Angel Reese reveals $8K rent as she laughs over WNBA salary: ‘Hatin’ pays them bills’

Angel Reese got real about her finances and joked she’s “living beyond my means.”

In a recent Instagram Live video, the Chicago Sky forward said her WNBA salary doesn’t cover her rent, which is $8,000 per month.

Reese, a Maryland native, has an apartment in Chicago. It’s unclear if she has other residence(s).

“Hatin’ pays them bills 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢. I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all. I don’t even think that doesn’t pays one of my bills,” Reese said.

“Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick… I don’t even know my salary — 74 [thousand]?” she asked someone off to the side who was not in the video.
