Last updated on: September 23, 2024

Skylar Diggins-Smith is one of those talented exudates on the basketball court. She’s a WNBA superstar, and her moves combined with quick instincts make her a wonderful point guard. Born on 2nd August 1990, she was sure to have loved it from a young age but you could really see this in college at Notre Dame. Think of watching her drive toward the basket with such confidence could almost feel with every play.

Since being drafted third overall by the Tulsa Shock in 2013 known as the Dallas Wings, Teressa has blossomed into a shining star. She truly stands out due to her ability to score, lead her team, and make those crazy assists sometimes it feels like she has eyes in the back of her head and sees the game almost as well as ESPN. Teressa has multiple All-Star selections over the years and even won gold with Team USA.

But basketball is not all that Skylar is. Off the court, she’s a voice for things that really matter: women’s sports, mental health, and equality. It’s the kind of player you respect both for what she does and even more for who she is.

As of November 2024, Skylar Diggins-Smith is 34 years and 3 months old, her estimated net worth is $2.5 million, and she stands at a height of 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm or 1.75 m) tall.

Skylar Diggins and Daniel Smith’s exact date in dating is not reported to the public, but they are said to have met sometime between 2009 and 2013, where Skylar was set as a lady basketball player for the women’s basketball team and Daniel was playing wide receiver for the men’s football team. They strengthened their relationship by spending time amidst all the challenges that they undertook in each of their busy lives as student-athletes.

Net worth 2024

$2.5 million

As of November 2024, it’s estimated that Skylar Diggins-Smith has a net worth of about $2.5 million. Here’s a breakdown :

WNBA Salary

Being one of the best-known WNBA players, Skylar collected millions of money during her playing career. In 2020, she was traded from the Dallas Wings to the Phoenix Mercury where she was contracted for multi-year terms. The salary structure in the WNBA has been changing since the new CBA in which superstars like Diggins-Smith earn more base money.

She has an annual WNBA contract that nets her around about $220,000 per year, considering other inducements and bonuses. In 2024 she signed a 2-year $422,685 contract with Seattle. Her pay is a bit at the higher end of what most WNBA players get every year; however, it remains little compared to that of their male counterparts in the NBA.

Endorsement Earnings

The deal boosts Skylar’s income profoundly. Apart from being a Nike athlete and, thereby appearing in many of the brand’s advertising lines, Skylar’s other partners include BodyArmor sports drink, JPMorgan Chase, and Rockin’ Protein. Top-tier athletes in the WNBA can command endorsement deals up to one million dollars per year; Skylar likely earns money in this range from endorsements.

Media Gigs and Speaking Engagements

Diggins-Smith has also leveraged her platform to appear in the media, television, and even as an NBA analyst for ESPN. Her more than colorful personality combined with her deep inside basketball knowledge makes her an exemplary candidate for such roles. While salaries in media range hugely, her high profile in the world of sports hints that she might be pocketing money ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 per year in such appearances and gigs.

Business Ventures

Skylar is an entrepreneur too, utilizing the site as a springboard for launching her own clothing line and working on projects in the fashion space. In particular, there are no public disclosures of specific numbers, but athletes who go into the business in fashion and merchandising can earn several hundred thousand dollars if the brand does well. The partnerships with major brands here indicate that Skylar’s business endeavors are considered quite lucrative in the long run.

Social Media Influence

Skylar milks millions of followers that exist not only on Instagram and Twitter but also on other social media platforms with the generation of more revenue. Of course, she would attract revenue from sponsored posts and brand collaborations. This may be estimated to range between $5,000 and $10,000 per sponsored post, depending on the collaboration that occurs.

Real Estate and Investments

Though not one to make many headlines, many athletes invest in a variety of ways in real estate and investments. Given Skylar’s business acumen and savvy management of her salary, I would assume that she has invested in some type of real estate or venture but does not know publicly. This would therefore add another six-figure income-generating portfolio annually as suggested on her investments in real estate.
