Meet the highest-paid Olympian at the 2026 Olympics: Eileen Gu. She won the silver medal in freeski slopestyle, and she’s a name you need to know. Gu has already won gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics in both big air and halfpipe. And she’s not done yet at this year’s Olympics either. But what she’s already accomplished is astonishing. Gu is just 22 years old and is a student at Stanford University. She’s already won multiple gold medals in the Olympics, World Championships, and the Winter X Games. In 2022, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world In 2023, Forbes named her the 2nd-highest earning female athlete in the world. In 2025, she made $23 million - but only $100,000 of that was from competition prize money. The rest was from endorsement deals. She has partnerships with companies like Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Tiffany & Co, Red Bull, Victoria’s Secret, and more. Still just a 22-year-old college student, she’s already one of the most famous female athletes on the planet.
