Towering basketball star Liz Cambage has dominated the courts and caused a stir in a completely other industry—OnlyFans. When this former WNBA player abruptly revealed that her earnings from her first week on the subscription-based website had surpassed her earnings during her tenure with the WNBA, it threw fans into a frenzy and social media into a frenzy. The bold decision puts Cambage back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not because of her jump shot.
In 2022, Cambage decided to move away from the Los Angeles Sparks for personal development and retired from the WNBA. In an interview, Cambage stated, “It was time for me to recover and rediscover who I was.” Australian basketball player Cambage made the decision to try something different after averaging 15.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game throughout her years in the league.
She claims that showcasing a different side of herself was the reason she joined OnlyFans. “It wasn’t all of me, but basketball was a part of me,” she adds. By sharing fashion-forward, artistic, and provocative images that showcase her passion for modeling and all things creative, the platform’s tailored content powerhouse has enabled her to engage with followers on her terms.
The controversy around salary inequality in professional sports has been reignited by Cambage’s disclosure. With a salary of $221,450 in her highest-earning season, she was among the highest-paid players in the WNBA. But when compared to what her male NBA colleagues make, this is a drop in the ocean.
The popularity of OnlyFans brought attention to the financial struggles of female athletes. Cambage acknowledges, “It’s crazy to even think I made more in a week than I did playing years in the league.” Although her basketball stardom has been a topic of discussion among fans and commentators, she has a different perspective. “This is about celebrating who I am and taking ownership of my brand,” she explains.
