Caitlin Clark’s estimated net worth after her rookie season

WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark broke multiple records in her rookie season and is spearheading the change within the women's game. She is a sporting sensation who just seems to keep getting better.

Clark led the Indiana Fever to the WNBA Playoffs for the first time since 2016 and secured the WNBA Rookie of the Year award over her rival Angel Reese.

The WNBA star has helped multiple teams reach a record attendance and sent jersey sales through the roof in her home arena. The money she has made for the league is astronomic, but how much has she made for herself?

The first thing to look at is her WNBA contract with the Indiana Fever. Clark signed a four-year $338,056 (£258,555/€308,814) deal after being drafted number one in the 2024 WNBA Draft, making $76,535 (£58,533/€69,914) in her opening year in the league, Deadline reports.

Clark's WNBA salary breakdown is as follows: 2024 - $76,535 (£58,533/€69,914), 2025 - $78,066 (£59,704/€71,309), 2026 - $85,873 (£65,677/€78,443), 2027 - $97,582 (£74,632/€89,139). In comparison to other athletes, it may seem like nothing. However, Clark makes most of her money through endorsement deals.

Through her role as the face of the WNBA and the heavy media attention she receives, Clark has become a famous athlete with some of the most giant corporations in America.

According to USA Today, Gatorade, State Farm, Bose, Buick, Hy-Vee, H&R Block, Topps, Shoot-A-Way, and Goldman Sachs have all added Clark to their endorsement roster.

Clark signed a multi-year deal with Wilson Sporting Goods, making her the first athlete since Michael Jordan to have a signature basketball collection with the company.
