Caitlin Clark is shining on and off the court in her first year.
On Thursday, the Indiana Fever rookie sensation made her debut at the WNBA’s All-Star festivities while wearing a $78,000 necklace from Tiffany & Co. — which costs more than her $76,535 base salary this season.
In terms of the other elements of her arrival outfit, Clark wore a Georgio Armani dress, Versace shoes, Tiffany bracelets and Cartier earrings.

Although this year’s No. 1 overall pick signed to a four-year deal worth under $340,000, she’s earned significantly more via notable endorsement deals during both college and the WNBA.
Prior to being drafted, Clark and Nike came to terms on an eight-year, $28 million sponsorship that will also include the creation of her own shoe.
Clark has proven to be impactful in her rookie season after leading Iowa to back-to-back national championship games.
The 22-year-old is averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
On Wednesday, Clark tallied a gaudy 19 assists, already the most in a game in WNBA history.
She also collected the first triple-double by a WNBA rookie ever earlier this year.
Clark will join Fever teammate Aliyah Boston, fellow rookie standout Angel Reese and other WNBA stars on the team’s All-Star roster, which will take on A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Team USA in an Olympic tune-up on Saturday night.
Clark’s All-Star weekend and subsequent break might not include much other organized basketball.
The sharpshooter surprisingly won’t partake in the league’s three-point contest, and she currently is not on Team USA’s Olympic roster, though that could change with an injury.
“I told [Fever head coach] Christie [Sides], I was like, it’s probably going to feel really weird,” Clark said about the layoff. “ I’m probably going to be like anxious that I’m not touching a basketball –– but I need to not.”
If all remains the same, the next time fans will get to watch Clark play after Saturday in Phoenix will be on Aug. 16.
