So we saw on the podium that first place takes home $285k in the form of a giant novelty cheque - but there is prize money all the way down to 20th place as well (taking home $5k).
On top of that you win prize money for placing in each individual event. $3k for first, $2k for second and $1k for 3rd.
So I got curious and calculated the top 5 guys and girls and their winnings. Prize money for each overall position is $285k for first, $100k for second, $70k for third, $45k for fourth and $30k for fifth. So lets add that up along with their event placings.
MEN
MATT FRASER - $306,000 4 x 1st place, 4 x 2nd place, 1 x 3rd place
BRENT FIKOWSKI - $109,000 2 x 1st place, 3 x 3rd place
RICKY GARRARD - $76,000 2 x 1st place
PATRICK VELLNER - $51,000 1 x 1st place, 1 x 2nd place, 1 x 3rd place
NOAH OHLSEN - $31,000 1 x 3rd place
WOMEN
TIA-CLAIR TOOMEY - $298,000 2 x 1st place, 3 x 2nd place, 1 x 3rd place
KARA WEBB - $113,000 3 x 1st place, 2 x 2nd place
ANNIE THORISDOTTIR - $77,000 2 x 2nd place, 3 x 3rd place
SARA SIGMUNDSDOTTIR - $50,000 1 x 1st place, 2 x 3rd place
KATRIN DAVIDSDOTTIR - $37,000 2 x 1st place, 1 x 3rd place
I was honestly surprised to see so much prize money, really happy for the athletes. For more details (and my source) on the prize money check here.
