When we say this generation of hoops is different, it’s ballers like Cameron Brink we’re talking about. You know, just when everyone thought Brink being away from basketball for nearly nine months was a red flag, she flipped the script and showed she’s way more than just a basketball player. Instead of letting that time slow her down, she grabbed the chance to prove her versatility off the court.
After being tagged as a ‘model’ her whole life, she actually stepped into that world, started her own podcast, and quickly became the WNBA’s fashion face. What she’s doing on and off the court isn’t just inspiring, it’s also padding her bank account in ways most rookies can only dream of.
What is Cameron Brink’s net worth?
As of 2025, Forbes estimates it at around $2 million. Now, a big chunk of that comes from her WNBA salary, but Brink’s money story didn’t start there. She’s made some serious waves with endorsements too. The money train started rolling back in her college days.
At Stanford, she was already pulling in over $200,000 from NIL deals – that’s Name, Image, and Likeness agreements – representing over 20 brands.

Being one of the top picks in the 2024 draft, she qualified for the max rookie contract. And although athletes complain that a $70,000 salary sounds low, Cameron’s got a different take. On the “Richer Lives by SoFi” podcast, she shared, “My mom was the first to go to college in her family. My grandma worked three jobs as a single mom. I do not take that money for granted. That is good money. That is a salary that we work very hard for. She did mention it’d be nice to see bigger paychecks, but she’s realistic about not expecting NBA-level cash anytime soon.
Cameron Brink’s career earnings
If you add up her rookie year and second-year salary, Cameron’s total WNBA earnings so far come to about $154,601. But that’s just part of the picture. In 2024, her endorsement deals were estimated at around $297,000 and those numbers are likely climbing as her profile grows.
Cameron Brink’s basketball career
Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Cameron spent three years living in Amsterdam as a kid because her parents worked at Nike. She wasn’t initially obsessed with basketball as she loved art and got into volleyball after watching the 2012 Olympics. Her basketball journey started thanks to a camp held by her godfather, Dell Curry, when her family was visiting Charlotte, North Carolina.
After playing on a school team in Amsterdam as the youngest player, her family moved to Oregon. There, she joined a basketball club and played for Southridge High School in Beaverton. She was a top recruit, ranked No. 3 in the 2020 class by ESPN, and committed to Stanford over big schools like Oregon and UConn.
Cameron made an immediate impact. In her freshman year, she helped Stanford win its first national championship since 1992. By her junior year, she surpassed Jayne Appel as Stanford’s all-time leader in blocks. After a stellar senior season, she declared for the WNBA draft and was picked No. 2 overall. Her rookie WNBA season was cut short after playing just 15 games due to an ACL injury. But knowing Cameron, we know that she’s only getting started.
What are the brands endorsed by Cameron Brink?
Brink’s brand game is as strong as her court game. She made history as the first female basketball player signed by New Balance, joining their NB Academy collection in 2023.

As for the assets, Cameron keeps her personal life pretty low-key. She’s originally from Beaverton, Oregon, but details about where she lives now aren’t widely known.

Whatever the case, Brink’s is living a luxurious life while her focus is clearly on her career and comeback.
