With her final 446 rebounds, Reese broke the single-season record of 404 set by Sylvia Fowles. This record was eventually eclipsed by MVP A’Ja Wilson and the record for rebounds per game.
Angel Reese attributes her financial stability to her fame
The Chicago Sky have signed Angel Reese to a 4-year, $324,383 deal, which includes an average salary of $81,096 each year.

The ‘Unapologetically’ podcast, which she recently started, has received great reviews in its first few weeks of operation. Resse’s career in entertainment is just getting started, but given her level and charisma this season, she may anticipate continued fame. She also discusses her present and next business endeavors in this video.
