Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are among the most famous power couples in the sports world.
The US Women’s National Team superstar and WNBA legend began dating in 2016 after meeting as the two faces of their respective Seattle sports teams. The pair got engaged in 2020, when Rapinoe got down on one knee and popped the question during their luxurious Caribbean vacation.
Rapinoe and Bird have been planning what’s sure to be a stunning and star-studded wedding ever since, but their athletic careers have seemingly delayed the big day. Both stars competed for Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, with Rapinoe taking home bronze with the USWNT and Bird earning her fifth gold medal with USA Basketball.
Then, after announcing she was ready to hang up her sneakers during the 2022 season, the legendary point guard completed her 19th and final season in the WNBA. She’s loved retirement, though Rapinoe told Insider it’s prompted “a lot of jealousy” of her fiancรฉe.

So as Rapinoe and Bird prepare to step out of competition and toward tying the knot, Insider took a look at how the couple makes and spends its millions.
