Former Los Angeles Sparks star Liz Cambage revealed that she made more money upon starting an OnlyFans page than in her entire basketball career.
A four-time All-Star, she ended her playing in 2022 after mutually parting ways with the Sparks.
Cambage signed a one-year deal for $170,000 in February of that year before exploring other opportunities.
The Australian center joined Maccabi Bnod Ashdod in Israel and her current team, SiChuan Yuanada.
Additionally, she turned to OnlyFans, where her financial success went beyond her WNBA wages. Cambage reportedly earned more in her first week on the platform than she did in all her years on the basketball court.
According to Cambage, joining OnlyFans was not just a financial move but a way to express another side of herself.
‘Basketball was a part of me, but it wasn’t all of me,’ she shared, adding how she joined the platform to post fashion-forward, artistic, and suggestive content that reflected her creativity.
Cambage’s success on OnlyFans reignited conversations around the pay disparities in professional sports, particularly between the WNBA and NBA.
Although she earned $221,450 in her highest-paying season, the gap in pay remains glaringly concerning.
Cambage now earns $1.5 million annually through OnlyFans as she continues to build her personal brand. She added that she is ‘not closing any doors, but right now, I’m focusing on building something new.’
In addition to her time with the Sparks, Cambage was drafted by the Tulsa Shock in 2011 and also played for the Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces. Cambage was the WNBA scoring leader in and made the All-WNBA First Team in 2018.
She also represented Australia and won a silver medal in the 2018 FIBA World Cup and a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympics.
Cambage was the cover athlete for ESPN’s Body issue in 2019.
