Best Answer

The International Olympic Committee does not give a cash reward along with the medals. Rather, the Olympic Committee in the athlete's home country, may reward the athlete for their success.

A US gold medal winner for example receives $25,000 for a gold medal. Italy offers $182,000, Ghana offers $20,000.

Do the winners of an Olympic event get a cash prize along with a medal?

The International Olympic Committee does not award cash prizes to the winners. Many countries, however, do offer cash prizes and other incentives to medalists. In 2012, American competitors who won Olympic medals were rewarded in cash by the US Olympic Committee. Gold medal winners received $25,000, Silver medal winners received $15,000, and Bronze medal winners received $10,000. However, the real money is earned through commercial endorsements. Some Olympians get paid a performance bonus from sponsors for winning a medal and may sign commercial endorsements that could wind up paying them millions.
