She has sponsorship deals with Under Armour, Head, Red Bull, Oakley and Rolex, and is now heading to South Korea to build on her already successful (and lucrative) career. So I don’t think they pay their Athletes in Euros. Michael Phelps reportedly made $5 million for an UnderArmor deal, Forbes reported Usian Bolt makes about $33 million a year off endorsement deals, and Novak Djokovic supposedly earned $55.8 million in one year. Thats the govt for ya. If you are the BEST, you deserve to be rewarded handsomely. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon! Basically, when it comes to the Olympics, athletes either go home with close to nothing, or millions of dollars — and it all depends on how well they do in their sport of choice. China also takes kids away from their families at age 4 to train them for the Olympics. Understand that those that make money, pay taxes that in turn is given to those who contribute nothing. Because of this, they don't have time to work or earn a living in some way — a thought that leads many people to wonder: How much do Olympians get paid? I have to say what a joke to some of these comments about ppl trying to say Olympians are overpaid. Cut back on education and spend on coaching. According to Business Insider, Olympians don't get paid simply for participating in the games by anyone associated with the Olympics. (and that’s not only for the money for the medals, but also the hotels, flight, food etc…). Other than the thrill of competition, they have to fight hard for other compensation. They do it because of a desire to be the best in their sport, to fulfill a goal, or to improve their position in life. Being an Olympic athlete will open doors and if they walk through them, they will create a nice life. And how do the athletes afford the coaches? i think any athlete that represents the united states or any other country should be paid more than what they get paid. I suppose they do it because they love it. The toll they put on their bodies to get where they are is unreal and deserves to be rewarded. Not all of us are wired that way, to endure the pain and sacrifice to be the best they can be. Do you know how much do they pay for a medal ? Is it true that the US gold medalist get paid 25,000 every year? Most Olympians earn nothing for Olympic competition. thanks! If we could all have that type of commitment, what a better world…. Think of the Olympians who did not win or those atlethes did not make the Olympic themes. How about this for low ball. Sign Up for free weekly money tips to help you earn and save more. Uh, nothing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the May 2013 national earnings for professional athletes in performance arts estimated at $75,980. I think that the fact that Olympians don’t get paid is probably a good thing. We didn’t force them into the olympics. The prize for a gold medal is $25,000, $15,000 for a silver medal, and $10,000 for a bronze. Wow, I have never seen so many people that think someone can eat, pay rent, pay trainers, etc…off of “pride” or “recognition”. I am also okay with them getting taxed on the prize money (only because the money is paid to them from America, not the Olympics…I think?). I did not invest in my career so ppl would compliment me, I want to better myself. Get a crew to film reality show in Iraq, and people in USA will go crazy watching obviously anon doesn’t pay taxes. It’s not like any of the major companies they endorse are close to bankruptcy…. Come back when you are LMAO.
