Former LSU Tigers star Angel Reese went #7 overall in last week’s WNBA draft to the Chicago Sky, and she wasted little time making her first purchase to ride the streets in as her professional career gets ready to kick off.

Starting a new life in Chicago means getting a new ride to cruise around town, which is why the former named Bayou Barbie has purchased a new Mercedes Benz after giving up her old vehicle.

She uploaded a picture of her old car on Instagram with the caption:

“BYE BYE TO MY FIRST EVER BABY,” Angel Reese wrote. “BUT ITS TIME TO UPGRADE YA TO THE BIG BARBIEEEEE”

Angel Reese, who became one of the faces of the NIL, unveiled her AMG G-Class SUV in a post on her Instagram Story while in Illinois this week.

According to Mercedes-Benz, the luxurious car with a red inside made of Nappa leather and black rims starts at $183,000.

“NEW CITY. NEW BEGINNINGS. NEW BIG BODY BARBIE BENZ.”

Reese recently purchased a white Mercedes Benz 2024 AMG 63 SUV with an automatic transmission, five seats, and a load capacity of 38.1–68.6 cubic feet. According to the website, it is equipped with an AMG 4.0LV8 biturbo engine that produces 577 horsepower at 6,000 rpm.

Angel Reese had a whopping total of 17 different NIL sponsorship deals during the 2022-2023 season, according to a March 2023 Sponsor United report.

That number got bigger after SponsorUnited recently released its Name, Image, Likeness Marketing Partnerships 2023–24 report and it revealed Reese had the second-most NIL endorsements over the past year with 26 deals, tied with UCLA quarterback Chase Griffin.

Reese may no longer be in college athletics but her partnerships will continue to increase, and she will continue to make waves in professional sports.
