The WNBA generates $60 million a year at a $10 million dollar loss and has never turned a profit in 25 years.

"2018, Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA, said that the WNBA had lost an average of $10 million per year for every year of its existence, including the posting of a $12 million loss in 2017. "
