Another day, another prize money post about Gretchen Walsh.
On the final day of the 2024 World Championships, Walsh earned another $42,500 in prize money by winning gold in the 50 free and 4×100 medley relay. She also got world record bonuses in both races, taking the full $25,000 bonus in the 50 free and $6,250 for the relay, as the bonus was divided amongst four swimmers. Her total prize money number for this meet is $290,416.67.
In fact, Walsh outearned every other country in terms of prize money except for the United States, which made a total of $974,000. The second-highest earning country was Canada, which accumulated $241,000.

- Canada — $241,000
- Neutral Athletes B — $220,500
- Australia — $182,000

American swimmer Luke Hobson took a $25,000 world record bonus for the 200 free, while China’s Qin Haiyang and Hong Kong’s Siobhan Haughey got double crown bonuses for the 50 breast and 200 free respectivley.
Notes:
-NCAA swimmers can keep prize money up to their expenses; then there is a massive loophole where they can accept rewards from their National Olympic Committees, so as long as the rest of their prize money is funneled through those organizations (checks are all written to national federations, not athletes directly), it’s kosher.

Could she have gotten an extra bonus or two if the 100 fly was first? Her first 50 split was faster than the old WR
Ponti and MSH each earned extra 10000 for being recipients of the new Breakout Swimmer Award.
Doesn’t Regan also get a bonus for breaking the WR leading off the relay?
Gotta one of the greatest performances in the sports history even if it’s scm
fun fact Summer Mcintosh will be the same age as Gretchen Walsh a few weeks shy of her 22nd Birthday in LA 2028 its a nice age to peak i guess.
Who says GW has peaked?
The quesion remains… schedule issues aside, would she have been able to beat Regan and break the 50-100 backstroke records too?
Not sure why the downvotes – it’s a legit question. In 50 scm back – I’d take GW any day of the week. Her UWs are too good. Her 50y back is otherwordly. Regan’s 54.0 was phenomenal — I’d say 100 back is a tossup. GW was 54.89 at the UVA/UF dual meet. She dropped her 100IM time from that meet by 0.88 (and her 100IM at worlds was about 20 min after her 100 fly semis WR). If she did the same in 100 back, that would per her at 54.01 or literally 0.01 ahead of Regan’s new record today. flip a coin!
Does anyone know what the tax percentage is on these earnings?
Depends what her annual income has been (prize money merely gets pooled into one’s salary). If I had to hazard a guess, she’s probably paying 40% when it’s all said and done
Do people like Walsh get additional bonuses for each world record from sponsors? That would be crazy
There are definitely World Record bonuses written into many sponsorship agreements, especially from suit companies. Who and how much remains a black box.
I did a little digging into Olympic sports endorsement contracts and it really does run the gamut but most estimates put it in the 50K or more depending on the athlete (Phelps wad rumored to get $250k) Now there could be max incentives a swimmer can top out at which more than likely exist.
While I’m skeptical Walsh’s payout from endorsements will match her winnings, the possibility certainly exists, especially when you consider all of her different endorsements
