Angel McCoughtry Net Worth
Famous female basketball player Angel McCoughtry turned pro in 2009 and already managed to amass some decent wealth. As of 2015, McCoughtry’s net worth is about $300,000. Since salaries in WNBA are very limited, Angel plays last couple of years also for Fenerbahce Istanbul to increase her annual income.
Angel was born September 10, 1986 in Baltimore, Maryland. As most professionals, McCoughtry played basketball already on high school. In 2005, she was accepted to Louisville university and played for their team named Louisville Cardinals. She went pro in 2009. Her first and so far only WNBA team was Atlanta Dream. But salaries for female player are only a fraction of NBA paychecks and many players seek other financial opportunities overseas. It was the same with McCoughtry.
She played 2009-2010 season for Good Angels Kosice and later moved to Turkey where she currently plays for Fenerbahce Istanbul. McCoughtry was a part of US national team that won gold medal on 2012 London Olympic Games. That’s certainly one of the biggest achievements of her career.
Besides her net worth, Angel’s fans are also very interested in her love life. She recently came out as gay and posted a picture of herself and her girlfriend on her Instagram account. The couple is already engaged, so we guess the marriage is only matter of time. She also said online that she was discriminated and her overseas team wanted her to deny her relationship.
