<p>After becoming an <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lsus-angel-reese-defends-taunting-back-iowas-caitlin-clark-in-ncaa-title-win-garners-support/?_gl=1*1aay7a4*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTU5NzM2NjMzOC4xNjgxMzk1OTk1*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MTM5NTk5NC4xLjAuMTY4MTM5NTk5NC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">NCAA champ</a> and having a brief stand-off with Jill Biden&#8217;s White House visit suggestion, <strong>Angel Reese</strong> has been named the highest projected earner in all of women&#8217;s college basketball!</p>
<p>On Tuesday, <a href="https://twitter.com/On3sports/status/1645801902561710085?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">On3 Sports</a> announced that Reese now has a NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) valuation of $1.3 MILLION! As a result, the 20-year-old LSU Tigers athlete is projected to be the highest-earning women&#8217;s college basketball star.</p>
<p>In addition to this million-dollar valuation, Reese—aka the &#8220;Bayou Barbie&#8221;—is also noted to have gained over 2 million social media followers &#8220;since the beginning of March Madness.&#8221;</p>

<p>A quick scroll through Reese&#8217;s Instagram shows that, from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cqnb-ZxO2oR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayou Barbie merch</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqq2sULrWlD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NIL jerseys</a> to a partnership with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cqtvdq4v96m/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Raising Canes</a>, she&#8217;s booked, busy, and doin&#8217; her thang!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Angel Reese Previously Said She&#8217;s Making More Than Some Top WNBA Players</h3>
<p>Speaking of Angel Reese gettin&#8217; to the bag, we should add that she previously claimed that she&#8217;s actually touching more money than some top WNBA athletes!</p>
<p>During a post-championship sit-down on the, <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r_Z8-FgO5A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I Am Athlete</a> </em>podcast, Reese—a college sophomore—declared that she&#8217;s &#8220;in no rush&#8221; to join the WNBA.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not in a rush. I&#8217;m chillin&#8217; right now&#8230;I&#8217;m in no rush to go to the league.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She explained her stance by highlighting,<em> &#8220;The money I&#8217;m making is more than some of the people that are in the league that might be top players.&#8221; </em></p>

<p>While on the subject of her coin, Reese also mentioned some upcoming purchases she has in mind, such as another car and some new digs.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m making a purchase [within] these next two weeks. I&#8217;m getting a new car for sure, and I&#8217;m moving into a new place.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>When asked about what vehicle she had her eye on, she proclaimed that she wants to get her hands on a Mercedes-Benz. IKTR!</p>

<p>Last week, the athlete confirmed she&#8217;ll be visiting the White House with her LSU teammates after initially declining the invite. Jill Biden instigated <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/angel-reese-says-we-not-coming-after-jill-biden-suggested-iowa-hawkeyes-should-join-honorary-white-house-visit/?_gl=1*s9qdfc*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTkzOTI1NzA1Ny4xNjgwODg3OTEz*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MDg4NzkxMi4xLjEuMTY4MDg4OTcyOS4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">the rejected invite</a> after she suggested the runner-up team, Iowa Hawkeyes, should join the LSU Tigers on their honorary visit. President Biden has since made it clear that only the winning women&#8217;s and men&#8217;s NCAA champs will be on the visit.</p>
