A lot. In the NBA, athletes get paid between 90 000 and over 1 million dollars per year. In the WNBA, athletes get paid between 30 and 100 thousand. 150 thousand if they are really good. I personally think that they should be paid the same, but the NBA is older and has much more fans than the WNBA.
no they get paid like nba players just not as much. average nba player gets a 12 million dollar contract average wnba player gets 60 thousand to 100 so they make alot of money just not like the men
They get paid about as nuch as $500 an hour.
Because the market for NBA games is larger than WNBA games, therefore, they make more money.
A lot
It would be difficult to determine the overall average salary of all professional basketball players in the world. However, a simple average can be determined. The lowest paid professional basketball players are the lowest paid players in the WNBA at $35,880. The highest paid player in the 2011 season is Kobe Bryant at $24,806,250. The simple average between these is $12,421,065. This is by no means an accurate depiction of what the average basketball player makes. Basketball is played around the world, and the NBA is the most prestigious, highest paying league. The WNBA has 12 teams, six in each division (East and West). There are 684 players (currently-2011) in the WNBA. The highest paid among them (Lisa Leslie) makes $103,500, so the average is $69,690 a year. An estimate of the worldwide average for all professional basketball players would be in the area of $100,00 a year or less US.
No, the first amount of money they make is when they sign.
-$75.00
Lisa Leslie I believe
The WNBA player currently making the most money is Candace Parker. With endorsements and salary, she makes $3,000,000 a year. However, the highest salary possible in the WNBA is $105,000 a season.
There is no maximum. Earnings above a certain amount (after deductions) are taxes at a fixed percentage rate..that will not change regardless of how much is earned.
Yes. Although they work hard and deserve to get paid a nice amount, I still believe that most players are over paid.
