In India if you win gold you will be given 1-2 million dollar from various sources, highest authority job, your own sports academy, land compensation, sponsorship, free air travel but above all love and respect form every citizen.
I think they get more unofficially... Luxury Car as well costing 250000€
IOA has below cash prizes announced:
🥇 ₹75L
🥈 ₹40L
🥉 ₹25L
What you mentioned are gifts that were given by other private entities and state govts.
@@nikhilpolekar8325 Each country has different way to appreciate . Take substance over form
@@nikhilpolekar8325 but states govt give 1million and overall it reach up to 2 million for gold
@@QualityInfo4 2 million USD or rupees
The amount of money some of these athletes spend on training is insane. That, the time and dedication put into the sport, they deserve the money.
And most important of all is the country image! On top of that business wise this is one of best marketing stratgey too. Think of all sides of it - winning a medal in the biggest event is a more than a win-win situatuon
Well they do choose this as their career path. Almost everyone who is pursuing a career spends a ton or acquires a debt chasing their career.
Mostly athletes who manage to reach this level are taken up by big brands like Nike and Adidas as their brand ambassadors and these brands pay alot but I think there should be a big prize by olympics itself.

This time neeraj chopra received 12 crore rupees(1.75million dollars), SUV700, army rank promotion and even a flat for winning gold... and even more. He definitely deserves all this
These are the best of the best in their field. Reaching there requires dedication, hard work, and some luck. He deserves every bit of it.
@@ravann123 yes u are absolutely right he deserves it
Source??? Where did you get to know about all this?
14.75 crore
Those are gifts that were given by other private entities and state govts.
IOA has below cash prizes officially:
🥇 ₹75L
🥈 ₹40L
🥉 ₹25L
Considering the amount of time and discipline and dedication it takes them to reach these goals I feel like they should get more
It’s kind of weird for the government to pay their salary, but I think the organization should definitely to those without big sponsors
To be honest.
@@zipity2782 In the US, the government doesn’t pay for the athletes. The US Olympic committee pays them and the committee is privately funded, no federal money is provided to them.
they make so much from sponsor deals tho
@@michaelmullaney6388 Some do and some don’t. Depends on the athlete and the sport.
The Indonesian gold medalist got an online shopping gift card worth almost a USD 100k, free coffee for life from a local well known vendor, 5 houses, some cattle, several f&b business franchise, a free Grab ride for the whole year, a fully paid vacation to 5 local destinations, an annual free round flight from Indonesia to Japan + USD 300k from the govt. And still more to come lol, claim your bags Olympians
Free coffee for life 🤯🤯
I can see Indonesia government only take it seriously when the athletes got medal. So they give so much money. Barely sponsor even from gov during the training. Except for Badminton, because they have many sponsor from local company.
Wow that is a lot of good stuff. But anyone who wins a medal especially a gold medal deserves to have their efforts be rewarded. But just one question: why specifically flights to japan tho? Why not just give a free plane ride to anywhere in the world 😅
@@melzer1377 cause they got their gold medal there
Wow
Its confirmed that Hidilyn Diaz’s prize money is not going to be taxed.
Sponsor will take 20% i think
Above $ 1m approximately 😁 no taxes
😕
Plus property (House and lot/land) and brand new car... They were never mentioned.
She also got 1 condo unit, a house and lot and a car.
India doesn’t have a fixed policy but the gold medalist in Tokyo olympics got 1.5 million USD+ in total from various organisations
Don’t lie Indians only receive curry dish but extra spicy as an award lol

@@navigation4653 actually dude govt did,nt give him that much but that guy got over 20 crore [3 million usd] in total and some cars from private firm simply spaking a lot of money. i hope all atletes get enough money because hardwork they put is a lot. and it,s quite rude how you percive a diffrent country . anyway that shows your level and what kind of person you are
This is bullsh*t that they don't get paid for qualifying and being in the Olympics! It takes years of hard work and sweat to reach these levels of professionalism
louder for the people the privileged people in front
Actually athletes who didn't get any medal but qualified for the Olympics in the Philippines gets $9,000 from the government
Here in the Philippines it will be different. Every athlete who qualified for the Olympics will receive Php500,000 (close to US$10,000) incentive (from the government and private corporations). Our country's Olympic delegation has shown its best performance just yet. While others didn't win medals, they otherwise managed to break their personal-best and national records.
Qualifying in the Olympics is quite a hurdle already.
I hope that’s not true
@@juliemichael3619 THATS TRUE AND PART OF EXECUTIVE ORDER BY THE PRESIDENT.
HIDILYN DIAZ BILL also in the house of representatives for final reading, and will be enacted to as a LAW.
The law will waive the cash rewards and incentives from Tax :).
Actually neeraj chopra(gold medallist) who got his first gold in tokyo 2020 olympics, received approximately 3 million usd in total.
Yup tells you how much research they did while putting this video.
@@amanthakur95 bhot sources hai aur brand ambassador bhi hoga toh samjlo ab
1 person said 1 million, another comment said 2 million, not you're saying 3 million. I may reach a billion if I continue reading the comments
Indian athletes get way more money for winning medals at the olympics. They get as much as 2.5 mil USD for a gold medal ~1.2 mil USD for silver and ~550K USD for a bronze, the numbers vary as different states in India pay different amounts to the athletes

Which is still not enough for the joy he gave to 1.2 billion people in india 🇮🇳 . Respect to all the atheletes 🙏🏼
@@sayedibrahimi9186 lmao.. he's getting even more than what i have mentioned 😊
I was quite confused though. Hidilyn Gold medal was the Philippines first gold but it’s not the first medal. The Philippines has 14 medals but never a gold in 97 years.
kaya nga "It's 1st medal" daw in almost 100 years.
Meron na tayung isang gold medal noong sa 1988 soul olympic sa bowling pero hinde yun binilang dahil pinag iisipan pa noon kung isasali yung bowling sa sport ng olympic e hinde naman sinali so baliwala din yung isang gold.......
As a singaporean, today I learned that I could've made more money trying to be an Olympian than getting a degree
Well only if you made it till gold.if you fail then you won't get anything
But then again, how many people actually get to win medals in the olympic? Plus the fact that it only comes around once every four years. You'd be living in poverty just waiting for that medal lol.
U need to put a lot of investment for your training , your nutrition , and the most important thing is , U need to get medals to get the money
What if you get medals on every Olympic. You'll be a Millionaire. 🤑
Getting a degree is easier than being an olympic champion.
neeraj chopra ( javeline thrower gold medalist) from india won around ₹10 cr (=1.3 million dollars) , a suv and 1 year free travel from various governments and companies

P.S. It's not included in the video, but I've read in the news that 2020 PH gold medalist also received two real estates, a city condo and a house in her hometown.
Notice how the U.S isn't on this list. Ronda Rousey actually had to sleep in her car during the Beijing Olympics
That doesn’t make sense
I too saw that documentary
I thought they live in the Olympic village during the games. Why was she sleeping in her car?
@@Lovedhurtlost Olympic village is a dormitory basically. So you need to pay a hefty security deposit as well as other fees. It's not free room and board like you'd expect. The Olympic committee is relentless.
Tig Manzueta wow, that’s crazy. I thought practically everything was paid for by the country you were representing.
Malaysian here...You have to remember that 236k money only the beginning, the money will go up as a Sultan also will also give another money and state government which athlete born also will give some money....Athlete will be receive 400k and above if they bring gold medal ...If it silver it will be around 200k dollar and above
This is not Philippines first medal in nearly 100 years.. first gold, yes
i didnt even know we have representatives in the olympics. i thought the past two olympics were the first.
@@aj-sz8mu stop watching PBA
Well aren't you just a smarty pants...pppfft!
@@jontillas1496 nope. i dont watch any sports. but going through life as a kid in the Philippines, its never been taught to me in school or even heard it from the news. Even though i hear about every fight Pacquiao has.
They did said "first ever gold medal...".
Now do a comparison for what that amount means in their economy, not just the $USD equivalency. Or at least share the median income in each nation.
In the Philippines, 600K USD is equivalent to 30M PHP. That’s a lot of money. The minimum wage here is around 500PHP per day. It will take you approx. 160years before getting that 30M. Tho you can easily spend that 30M in just a day. Lol
@@noldeeshots yes if you worked.just and employee for the rest of your career life.
Meanwhile in Sweden, the gold medalist gets a mascot plushy. Nothing more.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Atleast they gain fame and hopefully bring in sponsorship
pls-what
If I was an athlete in Sweden, I wouldn't even try tbh.
Looks like CNBC knows nothing about Indian Olympians who are paid way more than 1 million US dollars for the gold medal by the central govt. plus land and more prize money by the particular state govt. To which the player belongs , and auto companies offer cars as gift too.
true
Lmao STFU man
@@sayedibrahimi9186 why?
Indonesia gives 5 Billion IDR (±347k USD) for Gold medalist since 2016 Rio, 2 Billion IDR for Silver and 1 Billion IDR for Bronze
Edit: all money doesn't get taxed, And for the gold medalist this year they also got another 500 million idr, a house and an apartment, and many more😂
The Philippines first ever Gold took home as well 2 brand new house and lot, brand new car, yearly petrol allowance, yearly airlines miles, brand new condominium unit in one of the posh district of the country and a presidential medal of merit. All her hardwork indeed paid off.
Good. Dont repeat Indonesia's mistake in the past. We cheated our olympics medalists their money some of them even moved out to play for another country.
Omg they give their time, blood, sweat, tears, their lives……..and then the government taxes them. Wow, just wow.
Even bronze medalists in India are getting close to a million dollars in total.
Same as in the philippines.
In Serbia they give out pension starting from age 40 and it is 3x the average salary.
For real?!?!

What's heartbreaking, they use their own money for training, to pay their coaches, doctor, nutritionist, and physicists. They are broke. They totally deserve to be compensated by their government.
In my country Philippines, I have less hope that the medallist will get paid, the government is just all talk but they don't walk the talk.
You're an obvious troll. Watch first before typing any comment. ✌🏼
@@antonioquebec7013 most of the support are from private sectors
@@diamant6022 Yep. Most of it but not all. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that this comment said that the government is just all talk with no talk. It's like saying that the government didn't gave anything at all.
@@antonioquebec7013 maybe you're right, maybe he's right. What we know for now is that the promise to Onyok noon when he won a silver medal was not fully given, but it doesn't mean it would be the same for Hidilyn. Mababash ng bongga yung di tutupad sa pledge nila, lalo na daming online na Pinoy. We'll see in the future, and I'm hoping na the incentives will be given kasi she very much deserves it.
Edit: We can say na our government can walk the talk once nakuha na nya ung money. For now, let's cross our fingers and hope for the best. Peace and love sa lahat ❤️
@@darklord6357 True. Hopefully what happened to Onyok will not happen again to Hidilyn or any of our athletes. We all know the hard work they've given to get those medals.

Hahaha I'm thinking of weightlifting 😄
No matter what you do, you won't be qualified for Olympics in 2023 because there will be no Olympics in 2023 🤦
From my country an athlete won a silver in weightlifting and she got free pizzas for entire life
If you can get local companies to donate a mil for survivor winners every year. These countries should give these athletes every four years more
Now I understand why some athletes transfer their allegeance 🤷🏾♀️😌
This is true specially with athletes with dual citizenship. They rather compete on country who gave more reward for a medal. The difference of 200k usd vs 30k usd is huge.
Philippine monetary token for those athletes who win in Tokyo Olympics are crazy... like Hidilyn Diaz Gold she takes around more than 70 millions pesos including House and lot and with brand new car with free lifetime air Asia travel and many more ❤🙏💐🎉🎊 CONGRATULATIONS to all athletes.. all hard work was paid off.🥳
In India - the sole gold winner in 2021 olympics was awarded nearly a million dollars, a car, a house and a high ranking government job.
Correction - Just under 2M USD.
Imagine if Michael Phelps was born in Singapore lol
i don't think he won't get medals if he was born in sg.. since the support and training in sg isn't as developed as in US,.and all of his teammates and training programmes will be only in SEA games level.
he earned more from sponsorship deal
Then he would not have even chosen swimming as a career.
And then, there are footballer players (soccer) who roll around with smallest touches with agony and earn more in a month, then these athletes.
U r stupid.
Football is the most popular sport on earth and most competitive.
@@sarabjitsingh9260 full of drama queens too. Of course they deserve more money for their Oscar-winning actings, many people don't get it 🙄

Fans pay them though.
They get too much because of massive sponership most popular game in earth too many watches it ... Too many gambling companies 😃
2:34 "Heightened Prestige" for athletes instead of "notoriety" is more fitting. The prestige is definitely priceless, sponsorships for life.
Indian athletes get paid cash awards by state govts. and not central otherwise you could have added them. For eg: Neeraj Chopra who won gold this year received a total of nearly 15+ crores from various states.
Yeah, Neeraj Chopra got approximately 2 Million USD (15 Crore INR)

Why is the music in this video sound like Marvel music. Like getting paid is pretty epic, but the music made it sound so much more exciting lol
this type of trending news template sucks, i cant bare this
That's nice that they get an extra incentive
Hidilyn Diaz’ cumulative incentives and rewards are projected to reach up to $2M (P100M), tax free!
In the UK, I believe it is an upgrade from economy class on plane home!
Then fingers crossed that the sport gets funding for the next 4 year cycle to continue training.
A lot of UK athletes have to crowd fund just to train, and get to competitions to qualify and even attend the Olympics.
The most they receive is usually an MBE, and if lucky an invite to commentate for TV, maybe a book deal and chat show appearances.
UK athletes compete for the love of the sport not money, well that is what our government tends to think!
Ouch that's sad 🥇
Hidilyn Diaz, our Philippines first Olympic gold medalist is now a $1.5 million richer. I hope that the government and the private sponsors will give this prizes to her. Our former silver medalist Onyok Velasco had a sad fate. Not all of his prizes are given to him. He does not have received a land title and a scholarship for kids.
U got it wrong.. Malaysia had two Olympic gold medallist in the past Paralympic Olympics.
Those are two different events. Paralympic Games & Olympics games.
@@iamem8226 and unlike you I don't adopt the attitude of differentiating them cos they are still Olympian regardless of their condition.
lol. relax there saint, I’m just stating facts.
@@soothingmoments2139 same job, just different companies. Look at it like this: If you get paid for a higher position in your company, you definitely won’t get paid by another company since you aren’t their employee.
Sorry to break your bubble, but the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are 2 different events
Two years? Olympics are held every four years.
These prize money awards are no where even close to the money being awarded in India to medal winners. Around US$ 2 Million to Gold, US$ 1 Million to Silver and US$ 0.75 to Bronze were awarded to Tokyo 2020 winners here in India. Ref: All News Sources in India or just check Wikipedia page of Individual winners for prize money list.

You missed one!. Indonesia gave 500 thousand Sing Dollar to the winner of Gold Medal.
Why's the music so epic tho 😭
I'm sure all these professional athletes will be compensated very well than the amount listed, through sponsorships and advertisements. Congrats Champions! Well deserved.
One of the hardest ways I can think of to earn that kind of money. I don't think this drives them...though I'm sure if they are successful that the sponsorship deals make sure they are comfortable for a long time after they retire.
What is the bg music? It’s amazing!
Every 2 years? I presume typo.
Winter and summer Olympic. So yeah, it’s every 2 years but alternate the summer and winter games
Neeraj has been rewarded 805000 USD, first class govt jobs, land at 50% price and head of athletes training if he wants too😂

Don’t lie Indians only receive carry dish but extra spicy as an award lol
In India gold medalist has got 2 million USD as of now with other benefits like free air travel,Class 1 grade job,SUV,promotions,and tons of respect from countrymen.
Jamaica needs to follow suit and pay their athletes for representing them at the highest level. None of their athletes, medal winners or not get paid.
Philippines gold medalists now have a total of $1 million dollars in gifts and government incentives and a premium condominium unit plus a house and 2 cars and unlimited gas unlimited air travel and unlimited milk tea 🍵 🥛 😁

Majority of Hidilyn's prizes are from PRIVATE Companies...which she really deserve...
In India, the gold medalists get more than a million dollars, highest administrative jobs, their own sports academy and many more perks and rewards.
1:43 "and its first medal in nearly 100 years"

Each of the women's badminton pair gets around 350k on top of 2 houses and 2 apartments (each), empty land, free flights, and many more, though it's not all from the goverment (the gov gives the lands), but from private companies
They should not be taxed as they bring glory and proud moments for mother land🙏
Alright time to be a athlete in those countries!
of course these countries would offer high amount of $$$, literally the chance of any of their citizen winning gold is almost close to 0... 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Here in India 🇮🇳 our gold medalist Neeraj Chopra in javelin throw is going to get total monetary prize as $7 million dollar. Like a million dollar throw
Indian government in addition with money($150,000 for gold) also provides them government jobs, although they really don't need to much work.
For Uzbekistan, if you win a gold medal, you will receive $200,000 in cash, a Chevrolet Tahoe ($80,000) and a big mansion ( $200,000) .
Well Niraj chopra Won like 1M USD :) (from all the organisation)
in India it goes from 500k to 1+ mil USD
First medal in nearly one hundred years? Onyok Velasco won silver in Atlanta, right?
should be first GOLD medal in a hundred years
Indian gold medalist just got more than 2 million USD this is not even on the list
In Serbia government pay gold with 70 000e, silver 60 000e and bronze 50 000e plus all medalist after 45years get "sport" retirement (now is around 1300e)
In my country Antarctica we give our gold medalist a igloo house couple of polar bears and a lifetime supply of ice blocks
In Saudi Arabia, Tarik hamdi won our first silver medal in 2021 and was given 1.5 million USD
Singapore spent $0 for their athletes in the Tokyo Olympics this year.
Saudi Arabia gave it’s silver medalist in Karate 5 million Riyals equivalent to 1.33 million usd
They put a lit of time and money.they deserve more
*India gives the best award for Olympic medallist*
This is a fact
Pay people more
So many athletes delivering meals
Don’t most of them have endorsement deals? I would think they are doing fine. Otherwise they wouldn’t do it. People gotta make a living.
the Olympics original intension was to provide the Venue for amateur athletes to compete. amateurs not professionals.
this is why i do not watch Olympic hockey, or basketball as these teams are stacked with professionals.
@@johnny316b Can’t amateurs get endorsements too?
@@Cheddar012181 sure, but why would they get picked for the national team if theres a massive lineup of huge professional athletes to choose from. i believe that is johnnys point, that athletes from certain high profile sports dont necessarily NEED payment, they get more than that on endorsements alone, and it's a big waste of tax money in most cases.
Which song is in the background?
Hidilyn and PH medalists deserve the prizes they got especially there is a lack of funding for Philippine athletes.
Congrats to Philippines
If India was included in the list, it would certainly take the first spot. In India, they'll shower you with money if you win any medal and for gold, you'll get twice or even thrice the money that the top countries give.
Other countries: prize money/recognition
China -
Gold: ok

Neeraj Chopra the Indian gold medallist has already earned 12 crore INR approx 1.7 million USD
Well, Indian Gold Medalist got more than 2 Million Dollars (15 Crore INR) from various Indian state Governments and sports authorities.
