Angel Reese’s gripe over her WNBA salary not covering her Chicago rent certainly got folks talking … but her situation could actually be MUCH worse — ’cause Barbara Corcoran tells TMZ Sports paying $8,000 a month in the Windy City ain’t too shabby!!
The Sky forward sparked a bit of backlash when she complained about her financial situation on Instagram Live … claiming her WNBA check alone couldn’t keep a roof over her head.
Fans quickly ripped Reese, claiming she was balling without a budget … but Corcoran — who also stars on “Shark Tank” — said it might not be the case.
“$8,000 a month in Chicago, she’s lucky she gets a kitchen for it,” Corcoran — founder of one of the most successful real estate brokerages in the country — said in NYC.
“Thank God she’s not moving to New York. Here, she’d pay $12,000 for the same apartment. So, it could be worse.”
“It’s a decent deal.”
Corcoran — who sold her real estate firm to NRT in 2001 — thinks Reese’s days renting will be over shortly, though … saying she expects the hooper to look into buying a place of her own soon.
FYI, Reese makes money outside of her WNBA salary. The 22-year-old has multiple sponsorships … and just inked a multi-year extension with Reebok.
So yeah, she’ll be just fine.
