Brittney Griner is one of the most dominant women’s Basketball players of all time. Irrespective of her recent arrest and imprisonment in Russia and the attention she got because of it, she would go down among the greatest of all time in the sport. The Net Worth of Brittney Griner is also at the Top-5 among WNBA players, present and past.

That’s not the only top-5 he is in, though. The 6-foot-9-inch Center of the Phoenix Mercury is also the 4th tallest WNBA player of all time who wears size 17 shoes. Mind you, men’s 17. But her net worth is what we are going to focus on.

Brittney Griner net worth is around $17 million

With a reported $1 million deal with Nike, and earning $664,544 through her current 3-year contract with Mercury, Brittney Griner has a net worth of $5 million.

You must be wondering how that sums up. The answer would be, Russia. The country that showed the future First Ballot Hall of Famer of WNBA, the worst 9 months of her life for carrying marijuana, also gave her over a million dollars USD a season playing for UMKC Ekaterinburg for 7 seasons.

So, she might be worth around $17 million according to some reports, which makes her the richest among WNBA stars.

Griner is the first openly gay athlete in the NBA

Brittney made history as the first openly gay athlete in the NBA. She has been an incredible role model for young athletes everywhere, showing that one can be successful and out and proud at the same time.

A true pioneer for LGBTQ athletes, Griner has had an outstanding career so far. She intends to continue to play for the Phoenix Mercury from next season on. We hope to see her back on the court (basketball) soon.
