The arrival of Caitlin Clark to the WNBA is expected to help the league grow at a rapid pace, and many new fans are just now learning things about the women’s game that they never knew.
The excitement around her being chosen first overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever led to immediate shock due to discussions over her WNBA salary and comparisons to rookies in other men’s sports.
Caitlin Clark will earn $338,056 over four years, according to the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement.
The former Iowa Hawkeye basketball player will make $76,535 in her first year of the contract, $78,066 in her second, $85,873 in her third, and $97,582 in her fourth year in the league in 2027, according to a breakdown of her earnings by year provided by Spotrac.
In a viral video from TikTok, two young boys could be seen in a vehicle being asked by their mother how much they think Clark is making on her rookie deal. The first kid guesses it is around $2 million, while the other says it was $38 million.
She informed them both she would make “about $350,000.”
Both kids were in immediate shock.
“That’s not even $100,000 a year. That’s a rip-off!” added the other.
Caitlin Clark’s Nike Deal More Than Makes Up For Her Low WNBA Salary

Much has been made of Caitlin Clark’s WNBA salary with the Indiana Fever but Nike has her more than covered in that area.
It was reported this week that Nike is nearing an agreement with Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark on an endorsement deal that is expected to be worth eight figures and include a signature shoe for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.
It’s not a bad contract for a woman who has yet to take a single dribble in the WNBA.
