How A’ja Wilson has gone from $52k WNBA salary to over $6.4 million

Star basketball player A'ja Wilson has experienced a remarkable financial transformation since beginning her professional career. When she entered the league back in 2018 on a rookie deal worth $52,000, she relied on grueling overseas winter stints in China and commercial flights to get by.

Today, her lucrative endorsement deals with major corporate partners like Chase, Nike, and AT&T bring in roughly $5 million annually. Combined with her $1.4 million team salary, her overall yearly earnings now exceed $6.4 million.

This massive monetary growth parallels a general surge in popularity across the sport alongside her extraordinary athletic achievements, which include multiple championships and regular-season Most Valuable Player awards.
