In just one year, a basketball star earned more than throughout her entire career after transitioning from sports to the adult entertainment industry.
Liz Cambage is one of the most renowned female basketball players in the world. She is a four-time All-Star participant and holds the record for the most points scored in a game – 53. On the international stage, Cambage represented the Australian national team, earning a bronze medal at the London Olympics and a silver at the Basketball World Championship.
However, despite such achievements, Liz's maximum annual contract in the WNBA was only $221,000. Compared to the multimillion-dollar salaries of NBA players, this income appears quite modest. After retiring from her career in 2022, Liz decided to find a new way to reveal another side of her personality while also securing her financial future.
Cambage joined a platform where she publishes artistic and fashion content with hints of eroticism. According to Liz, this move allowed her to showcase her creativity and present a different aspect of her life to the public. She emphasized that basketball was an important part of her identity but did not completely define her as a person.
It is known that her first week on the platform generated more income than all her years in professional sports. According to sources, Liz is now earning about $1.5 million a year through the platform. Throughout her career, Cambage earned $590,000.
Cambage's statement has sparked a new wave of discussions regarding pay inequality in sports. Although the WNBA has been around for over two decades, the salaries of its players are still tens of times lower than the earnings of their NBA counterparts. Many female athletes are highlighting this issue, pointing out the need for change and fairer compensation.
Currently, Liz Cambage continues to develop her business and creates content that helps her stay in the spotlight. She noted that she is not closing the door on a return to basketball but is currently focused on building her own brand outside of the sports arena.
