🚨🏀 Big News in Women’s Sports!
Caitlin Clark just rocketed to sixth place on Sportico’s 2025 list of highest-paid female athletes pulling in US $16 million this year.
She’s the only WNBA player in the top 15. And get this, the majority of that money is not from WNBA salary: her on-court pay remains modest (rookie contract salary is just tens of thousands), while her skyrocketing earnings come from endorsements, sponsorships and outside deals.
⭐ What this means:
Caitlin Clark isn’t just playing basketball she’s reshaping what “star power” in women’s sports can look like.
The WNBA’s future might just depend on players like her who draw fans, sponsorships and media attention.
For young athletes everywhere talent + hustle + brand = more than just a salary.
What do YOU think: Is the rise of stars like Caitlin giving women’s sports their real break?
