Despite her rookie salary of $76,000, Clark has an 8-year, $28 million Nike contract and a net worth of $3 million, making her more than capable of helping pay for tickets. Teammate Lexie Hull, who makes slightly more at $77,000 annually but lacks major endorsements, may need assistance with season tickets as well.
