Caitlin Clark’s SHOCKING $100,000 fee for virtual speaking has sent internet into frenzy

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark receives a paltry $78,000 as salary from the WNBA

Caitlin Clark will be paid $78,000 in her second season in the WNBA. But the Indiana Fever star earned much more through NIL deals in college and is earning multiples of that amount now through endorsements. Due to her fame, she has also found another method of earning some money.

Caitlin Clark plays four months of professional basketball where she undergoes tremendous physical exertion. She has to train her body and practice multiple times to ensure she plays at her best. Add to that the multiple bumps and bruises she endured in her debut season. After all that, the Fever handed her a check for just $76,535.

In the new method, she earns $100,000, or roughly 35% more, by just speaking. As was revealed by Don A. Steinbrugge, a CFA, who wanted to hire her services for an event. This revelation sent the internet into a frenzy, not just because of the amount, but what she had to do to earn it.

To participate in this event, she did not have to incur travel expenses or pay extensive amounts of money to makeup artists or designers for what she would wear. All she paid for, was the use of the internet while she spoke. Yes, all she had to do was speak via video conference, that too, for just 30 minutes of her time.

During this offseason, she has appeared to speak at a few events. Keen-eyed enthusiasts have managed to locate her speaking on four different occasions. If the CFA’s claims are true, then the Indiana Fever star has already pocketed $400,000. That covers her entire four-year WNBA rookie salary. With no basketball until next May, this turns out to be a fantastic opportunity for her.

Caitlin Clark’s teammates could pull her to Unrivaled League

Caitlin Clark stated during her exit interview that she will not play basketball until the next WNBA season. But with the emergence of the Unrivaled League, her name has constantly been in the reckoning. However, there has been no indication from her camp that she is willing to play.

Rumors suggested that the new League offered a large, incentive-laden package to lure the Fever star. But their recent moves came as the most surprising part of their efforts to get Clark. After initially suggesting that the league would be limited to 30 players initially, co-founder Napheesa Collier announced that they are expanding to 36 players.

Right around the time of the announcement, they announced Clark’s best friend Kate Martin as one of their players. Another aspect basketball fans noticed until the announcement of Martin was that the league had not signed any Indiana Fever players.

But that changed within two days when they announced Lexie Hull and Aliyah Boston. With three of Clark’s best mates now on the league’s roster, fans are receiving more proof that Unrivaled League are going all in for the most marketable superstar in women’s basketball.
