How much are Olympic gold medalists paid at Paris Games? What to know

Winning an Olympic gold medal can be life-changing.

Depending on the nationality of the players, it can be quite lucrative.

Athletes who win individual gold medals for Malaysia, Morocco and Serbia at the 2024 Paris Olympics will receive more than $200,000 from their governments or national Olympic committees, according to a USA Today Sports review of medal prize money. At least six countries, including Italy, which won 10 gold medals in Tokyo, are offering prize money of more than $100,000. Others are offering extra perks like apartments or vacation vouchers, or even extra cash if athletes break Olympic records.

Medal prize money can make a big difference, especially for athletes in less popular Olympic sports, where sponsorship deals and endorsements are harder to come by.
