Yeah, she had trouble earned enough money, playing in the USA.
She has a (3) year deal with the Phoenix Mercury, for $200,000/year.
She has a deal with Nike Sports, that pays her $1,000,000/year.
It's tough to get by on $1,200,000/year.
10 years ago, she was getting paid $600,000/year to play in China.
The woman is at the gates of poverty.
