Diana Taurasi Net Worth
Diana Taurasi belongs to the best paid WNBA players. Her WNBA annual salary was $107,000 in 2014. That might not sound like much in a professional sport but remember that female basketball has very small fan base in US and this translates into much lower salaries and endorsement deals. But Taurasi made much more money playing overseas. In 2014, her income from other countries was $1.5 million. Her estimated total net worth reached $3 million as of 2015.
Taurasi played extremely good at Don Antonio Lugo High School. So good that she was drafted first for University of Connecticut (UConn) in 2000 and subsequently also for WNBA in 2004. Diana was a part of a national tea that won for US gold medals on Olympics in 2004, 2008, and 2012. List of her non-US teams includes Spartak Moscow and UMMC.
In 2006, Taurasi appeared in a cameo role on Believe in Me movie. List of her endorsement deals include Nike for her Nike Shox DT athletic shoes. Taurisi also promotes Eight O’clock Coffee. Yet so far it looks like her biggest source of income and net worth booster is her involvement in Russian basketball league.
Diana Taurasi is six feet tall and weighs 163 pounds. In 2011, Taurasi was cleared of doping allegations from previous year when she tested positive for a mild stimulant on one of the samples. That certainly made her fans happy as she is almost a legend of female basketball now. Senator Thomas Gaffey even nominated her once for the state’s heroine.
