Millionaire Caitlin Clark complains about her salary after leading Indiana Fever to WNBA victory over Seattle Storm

Caitlin Clark appears to have filed a thinly veiled complaint about her salary with the Indiana Fever after leading her team to another WNBA victory on Sunday.

The Fever defeated the Seattle Storm 92-75 on Sunday, with Clark scoring 23 points. It was her team’s second straight victory after returning from the Olympic-enforced midseason break.

Clark spoke after the game with her teammate Lexie Hull, who scored 22 points in a great game, and was asked if she would buy season tickets for her family in the future.

Clark interrupted: “They’re pretty expensive. Our salaries… it’s like our whole salary to get those. I’m not kidding. We need people to help.”

Hull added: “I might have to (buy tickets). We’ll get people working on that. We’ll definitely get someone working on it.”

Clark is earning a base salary of $76,000 in her rookie WNBA season, but also has an eight-year deal with Nike worth $28 million. She currently has an estimated net worth of around $3 million.

Hull, who signed a three-year, $217,000 contract with the Fever, is earning $77,000 this season — just slightly more than Clark.

Season ticket costs for the Fever started at around $1,600 for the team, but given the success Clark has had in her rookie year, the cost is only going to increase.

The 22-year-old has helped spark interest in the WNBA after being drafted first overall by the New York Fever earlier this year.

Her opening contract with Fever lasts four years and is worth a total of $338,056.

Clark’s salary increases to $78,066 in year two, before climbing further to $85,873 in year three. If her option is exercised in year four, Clark will earn $97,582.

She’s also poised to make millions on the court. Clark signed an eight-year, $28 million Nike shoe contract in April before playing her first WNBA game.

Clark’s base salary is limited by the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement, which was negotiated in 2020, before she began playing college basketball at Iowa.

Clark and her Fever team have won both games since returning to WNBA action

The current CBA runs until 2027, but there is an option to end it earlier. Perhaps that will happen if Clark continues to bring such monstrous ratings to the WNBA.

Last month, the WNBA inked a $2.2 billion television deal for 11 seasons, while Clark continues to sell out Fever games in NBA arenas.

The Fever are currently 13-15 and in seventh place, with the top eight advancing to the post-season playoffs.

On Saturday they play against the Minnesota Lynx.
