Question: How much money does an American athlete earn from the U.S. Olympic Committee for winning a gold medal in the Olympics? Answer: The U.S. Olympic Committee pays out a $25,000 bonus per gold medal, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. The money does not come from the U.S. government. The U.S. Olympic Committee gets its money from the sale of broadcast rights, licensing and trademark income, and corporate sponsorships. Those bonuses pale in comparison to some other nations – Russia pays $114,000 for a gold, and Kazakhstan leads the list with a $250,000 gold medal bonus. 4% $5,000 26% $25,000 10% $50,000 60% Nothing
