Chicago Sky star Angel Reese has found herself at the center of a social media storm following a viral meme falsely attributing a quote to her: “Y’all make $1400 a week, I make $1400 in 7 days.”
The fabricated statement, which spread rapidly across platforms like X and Facebook, has sparked both humor and controversy, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the WNBA’s ongoing salary discussions.
The meme, rooted in Reese’s 2025 WNBA salary of $74,909, roughly $1,440 per week when averaged over a year, reflects ongoing discussions about WNBA player compensation.
While some fans found the quote amusing, others criticized it as tone-deaf, though many quickly noted its satirical nature. “This has GOT to be satire,” one user commented on Lipstick Alley, echoing sentiments that the quote was not authentic.
Reese, a vocal advocate for better WNBA pay, has previously addressed her financial situation, joking that her rookie salary didn’t cover her $8,000 monthly rent.
Her endorsement deals with brands like Reebok, McDonald’s, and Beats by Dre, however, have bolstered her estimated net worth to between $1.5 million and $2 million, allowing her to live comfortably and support her family.
