TOTAL PRIZE MONEY BREAKDOWN

Olympia is looming around the corner, with more total prize money being awarded among the eight different divisions. The big granddaddy is Mr. Olympia, which will award $650,000 to the champion. The 212, Ms. Olympia, Fitness and Figure champions will take home a respectable, albeit much smaller, purse of $60,000 for each division.

joe-weiders-mr-olympia-2013-infoNow that Bikini Olympia is approaching its fourth year, with three different women having attained the titles in previous years (Sonia Gonzales in 2010, Nicole Nagrani in 2011, and Nathalia Melo in 2012), the purse has been set at $40,000 for this year.

The two newest divisions in the NPC and IFBB will enjoy their freshman year on the Olympia stage, with correspondingly small purses for Men’s Physique and $10,000 for Women’s Physique. There is no doubt that this prize money will increase in coming years as the newer divisions continue to make their mark in the bodybuilding world.

Here is a summary of the prize money for Olympia 2013:

Mr. Olympia: $650,000

212 Showdown: $60,000

Ms. Olympia: $60,000

Fitness Olympia: $60,000

Figure Olympia: $60,000

Bikini Olympia: $40,000

Men’s Physique Showdown: $10,000

Women’s Physique Showdown: $10,000

Total: $950,000
