Angel Reese, the 22-year-old WNBAstar for the Chicago Sky, has become a global sensation after a record-breaking rookie season that could have been even better if not for an injury that kept the team out of the playoffs. Like many young athletes, Reese knows how to capitalize on her image through her social media accounts and with brands that sponsor her, such as Reebok and Reese’s chocolate. Given her last name, it was almost inevitable that this Hershey’s sub-brand would partner with her for marketing campaigns. In addition to her athletic accomplishments, she is recognized as a savvy businesswoman. The lifestyle she displays on her social media reflects the luxurious life she enjoys and will likely continue to enjoy for years to come, especially during the off-season, as is the case now.Speaking of luxury, Angel Reese made waves when she attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as part of an elite group invited by Formula 1 and its sponsors. During the event, Reese met celebrities such as actor Terry Crews and her favorite actress, Taraji P. Henson. Henson told Reese, “I’m so proud of you. Just keep doing what you’re doing,” acknowledging her youth and the remarkable accomplishments she has already achieved in her career and personal life. Reese’s brand has grown internationally, with major partnerships and media appearances cementing her as one of the most influential athletes of her generation, of course alongside TIME Magazine’s Athlete of the Year, Caitlin Clark.
