Clark’s estimated net worth sits around 10 million dollars. Unlike athletes in the men’s league, the bulk of her income doesn’t come from her WNBA contract. Her base salary for the current season is only 78,066 dollars, part of the four-year deal worth 338,056 dollars that she signed with the Fever. The contract increases gradually, giving her 76,535 dollars in her rookie season, rising to 85,873 dollars in 2026 and 97,582 dollars in 2027.
These numbers highlight a reality Clark herself is helping bring attention to: WNBA players, despite their impact, don’t earn anything close to the salaries seen in the NBA. Still, Clark’s influence extends far beyond the court, and that’s where her financial power truly shows.
Endorsements That Elevate Her Wealth
Clark is one of the most marketable athletes of her generation, and brands have taken notice. Her endorsements are valued at about 11 million dollars, making her one of the highest-earning women in sports. In April 2024, she secured a historic eight-year partnership with Nike averaging around 3 million dollars per year.
Along with Nike, she has landed deals with some of the biggest companies in sports and lifestyle, including Gatorade, State Farm, Wilson, Hy-Vee, Xfinity, Gainbridge, Lilly and Panini. These partnerships have turned her into a household name and established her as a major force in athlete marketing.
A Future Icon in the Making
Caitlin Clark is still at the very beginning of her professional career, yet she has already reshaped the business landscape around women’s basketball. With her growing popularity, breakthrough performances and expanding endorsement portfolio, her net worth is expected to rise quickly in the coming years. More importantly, she’s becoming a catalyst for broader conversations about compensation and investment in women’s sports.
