Caitlin Clark stands as a towering figure in college basketball, boasting not only an impressive athletic prowess but also a substantial bank account to match.

Throughout her final season at the University of Iowa, the star guard shattered records left and right. Surpassing all others in college basketball history—both men and women—she now holds the coveted title of the Naismith National Player of the Year for the second consecutive year.

At 22 years old, Clark is currently vying for her ultimate college accolade: a national championship. Tonight, on April 5, she and the Hawkeyes face off against the UConn Huskies, led by their own standout, Paige Bueckers, in the Final Four showdown. Should the Hawkeyes emerge victorious, they will advance to the March Madness final against the winner of the other Final Four matchup, featuring NC State versus South Carolina.

For Clark, this tournament marks her farewell to collegiate competition, a stage that has propelled her to national prominence. In a noteworthy announcement made in February, she revealed her decision to forego her final year of eligibility at the University of Iowa and officially enter the WNBA draft.

With Clark’s unprecedented achievements, speculation abounds regarding her potential earnings post-March Madness. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the college senior’s net worth, encompassing her lucrative name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals, as well as projections for her future WNBA salary.

What is Caitlin Clark’s total net worth in 2024?

Caitlin Clark’s net worth is reported to be $3.2 million, as indicated by On3. This impressive sum primarily stems from a variety of lucrative Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, as college athletes do not receive salaries.

At present, Clark holds the esteemed position of being the fourth-highest-paid college athlete. She follows behind Bronny James, the son of basketball icon LeBron James, Shedeur Sanders from Colorado, and Livvy Dunne representing LSU.

She currently has 11 NIL deals, including ones with Nike, Gatorade, and more.

Caitlin currently boasts an impressive portfolio of 11 Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals with major brands, including Buick, Nike, Gatorade, and State Farm, among others, according to On3. These partnerships yield her thousands of dollars per month, with some agreements having been secured in recent weeks, as reported by the site.

Notably, Caitlin holds the distinction of being State Farm’s inaugural collegiate athlete signee, joining the likes of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes on the brand’s roster of athletes.

In late 2022, when Caitlin announced her partnership with Nike, she expressed her gratitude, stating she was “humbled” to join the esteemed ranks of Nike athletes, a cohort that includes Bronny and fellow women’s college basketball standout JuJu Watkins.

“I grew up watching Nike athletes across all sports play their game,” she said in a release at the time. “They have inspired me to work hard and make a difference.”

Leveraging her affiliation with Nike to benefit her team, Caitlin demonstrated her generosity in January by gifting Nike sneakers to her entire team, a thoughtful gesture that underscored her leadership and camaraderie.

One of her deals includes a hot new t-shirt.

Following Caitlin’s historic achievement of breaking the NCAA record for all-time leading scorer, Nike unveiled a new t-shirt in support of the basketball sensation.

The black cotton shirt features the bold message, “You break it, you own it,” emblazoned in white font on the front, while Caitlin’s name and number are proudly displayed on the back in yellow. Available for purchase at $34.99 on Fanatics.com, the t-shirt has garnered attention with its striking design and powerful statement.

The product description on the online retailer aptly captures Caitlin’s dominating presence on the court, stating, “Nobody on the court is safe when Caitlin Clark starts dropping buckets on their head.” This homage to Caitlin’s record-breaking performance celebrates her unparalleled skill and impact on the game.

Caitlin was reportedly offered $5 million to join the Big3.

On March 27, rapper Ice Cube officially confirmed reports that his Big3 League, known for its three-on-three basketball format, had extended an offer to Caitlin Clark. The news was initially reported by TMZ and subsequently verified by Ice Cube himself.

“We intended the offer to remain private while Caitlin Clark plays for the championship,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “But I won’t deny what’s now already out there: BIG3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn’t we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the BIG3.”

According to TMZ, the reported offer extended to Caitlin by the Big3 League amounts to a staggering $5 million, a sum that would significantly elevate her already impressive net worth. Ice Cube, the founder of the league, emphasized that Caitlin would still have the opportunity to compete in the WNBA if she accepts the offer, presenting it as a viable alternative to playing overseas during the off-season.

“America’s women athletes should not be forced to spend their off seasons playing in often dismal and dubious foreign countries just to make ends meet,” he wrote, seemingly referring to Brittney Griner’s 2022 imprisonment in Russia.

Caitlin could start making $75k a year in the WNBA.

According to USA Today, Caitlin’s anticipated base salary for the WNBA is approximately $76,000, with the potential for additional earnings through incentives such as the WNBA Rookie of the Year award, which carries a bonus of $5,150, and selection to the All-Star game, which offers an additional $2,575, as reported by the same source. ESPN indicates that salaries for lottery draft picks (picks 1 through 4) in the WNBA can reach $97,582 by their fourth season.

Caitlin’s WNBA salary will complement her existing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, which will transition to sponsorships, as noted by Sports Illustrated. With these combined revenue streams, Caitlin is poised to continue generating substantial income.

When the WNBA was contacted about Ice Cube’s Big3 deal, a spokesperson for the league told ESPN, “Caitlin Clark stands to make a half million dollars or more in WNBA earnings this coming season, in addition to what she will receive through endorsements and other partnerships, which has been reported to already exceed $3 million.”
