Termed as the next big thing in women basketball circuit, Aliyah Boston has already announced her arrival with a sweeping season. The South-Carolina baller had the fans in awe during the recent WNBA outing. Being the first pick in the WNBA draft, she showed the world why she was No.1.

Aliyah grew up watching her sibling play before falling in love with basketball. Her s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s were noticed at the high school level, where she secured Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year award. She dominated the game throughout her college career at USC. Boston went on to break the SEC record with her 20th consecutive double-double in her junior year. From being named Freshman of the Year to Naismith Defensive Player of the Year, she led a successful college career. In April 2023, she was the first overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever.

How Bucks stop with Boston?

Being one of the greatest college players ever and the first pick in the WNBA, Boston made waves in the WNBA with her extraordinary s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s and secured the 2023 Rookie Of The Year title. But, one question remains, being such a great player and the first pick, how much is she earning?

Her net worth is estimated to be around $2 Million, and she is making $74,305 in 2023-24 with an agreement between her and Fever. The salary will hop to $75,792 in the next year and to $83,371 in the next to next year. Aside from earning in the WNBA, her NIL deals have a huge impact on her earnings. Her current NIL valuation stands at $116K, because of deals with companies like Under Armour, Bose, Crocs, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and many more.  

She even signed a multi-year deal with sports giant Adidas, although the terms and the earnings of the deal have not been shared publicly, she is expected to be making a good amount from the deal. 

“It feels amazing to be part of Adidas. Adidas is empowering women, and they’re opening the doors for women’s sports. It’s just continuing to grow the game,” she said in an interview with ESPN.
