Everybody has pivotal moments in their careers, and Angel Reese is no exception. The largest representation firms in the nation wanted to add her to their clientele after she won the 2023 NCAA national championship. But in the end, the rising star received both because he prioritized loyalty before money.
One of the faces of the WNBA nowadays is Reese. In addition to players like Camilla Cardoso, Cameron Brink, and Caitlin Clark, the Chicago Sky forward has brought new life to the league and secured some lucrative sponsorship deals.
But it wasn’t always the case. An agent informed the then-young player early in her collegiate career that she would never earn much money playing professionally.
Reese’s agent, Jeanine Ogbonnaya, has helped her accumulate a net worth of approximately $2 million five years later.
Ogbonnaya’s Influence on Angel Reese
Reese talked about her early days of popularity and the start of the siege on the major agencies in a recent episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel.
“I remember telling agencies, like, ‘I’m telling y’all right now, if y’all not letting Jeanine in on this, like it’s dead.'”
For Reese, the audacious approach paid off handsomely. Reese and Ogbonnaya have secured partnerships with Airbnb, Topps, Tampax, Reebok, Reese’s, and Beats by Dre, dating back to her NCAA days with the LSU Tigers and continuing with the Sky today.
The Reebok deal includes her exclusive line of sneakers, and Reese is the only WNBA athlete to have signed a contract with Reese’s. The player’s profits have increased significantly due to Ogbonnaya’s vision and Angel’s devotion.
Not everything is as simple as it seems, even while the money component appears to be handled. Ogbonnaya explained the difficulties of working as an agent for one of the most well-known companies right now, stating that independent agents are more aware of the market than large agencies.
