Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark has emerged as the biggest star in all of college basketball the past couple of seasons, and it sounds like she’s being compensated accordingly.
According to a recent profile on Caitlin Clark by Wright Thompson, a senior writer for ESPN, the Iowa Hawkeyes superstar is making a lot of money on her endorsement deals. While Thompson did not reveal the exact amount of money Clark is earning from endorsements, he did report that it is in the seven figures – so at least $1 million.
“She earns seven figures and has deals with Bose, Nike and State Farm,” Thompson wrote for ESPN this week. “The Iowa grocery store chain Hy-Vee, another corporate partner, sometimes pays for her private security at public events.”
It certainly makes sense that she’s pulling in all of those endorsement deals given her massive popularity and success on the basketball court.
Clark will now have one last ride through the NCAA Tournament as she tries to lead her Iowa Hawkeyes to a national championship after falling just short last season with a loss to the LSU Tigers in the title game.
We’ll have to see whether or not she can go out with a bang.
