The 2017 Draft class winner, Kelsey Plum, has played like a top-notch guard in the league so far. In her seven seasons within the league, she has not only bagged the WNBA Championship in 2022 and 2023 but also won other accolades. She was even a WNBA All-Star Game MVP in 2022. However, her achievements are not just limited to the WNBA. Plum also won the Turkish Women's Super League while playing for Fenerbahçe in 2018 and 2019.

Currently, she is having a breakout season with the LA Sparks, tallying 25.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in just six games. It surely has put her into the limelight, and it's high time we should know how much Kelsey Plum has capitalized on her basketball success. So let's move ahead with Kelsey Plum's net worth and the extent of her financial success.

Kelsey Plum NIL Deal

Kelsey Plum played for the Washington Huskies during her collegiate career, and in that whole duration, the concept of NIL was not there. However, the NCAA approved the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policy, allowing student-athletes to monetize their NIL on July 1, 2021. Therefore, Plum did not capitalize on such deals during her college days. The only option for her to monetize her brand was after entering the WNBA. That's what she did, and now she has endorsement, not NIL deals.
