The payout for Olympic athletes winning gold in different countries are wild 🤯

[BobbieTheFish]

No wonder Phelps won all those medals, he was just trying to pay rent!

[bones]

For countries that rarely get gold medals or even one medal in the Olympics, it makes sense to compensate their medallists a lot.

[alexanderednie]

37k is not enough to train as a world class athlete. Not even close.

[AGYB]

“amateur athletes” they in the damn olympics 😂

edit: im not saying they aren’t amateurs, the ladies right, it just doesn’t seem right to call someone representing your country in a sport, an amateur.

75% of American Olympic medalists receive sponsorship deals, which ranges from $10k to $100k. American athletes are working for substandard tips and amazingly they're still pulling medals. I'm ashamed of my country but proud of our athletes.

[brian-usvw]

You forget ... these gold medal winners in USA have huge sponsors/sponsorship worth millions

[WorryDontAbout]

All their travel costs? lol WTH kind of take is that

In India you're straight up becoming a millionaire if you win any Medal in Olympics.
Central Government+State Government+ Gift from Anand Mahindra+ Brand Endorsements.

[thelmajohn]

In India, every company under the sun from cement to toothpaste will sign you 😂

[Lifeafter]

Every country should pay for their athletes costs. That’s a shame it isn’t being done.

The author of this video failed to mention ENTIRETY of what a Polish gold medalist receives: about $63000 + two-bedroom condo/flat + painting + diamond + travel voucher + monthly stipend while remaining a professional athlete + monthly pension of about $1000 after reaching age of 40 + sponsorship deals. Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

[bor]

Poland for winning the gold medal gives $63628 + a two-bedroom flat + a diamond + a painting + a holiday voucher.

[bnvcwsn]

Philippines $172k + 1 house &lot + 1 condo unit worth $414k

[uzbekistannews]

In Uzbekistan
Gold-200k and house
Silver-100k and car
Bronze-50k and car

In kenya u get a traditional dance at the aiport n lunch with the president thn u go home with a public bus😂😂😂

[vihaankerkar]

If you get a gold in India, you are a GOD for the rest of your life

[allakashivakumar]

In India, its will be easily $ 5-10 millions per gold - including sponsorship and cash prizes

[NexieeeJean]

In Philippines, the most recent gold medalist (Carlos Yulo) would even be paid higher. As of the most recent computation, *it would sum up to FREAKIN' $901, 557* 😳 not to mention the flooding lifetime-worth offers and vouchers he got.

Well deserved either way, he was the country's second gold medalist since 1924 ❤️ clinching 2 golds at the Paris Olympics!

[alexandrugeorge]

In Romania you get 140k € for gold, 100k € for silver and 60k € for bronze. On top of that, a former tenis champion that is a billionaire now will give every gold medalist a new hyundai ioniq 5 electric vehicle.

[caseyleirer]

Don’t defend 37k for an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL!? wtf are you talking about? We are the richest country in the world, and we’re exploiting athletes. Theyre broke and starving because they’ve dedicated their lives to their craft, and our reward for them is slightly higher than a minimum wage yearly salary
