Angel Reese has flaunted her new, luxurious Mercedes-Benz upon touching down in Chicago just a little more than a week after being selected as seventh overall pick in the WNBA Draft on April 15.
The former LSU star, who has a $1.8million NIL valuation, unveiled her AMG G-Class SUV on her Instagram Story while out shopping for a car with her Yorkie, ‘Thiago,’ on Wednesday, as she captioned her post: ‘New City. New beginnings. New big body Barbie Benz.’
Her luxury vehicle, which features Nappa leather red interior and black rims, has a starting price of $183,000, according to Mercedes Benz.
Reese also gave a shoutout to Champion Motoring in San Diego, California, known for catering to professional athletes.
She previously purchased a Mercedes-Benz EQS-class 580 on her 21st birthday last year at a dealership in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The sedan’s starting price is listed at $143k, according to Mercedes Benz.

Reese has the second-most NIL endorsements across college sports with 26 deals, according to USA Today’s Rookie Wire, as Mercedes-Benz, Reebok, Xfinity, Wingstop and McDonald’s all sponsor the Maryland native.
Reese’s relationship with Mercedes-Benz began shortly after LSU won its first-ever women’s NCAA basketball title in 2023.
This year, Reese’s Tigers were eliminated by Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite Eight.
Clark, whose team lost to the South Carolina Gamecocks in the championship game, was picked first overall by the Indiana Fever in this year’s draft.
As the 2024 WNBA season approaches, training camps are set to open on April 28, with the regular season starting on May 14. Reese is expected to make her league debut for the Sky in the team’s first matchup against the Dallas Sky on May 15.
