Caitlin Clark’s net worth is about to explode when she signs an 8-figure deal with Nike that includes her own signature sneaker.
The deal will make the Indiana Fever’s No. 1 overall draft pick very wealthy, despite her $338,000 WNBA salary. She will earn just $76,000 in her rookie season with the Fever.
The Athletic‘s Shams Charania reports that Clark’s deal with Nike is worth over $20+ million.
The deal will inflate her net worth far above her WNBA salary.
Clark, 22, is considered the best women’s basketball player in history. She is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball.
More people watched the 2024 WNBA Draft than the WNBA Finals. Clark is a big reason for the boost in WNBA pre-ticket sales this season.
Dick’s Sporting Goods will sell Clark’s jerseys in all 724 stores throughout the U.S.
Clark’s closest competitor, Sabrina Ionescu, 26, signed a $24 million shoe deal with Nike in 2020. 77 NBA players wore Ionescu’s Nike sneakers in games this season.
Clark’s NIL valuation is $3.5 million in 2024. She ranks fourth behind Bronny James, Shedeur Sanders, and Livvy Dunne, according to On3 NIL.
