Okay, so I got curious about how much NBA cheerleaders make. You see them on TV, all energetic and glamorous, and I just had to know. So I dove in, did some digging, and here’s what I found out.

My Little Research Journey
First, I started with a simple online search. I mean, that’s where everyone starts, right? I typed in “NBA cheerleader salary” and, boom, tons of articles popped up. It was a bit overwhelming at first, to be honest.
I spent a good chunk of time just reading through different websites. Some were news articles, others were blog posts, and a few were even forum discussions. I tried to stick to sources that looked reliable – you know, not some random person’s opinion on a shady website.
It appeared clear that the amount varies.
What I found that currently, the NBA cheerleaders and other professional dancers get paid salaries between $200 and $650 per game. Not bad for a night’s work, huh?
But there’s more! They also get bonuses like:

- Free guest tickets
- Free parking
- Free travel
So, yeah, that’s the gist of it. It’s not millions, but it’s a decent chunk of change, especially with all those extra perks. It’s definitely more than I thought they made, I have got admit it!
