Clark's salary is reportedly around $76,000, according to CNBC. Many have pointed out the difference between her pay and that of the biggest stars in LeBron James - who is believed to have an annual salary of $50,677,999.

Some would argue that as a rookie in a developing league, this is a fair salary, but based on Angel Reese's recent comments - the stars may need to start being paid more.
