In 2022, Becky Hammon became the million-dollar coach nobody saw coming. A kid from Rapid City who honed her game with Nerf ball battles in the driveway—too small, too slow, undrafted—now stands as the face of the WNBA’s richest coaching deal. “Little girls, guys, anybody can look at her and say, ‘She’s just like me… and she’s making a million dollars. I can do that too,’” said Las Vegas Aces owner Mark Davis, who made her the league’s highest-paid coach.
But how much is the WNBA’s first millionaire coach worth in 2025
What is Becky Hammon’s net worth in 2025?
While official numbers are under wraps, estimates in 2024 pegged her fortune at around $500,000, mostly thanks to her trailblazing coaching salary and selective endorsement deals. But with that $1 million paycheck from the Las Vegas Aces and high-profile partnerships, her wealth is growing fast. One standout is her long-running collaboration with SWBC, a San Antonio-based financial powerhouse, where she’s been a spokesperson since 2016.
Plus, her commitment to uplifting women’s basketball, like the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award, shows she’s not just stacking checks—she’s building a legacy.
What is Becky Hammon’s contract with the Las Vegas Aces?

By 2025, while she still ranks among the highest-paid coaches in the league, Hammon now holds the second spot behind Phoenix Mercury’s Nate Tibbetts, whose $1.2 million salary leads the pack. Hammon’s landmark five-year contract, which kicked off on December 31, 2021, made her the highest-paid coach at the time, and continues to be a beacon for what’s possible when talent meets trailblazing ambition.
Despite her exact contract details remaining undisclosed, her $1 million salary is justified by her extraordinary track record: leading the Aces to back-to-back WNBA championships in 2022 and 2023, posting a franchise-best 34–6 record, and transforming the Aces into a dominant force with a winning culture. Before her success with the Aces, Hammon broke new ground as the NBA’s first full-time female assistant coach, spending eight years (2014–2022) with Gregg Popovich’s San Antonio Spurs, where she sharpened her coaching skills under one of the most respected figures in basketball.
Becky Hammon’s college and professional career
Hammon’s basketball journey is a story of defiance against odds. A Colorado State University legend, she left college as the school’s all-time leading scorer and went undrafted in 1999—a move that only fueled her.

Internationally, she represented Russia in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, adding a rare global chapter to her resume.
In coaching, Hammon’s resume is already Hall of Fame-worthy, blending trailblazing firsts with tangible success on the court. While her net worth may not yet match her male NBA peers, her impact on women’s basketball economics is unmatched—and still growing.
