Angel Reese invested $1.275 million into a luxury mansion in Chicago while earning only $74,000 from her WNBA salary. On Monday, Top Closings, a real estate page on Instagram, reported on the Chicago Sky star's new property.
According to Spotrac, Angel Reese has a $324,383 contract with the Sky and is set to earn a $74,909 salary this season. The Sky sophomore cannot afford the house she bought by depending only on her salary. However, Reese is among the most popular players in WNBA and has some of the most lucrative endorsement deals in the entire league.

Endorsements contribute to a major portion of the Sky star's earnings and are responsible for her big purchasing power. However, a player's popularity and marketability are the real factors that attract a sponsorship or endorsement deal.
Angel Reese has been fortunate in that department as she has over 4.9 million followers on Instagram and also runs a podcast on YouTube with over 141,000 subscribers. According to Top Closings, Reese's new home is located in a picturesque area featuring a lush lawn, three-car garage, spacious backyard deck, a modern, stylish interior and a chef’s kitchen.
