Former LSU star and current player for the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese, has quickly emerged as one of the biggest names in the WNBA. While she is only in her second season in the league, she is already one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball. She is known for being outspoken about her play on the court and what she believes she and other players in the WNBA deserve in terms of pay.
While Reese is a popular player, she also receives more criticism than most other stars in the league. As a result, if she says something people disagree with or makes a mistake, people are more likely to make fun of her online. As a result, a meme started circulating this week after she reportedly said, “Y’all make $1400 a week, I make $1400 in seven days.”

This meme makes fun of the fact that a week and seven days are the same thing. As a result, it is not surprising that if this were something Reese said, people online would make fun of her for it. However, there is no indication that this is something that Reese said. She did not make this comment at any recent press conferences or media availabilities, so it appears that this meme was based on a made-up quote.
How Much Does Angel Reese Make in a Year?
While this meme is made up, the numbers used in it are factual, and as a result, it is not hard to see how this meme was created. According to Spotrac, Reese is in the second year of her four-year rookie contract. Her 2025 cap hit is $74,909. When divided by the 52 weeks in a year, that works out to $1440.55 weekly. So, Reese does make close to $1400 a week.
While Angel Reese did not make the $1400 comment that has been circulating, she has been outspoken when it comes to player pay. Earlier this month, she spoke about WNBA CBA negotiations.

“We are all here to fight for the same thing, and what we deserve,” Angel Reese said. “We’re not going to stop until we get exactly what we want. And yesterday’s meeting really woke me up to the eyes of, we aren’t getting what we deserve. And knowing that for a long time… the numbers they were giving us, I’m like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know all this stuff.”
