Here's how much Olympic athletes earn for winning medals

Olympians typically receive monetary, and sometimes non-monetary, rewards from their countries for winning a place on the podium.

For example, a gold winner for Team USA would clinch $37,500 for their efforts while their counterpart in Singapore would receive $737,000 — nearly 20 times more.

Beyond that, Olympians rely on other revenue streams for their sporting endeavors, including efforts to land lucrative endorsement deals.
