There is a bonus for every medal won, for pairs, quads and teams individually. Tamara Sebes has the most medals, three, two silver and one bronze. This will give her the biggest reward.
This is not a complete list. For example, David Losonzi offered a $15.73 million bonus for his disappointing fifth place finish for charity, because, he says, he doesn't do it for the money.
The boxing federation changed the fifth-place prize money of Luka Hamori from 15.73 million to 32.35 million because he is a boxer with an ally faith. At the same time, Richard Kovacs, who was also fifth, was suspended because, according to him, the federation does not measure the same standards between scorers.
Three years ago, Tamara Csipes took the top prize, but then the prizes were 10 percent lower. Csipes won gold in the four kayak, silver in the singles, and finished fourth in the doubles with $107.2 million. Danuta Kozak took $100 million (gold in the four kayak, bronze in the pairs, fourth place in the singles), Kristof Milak also took $100 million (gold in the 200 butterfly, silver in the 100 butterfly, fifth place in the 4×100 relay). Then Aaron Szilagyi took $78.5 million (gold in the individual sabre, bronze in the team), as did Dora Bodoni (gold in the four kayak, bronze in the two). Balint Kopaš took $71.5 million for the singles gold and fourth place in the doubles. Sándor Tótka earned $55.7 million for his gold medal in the 200 kayak and seventh place in the quad.
Olympic medalists also receive a lifetime annuity after age 35, which is adjusted according to the average annual salary determined by the Central Statistical Office. Champions get 100% of this amount, silver medalists 70%, and bronze medalists 50%. He's after every medal.
