<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPaige Bueckers<\/a> and Azzi Fudd have built impressive financial profiles through basketball and major endorsement deals. The two UConn stars turned their college success into lucrative opportunities, with Bueckers now playing in the WNBA and Fudd entering the professional league in 2026.Bueckers built much of her wealth through NIL deals before becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. Fudd also secured major brand partnerships before becoming the No. 1 pick in 2026.<\/p>\n Paige Bueckers has an estimated net worth of around $1.5-2 million based on multiple industry reports by Fortune, Marca and more. Her wealth grew rapidly during her college career at UConn. Azzi Fudd followed a similar path at UConn. Before entering the WNBA, her estimated net worth was around $750,000 to $1 million. Now the industry reports estimates her net worth at around $1.3 million.Together, Bueckers and Fudd have therefore built an estimated combined net worth of roughly $3-3.5 million<\/span>, depending on how their endorsement income, investments and professional earnings are calculated. With both players still early in their careers, that figure could rise sharply in the coming years.<\/p>\n Paige Bueckers was among the early college athletes to benefit from the NCAA\u2019s NIL changes. In 2021, she signed a multiyear partnership with StockX. She also became the first college athlete to sign with Gatorade.Her endorsement portfolio later expanded. Bueckers has worked with major brands including Nike, Gatorade, Crocs, Bose, the LEGO Group and Fanatics. She also signed a three-year deal with Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.Bueckers\u2019 financial journey was not always easy. As a freshman at UConn, she admitted that she struggled to manage her money. Bueckers also revealed that she once spent her college stipend so quickly that she had to borrow her mother\u2019s credit card for gas and other necessities.Her financial situation changed dramatically after she became the No. 1 pick of the Dallas Wings in 2025. Her rookie contract was worth $348,198, with a first-year salary of $78,831 under the league\u2019s previous pay structure.Meanwhile, Azzi Fudd did not receive a traditional college salary. Instead, she earned money through NIL agreements with several prominent brands.Her partnerships have included Under Armour, DoorDash, Chipotle, Bose, Nespresso, BioSteel, Nerf, Madison Reed, Jansport, MoneyLion and TikTok. She has also had a connection with SC30 Inc., the brand associated with Stephen Curry.Her financial outlook changed significantly after she became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Fudd signed a historic rookie contract starting at $500,000 in 2026, followed by $520,000 in 2027 and $572,000 in 2028. A team option for 2029 is reportedly worth $646,360.The contract could be worth roughly $2.2 million over four years if the option is exercised.That salary marks a huge change from Bueckers\u2019 rookie deal one year earlier. It also reflects the WNBA\u2019s new financial structure and rising salary cap.<\/div>\n Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers.
