Winning a medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics does not just mean standing on the podium. The International Olympic Committee does not pay athletes for medals, so bonuses come from each country’s Olympic committee or government instead.
According to data compiled from national Olympic committees, Singapore is offering the biggest rewards in Milan-Cortina: about $788,907 for gold, $394,497 for silver and $197,282 for bronze, despite having just one athlete at these Games. Hong Kong is close behind with roughly $767,747 for gold, while host nation Italy is paying around $213,418 for gold, $106,707 for silver and $71,148 for bronze.
