This figure places her outside the top 20 highest-paid players, where Kelsey Mitchell leads at $249,244, followed by Arike Ogunbowale and Jewell Loyd at $249,032 each.
Additionally, not just this year, the veteran center has a total career earnings of $1,031,642, according to Spotrac. Her resume began with a rookie salary of $58,045 in 2018, escalating through extensions in 2022 ($398,422 over two years) and 2023, following her championship win.
Beyond her base salary, her net worth, along with lucrative endorsements and her recent signature shoe deal with Nike, makes her bag even heavier compared to some of the recent stars.

Whatever she touches turns gold, just like Wilson’s game-worn jersey was all over the MeiGray Auction.
Wilson’s net worth is estimated at $4 million by Celebrity Net Worth. Interestingly, the figure is quite a bit more than her WNBA salary.
Endorsements with Gatorade, Ruffles, Mountain Dew, and a multi-million-dollar Nike deal significantly boost her income.
Additionally, her debut signature shoe, the Nike A’One, released in 2025, adds to this revenue stream, with sales potential mirroring the sell-out success of Angel Reese’s Reebok AR1.
