One of her main motives since entering the league two years ago has been to build a strong off-court image and generate wealth. She has dove headfirst into sports and fashion, and has even started her own foundation.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-2\" class=\"data-event\">Reese recently invested in skincare brand Topicals, and her presence bolstered its valuation and helped secure funding of $22.6 million. The special thing about this was that it\u2019s no ordinary skincare brand. Topical is a \u201cblack-led skincare brand\u201d.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">WNBA star Angel Reese is expanding her impact beyond the court. The athlete has invested in Topicals, a Black-led skincare brand redefining how textured skin, chronic conditions, and real concerns are treated. Reese\u2019s contribution helped push the company\u2019s total funding to more\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eTb64t5Y9b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\">pic.twitter.com\/eTb64t5Y9b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 EBONY (@EBONY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EBONY\/status\/2010181028594257979?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\">January 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-4\" class=\"data-event\">Topicals is focused on treating textured skin and other chronic conditions. But it is the positive impact that this $22.6 million cash injection could have on the company that stands out as the biggest benefit of Reese\u2019s involvement with the brand.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-5\" class=\"data-event\">The majority of Reese\u2019s wealth, estimated at $9.4 million, comes from endorsements and other business assets. While she has not invested heavily, she does own a stake in DC Power FC, a soccer team based in the nation\u2019s capital. Reese is also a brand ambassador for Reebok, McDonald\u2019s, and Victoria\u2019s Secret, the latter of which saw her walk the runway at its famed fashion show last year.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-6\" class=\"data-event\">Compare that to her WNBA salary, and it\u2019s a\u00a0huge\u00a0difference. In 2025, she earned approximately $74k from hooping, a figure that\u2019s expected to reach $82k in 2026. But there\u2019s a lockout in the WNBA currently, and players are asking for a bigger slice of the pie. Considering the impact the likes of Reece have off court, it\u2019s a more than fair request.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Angel Reese is making full use of her status as one of the most popular stars in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[724,49,48,82,630],"class_list":{"0":"post-404047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-angel-reese","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
