Angel Reese Says Her 'Dream Job' Doesn't Pay Enough—But 'Side Job' Pays Seven Figures

There’s a reason Angel Reese likes modeling despite making a career in the WNBA.

Reese posted pictures of herself in a bathing suit on Oct. 2, prompting a troll on X to ask her an eye-rolling question about her career.

“Do u wanna be a ig model or wnba player pick one at this point,” the person wrote.

“Well no i’ll never pick because my dream job doesn’t pay me enough while my side job pays me 7 figures,” she wrote before plugging her Unapologetically Angel podcast. “Anywayyy… go check out my new episode.”

On her podcast, Reese addressed whether she takes playing in the WNBA seriously since she gets a lot of attention for being attractive.

“Just because I’m fine, does not mean I don’t take basketball serious,” she said. “Like this whole gag, let’s give it up.”

“I’m sorry, you gotta talk to my mom,” she added, crediting with her genes with her looks. “Being fine, I have to—that’s my thing. But I also hoop.”

Reese also described how she juggles both modeling and being a professional athlete.

“I got up this morning and worked out, and then got my makeup done,” she shared. “I maximize my 24 hours so I am very sorry, actually I’m not sorry, but I’m sorry for those who feel some type of way that they can’t be fine and play basketball.”

Elsewhere in the podcast, Reese said that she made a nice chunk of change from her Mebounds merchandise this summer.

“So the Mebounds, if you know, you know,” she said. “They tried to clown me for rebounds, and what did I do? I made a bag off of it. Six figures plus, thank you. So y’all can try again because I need another idea for some new colorways.”
