Stephanie White Net Worth: What is the salary of the new Indiana Fever head coach?

Stephanie White is heading back to the Indiana Fever as their newly appointed Head Coach, bringing with her a stellar resume and undeniable success.

Her return has Fever fans buzzing, especially after two impressive seasons with the Connecticut Sun, where White led the team to back-to-back WNBA Semifinal appearances and earned the prestigious WNBA Coach of the Year title in 2023.

The Indiana native and Purdue alumna is no stranger to the Fever, having served as head coach in 2015-16 and as an assistant from 2011-14, notably helping guide the team to their first-ever WNBA Championship in 2012.

White’s contract with the Fever is under wraps

While her success speaks volumes, the specifics of White’s new contract with the Feverremain a mystery. Unlike the NBA, WNBA coaching salaries are often confidential. Despite this, specialized platforms such Essentially Sports and Sportskeeda estimate White’s net worth between $3 and $5 million.

PopSugar reports that WNBA coaching salaries are consistently kept private as each franchise independently manages salaries under the league’s private-company status.

Sources estimate top WNBA coaching salaries range from $500,000 to $1.2 million, but exact numbers for White are tough to pin down, as contracts vary widely across franchises.

The sudden growth of the WNBA

White’s reappointment comes amid a period of exponential growth for the WNBA, which saw over $200 million in revenue last year, marking a remarkable 200% increase year-over-year.

Ticket sales also surged, with a 93% increase from 2022. This momentum has been fueled in part by rising stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, who continue to attract fan attention, yet many feel salaries for coaches and players lag behind this growth.

Stephanie White now takes the helm for the Fever with 17 seasons of experience under her belt-both as a player and a coach-and a fierce dedication to the team. The big question now? Whether the WNBA’s growing revenue can finally translate into fair pay for the figures helping drive its success.
