“I may not see million-dollar contracts in my basketball lifetime, but I want the players coming after me to have that opportunity.” Striving to leave the game better than she found it, Napheesa Collier is undoubtedly one of the most influential athletes in the WNBA. While we could wax lyrical about Napheesa’s accolades in the WNBA, it was the birth of Unrivaled that earned her a spot on the TIME100 list of the hundred most influential people.

Having created an alternative for the players that not only keeps them from going overseas but also provides higher salaries, Napheesa is changing the game. And as the world takes notice of women’s basketball, Collier continues to multiply her wealth.

What is Napheesa Collier’s salary with the Minnesota Lynx? 

In 2025, Collier was ranked 12th amongst the highest earners in the league as she earned a salary of $214,284. Her deal with the Minnesota Lynx, signed in 2022, was a max extension according to the CBA at the time. Head Coach Cheryl Reeves expressed her joy at the re-signing of her star, “I am thrilled that she has elected to extend her contract to remain a Lynx and look forward to the years ahead with Phee as a cornerstone of the franchise.” 

Collier’s three-year contract includes an average annual salary of $184,172, which will expire at the end of the 2025 season. She would’ve earned $552,516 from the deal by the time it ends.

When she signed the extension, she outlined a clear goal. “I’m excited to extend my career in Minnesota and to continue working towards a championship,” said Collier. “I look forward to joining my teammates and coaching staff for years to come.”  They got awfully close at the end of last season, falling to her Unrivaled co-founder, Brianna Stewart’s squad. The NY Liberty defeated the Lynx in game 5 of the Finals. Collier, coming off the inaugural Unrivaled MVP, appears determined to fulfill her promise this year.

Napheesa Collier Contract History: How much has she earned from the WNBA so far?  

Napheesa signed her first deal as a rookie in 2019 upon being drafted by the Minnesota Lynx. She was on a rookie-scale contract and earned approximately $220,235 from it. This was her only WNBA contract prior to the multi-year extension she signed in May 2022. Her salary was $49,539 as a rookie and rose to $72,141 by the final year of the contract.

Her current contract, the max-extension signed in 2022, would have earned her $552,516 by the end of the season.

As of the 2024 season, Collier has earned $647,763 from the WNBA alone. She will earn $214,284 from the 2025 NBA season, after which she would become a free agent. This would provide her to secure an even better deal for herself with the CBA expected to be signed by the end of this year.

What are Napheesa Collier’s endorsements as of 2025? What’s her net worth? 

Napheesa Collier has several notable endorsement deals, including one with Nike and another with U.S. Bank. She also collaborates with other brands, including Twitter, DAZN, WTA, and WWE. Collier’s endorsements are a significant part of her overall earnings and impact her brand image. 

Nike:

Napheesa Collier has a long-standing partnership with Nike, beginning in 2020. She is known for her player-exclusive Nike KD 15 Napheesa Collier Community shoes. This PE shoe draws inspiration from her Sierra Leonean heritage and features her mantra, “Any Na Way” (meaning never give up), on the tongue of the shoe.

 She has been involved in various Nike campaigns, including the Champs Sports Nike Holiday Campaign. It aimed to celebrate female basketball players and their off-court style. It also sought to market Nike’s “Sisterhood” Air Force 1 and Blazer shoe lines.

Nike has even featured Napheesa Collier in its “One-On-One” series, described as a platform for “unscripted conversations between Nike elite athletes.” In one such feature, Collier was paired with fellow basketball star Sylvia Fowles, describing her stature for the company.

U.S. Bank:

Collier is an ambassador for the U.S. Bank. The deal is significant for Collier and is focused on helping women with financial wellness. Napheesa said about the partnership, “Their support for the WNBA is not just financial, but truly practical. They really listened to us as players and created tools to help us with some of the unique financial challenges we face as female athletes.”  

Unrivaled:

In July 2023, Collier announced she and Breanna Stewart were forming a new professional women’s league, Unrivaled, to give WNBA players an option to play in the W’s off season. This also presented an alternative to playing overseas while earning unprecedented amounts.

Unrivaled paid each of its 36 players a guaranteed $250,000 salary for the eight-week season, along with $50,000 for each member of the winning team. The league claims to be offering the highest average salary of any women’s sports league, while players also receive equity stakes as part-owners in the league, which makes it a compelling venture both financially and professionally.

Collier earned $200,000 by winning the Unrivaled 1-on-1 tournament. She received $50,000 as part of the championship team’s prize money and earned a total of $250,000 from the league.

While her net worth isn’t available on too many sources, Marca estimates her net worth the be $1.5 million as of 2025.
