Standing at 6 feet tall, Clark initially partnered with Nike in 2022. Prior to the WNBA Draft, she hinted at an impending deal with the apparel giant during an appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” sporting a conspicuous black jacket emblazoned with a prominent “N.” This represents her maiden endorsement since transitioning into the professional realm.

Clark boasts an extensive roster of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements, encompassing brands such as Gatorade, State Farm, Buick, Panini America, Xfinity, Gainbridge, Topps, Hy-Vee, H&R BlockBose, Shoot-A-Way, and Goldman Sachs. According to On3, her collective NIL ventures are valued at approximately $910,000, contributing to an estimated net worth of $3.1 million.
