Wow the 2011 Olympia Weekend prize money is increasing to $825,000. That is incredible, especially during these tough times, that the greatest bodybuilding contest weekend of the year is bringing more prize money to its athletes. $825,000. Not bad at all!
The breakdown is as follows.
Mr. Olympia $600,000 prize money. The top IFBB mens pro bodybuilding contest of the year just keeps on getting better, with Jay Cutler coming back to defend his title against Phil Heath and a ton of others who just may surprise everyone. Can Jay sustain the title? Nothing is for sure.
Mr. Olympia 202lb Showdown $25,000 prize money. This is Kevin English show to win, and with David Henry out (overseas with the United States Army on a tour of duty), we cant wait to see who else is going to rise up and challenge the winner.
Ms. Olympia $60,000 prize money. With womens bodybuilding, only the Ms Olympia continues to provide an incredible amount of money for some of the most disciplined competitors out there. Here in Las Vegas, the best of the best will be showcased.
Fitness Olympia $60,000 prize money. Some of the best and toughest competitors will be here in Las Vegas to showcase their fitness routines, which now is 2/3′s of the score. So the ones that dazzle and delight the audience with there incredible routines just may win it all!
Figure Olympia $60,000 prize money. Battle is brewing here! Defending champion Erin Stern against current Arnold winner Nicole Wilkins is going to be quite interesting. But who knows, maybe someone else just may step up, and take the title away.
Bikini Olympia $20,000. Last year was the first year of this new division, and Sonia Gonzales took the title. However, Sonia lost to Nicole Nagrani at this years Bikini International, so it is going to be a great contest as to who will come out on top. Put in Nathalia Melo, Amanda Latona and Jaime Baird, and you never know what may happen.

did you not see last yrs top 6, and you are saying, they keep getting better? jay just has to win pre-judging because the night show and posing round dont count anymore thanks to chick.
bikini girls should get more money. 20k is BS.

The night show does count - they changed it this year, due to the fact that Kai Greene didnt get a chance last year. It will be different this year for the Olympia.

You misunderstood maybe?
600k is allocated for Mr Olympia according to op. Total weekend pot seems to be 825k. 600k for MrO - rest for bums and sluts. Got it?
Bikinis and other stuff have their own prize money allocated. 600k is for MrO.

All depends on how much ticket sales, sponsorship money, etc - goes into it. Obviously, television is just not there for it.

Thanks for this prize money information......
How much of the individual's money go to the IRS and State Taxes?
And how are the foreign competitors treated tax wise?
And what "items" will the IRS allow you to deduct?
Is there any one tax expert who is well known for doing the 1040's for the top money making pros within the IFBB?

what happen to the physique division? i guess they still can't figure out the point between women's bbing and figure.

202 showdown thingy should be dropped and add that 25k for Mr Olympia.
Too much diversity causing confuse among fans and bringing MrO -status down. I mean... what's next... Mr Lightweight Olympia, Mr Bantamweight Olympia... ::)
We already have that, with the 202 class. And, now that there's a Men's fitness division, there'll probably be an Olympia for that.
Of course there used to be a lightweight Olympia (under 200 lbs). But, at least, the winner could compete with the over-200-lb class winner for the overall title. That's how Zane and Columbu got their titles.

$200,000? Interesting!!
To put this in perspective, the first show that offered six-figured prize money for first place occured nearly 20 years ago. That, of course, would be the 1991 World Bodybuilding Federation Championship, which occured on June 15, 1991.
Gary Strydom walked away with $100,000 for that win. It's taken TWO DECADES for prize money to double, a bit slow but steady.
