How much do Olympians make?

By Zippia Team - Jul. 31, 2023

Olympians make $37,500 for every gold medal earned, $22,500 for every silver medal earned, and $15,000 for every bronze medal earned.

Olympians do not just get paid for getting accepted into and attending the Olympic games. They must place in either 1st (Gold medal), 2nd (Silver medal), or 3rd (Bronze medal) in order to be given their bonus payment.

Olympians often earn more money from sponsorship deals with large companies than they do from participating and even placing in the Olympic games. Many Olympians obtain sponsorship deals that value in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, depending on their fame and what product or brand they are promoting.
