Speaking on an Instagram live on Wednesday, Reese said her monthly rent is $8,000 – totaling $96,000 for the year – while her WNBA salary was $73,439. “I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. Reese – a rebounding and double-double machine – enjoyed a record-breaking rookie season, which was cut short by a wrist injury at the start of September. Reese told ESPN earlier this year that her WNBA salary is a “bonus” on top of her NIL deals.

And yes, all is OK.”Williams said she missed Rafael Nadal announcing his retirement while she was undergoing surgery. Williams also won 14 grand slam doubles titles with sister Venus and four Olympic gold medals.
