Caitlin Clark has landed her latest financial windfall with an in-person speaking appearance

Caitlin Clark has landed another major lucrative opportunity after being announced as the special guest for a public conversation with David Letterman.

The WNBA superstar has been keeping herself extremely busy during her first off-season as a professional, working on her golf game, attending a Taylor Swift concert and even promoting her latest range of basketballs through her endorsement with Wilson.

It has been quite the year for the 22-year-old, who is coming off the back of a remarkable breakthrough campaign with the Indiana Fever in which she shattered multiple all-time league records and earned the Rookie of the Year award.

Now, Clark has agreed to join legendary late-night TV host Letterman for a conversation at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, as part of a professional lecture and workshop series, with University President Geoffrey Mearns hailing the “very special” occasion.

“David Letterman is our university’s most famous graduate. He is a native Hoosier and a national icon, and Caitlin Clark has quickly become a beloved Hoosier and national star,” Mearns said in a press release. “I anticipate their conversation will be very special. On behalf of Ball State, we are honored to host them.”

The event will take place on Monday, December 2 and is expected to be a real money-spinner for Clark, who allegedly already receives a $100,000 fee for virtual speaking appearances. With this in mind, it can only be assumed her in-person charge is even more staggering.

But it will just be the latest grand sum the Fever point guard receives as part of her blossoming career both on and off the court, having already accumulated an enormous net worth despite reportedly earning a modest $76,535 (£58,949) a year salary through her basic rookie contract.

Nonetheless, her record-breaking debut campaign in the WNBA has more than made up for it, having received a number of lucrative deals and sponsorships as a result of leading the Fever to its first postseason appearance since 2016, quickly becoming one of the nation’s most influential athletes.
