Sophie Cunningham has done quite well in her WNBA career. She has built a net worth of around $2 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth, and earlier this week, she showed off the fruits of her labor.

The Indiana Fever guard posted a video on Instagram showing one of her newest purchases: a 2025 GMC Yukon AT4 Ultimate, which costs $96,995, as per the company's website.

Released last year, the model bought by Cunningham is equipped with 20-inch wheels, all-terrain tires and a front skid plate. According to a 2024 CNBC report, the AT4 Ultimate also has "expanded availability of a 3.0-liter diesel engine to assist range and fuel economy."

The clip of Cunningham's AT4 Ultimate went viral just days after she mentioned her car breaking down before the Indiana Fever-Dallas Wings matchup on Aug. 12. As cameras filmed her pregame entrance, Cunningham claimed that she walked to Gainbridge Fieldhouse because of the vehicle malfunction. However, she didn't mention which particular vehicle it was.

The game against Dallas was one of Cunningham's last outings before she tore her right MCL in an Aug. 17 showdown with the Connecticut Sun. The seven-year pro has been ruled out for the rest of the season as a result of this knee injury.

In her first season with the Fever, Cunningham averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game. More than her numbers on the stat sheet, Cunningham brought defensive intensity to an Indiana squad trying to make the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

It'll be a long time before Cunningham suits up for the Fever again. In the meantime, she can at least enjoy her newly purchased vehicle.

"Maybe you should focus less on fining players": Sophie Cunningham's sister Lindsey Cunningham accuses WNBA of failing to 'protect' its players from injury risk

Although Sophie Cunningham has made a lot of money, she has lost some of it through fines for her social media commentary on officiating in the WNBA.

After Sophie sustained an injury in the Fever-Sun game, her sister, Lindsey Cunningham, brought up the fines imposed by the WNBA.

"@WNBA maybe you should focus less on fining players for commenting on your poor officiating & more about hiring officials that are able to call a consistent game and protect your athletes. Pathetic. Praying for you @sophaller," Lindsey tweeted.

Their mother, Paula, took a shot at Sun player Bria Hartley, calling her a "disgruntled player" who is "out of control" in a now-deleted tweet. Cunningham has since said she had to correct her mother while expressing her belief that her former teammate, Hartley, had no intention of hurting her.
