Reese made an estimated $7 million in NIL deals alone. Reese also has a Reebok shoe deal, a partnership with CashApp and a collaboration with Reese's Puffs cereal.
She also hosts her "Unapologetically Angel" podcast, which gained more than 100,000 subscribers on YouTube in three months. How much is Angel Reese's net worth The topic of Reese's finances came up again recently at ComplexCon when journalist Speedy Morman asked the WNBA All-Star if her net worth of $2 million, estimated by Parade, was accurate. "That's not right," Reese said before Morman could finish his sentence.
"It's inaccurate?" Morman asked Reese. "Yeah," Reese said. "Is it way off? Is it close?" Morman followed up.
"Way off," Reese said. Morman then asked what it's like to be able to afford a lifestyle where she can take care of herself and people around her. "It's not just a luxury for me, it's a luxury for everybody around me," Reese said.
"I'm able to soon retire my mom, I can pay off my mortgage, [in] my family, everybody's taken care of. I brought my friends here. Two of my friends are here, I bring them on [private jets] whenever.
"They love this. They meet Beyoncé, they're going to meet Jay-Z, all my friends eat. One thing about me is I have a really good circle around me, and I think that's really important.
Putting on everyone around me." Reese said one of her friends helps manage her, another one is her stylist and another one is her physical therapist. Angel Reese on retiring her mom and if her net worth is accurate🫶 pic.
