The two basketball stars are among the highest NIL earners in the college sports world, with Clark being the fourth-highest earner in the NCAA with a $3.1 million valuation.
Nike, State Farm, and Gatorade are among the biggest companies that sponsor her.
Reese is close behind her, being the eight-highest earner with a $1.8 million valuation.
Airbnb, Reebok, Tampax and Beats by Dre are some of the largest partnerships that she has inked.
While many people think college athletes lose their NIL deals when they go pro, they can keep working with companies while they earn professional salaries.
Companies are still eager to work with Reese and Clark, among those being the trading card company Panini, who has inked both of the stars to sponsorships.
Clark signed a deal with Panini earlier in March which was reported to be worth over $1 million in its first year. She was the first female athlete to have an exclusive trading cards and signed memorabilia partnership.
Reese has become the second with her deal that she just inked, following similar terms to Clark’s deal, but the value is not yet disclosed.
“Angel is an outstanding talent and an electric player, and we are excited to welcome her to the Panini family as an exclusive athlete,” Jason Howarth, Panini America’s senior vice president of marketing and athlete relations said.
Reese expressed a similar level of excitement regarding her new sponsorship deal.

“I’m excited to join Panini as an exclusive athlete for autograph trading cards and memorabilia,” Reese said.
“As a little girl growing up, you always dream of playing basketball and getting your first trading card.
“I can’t wait for fans everywhere to be able to start collecting my Panini cards.”
Reese and Clark are both anticipated to be top-10 picks in the upcoming WNBA Draft.
Clark is almost guaranteed to go No. 1 overall to the Indiana Fever. Reese is expected to go around No. 7 or No. 8.
The WNBA Draft is on Monday, April 15 in New York City.
