Enhanced Games
Sunday, May 24, 2026 Enhanced Games Competition Complex, Resorts World, Las Vegas, NV LCM (50 Meters) Live Stream: YouTube, Roku, Rumble, Twitch, Kick Live RecapNow that the Enhanced Games are wrapped up, one of the biggest draws of the event was the money that was on the line. According to the Enhanced Games site, in total, the event paid out $6.6 million to its athletes, with the event’s highest earner coming in the pool; as Kristian Gkolomeev won $500,000 for winning a pair of events, and another $1 million for besting the 50-meter freestyle world record in 20.81.
Gkolomeev could have added another quarter of a million to his payday in the 100 free, narrowly missing the 46.40 world record in 46.60 after backing off just a bit late in the race to save himself for the bigger record payout in the 50 free.
Among other big-money winners was American Cody Miller, who won both the 50 and 100 breaststroke races, earning a life-changing half-million dollars.
Four swimmers each brought home a whopping $375,000 in earnings by winning an event and finishing runner-up in another: those being Hunter Armstrong (1st in the 50 back, 2nd in the 100 free), Megan Romano (1st in the 100 free, 2nd in the 50 free), Emily Barclay (1st in the 50 free, 2nd in the 100 free), and Ben Proud (1st in the 50 fly, 2nd in the 50 free).
As for the lower-end earners, three swimmers finished 4th, the lowest place you could finish, in both of their races. Among those three was James Magnussen, the Enhanced Games’ first athlete, who was wearing a special gold supersuit to represent that ‘first enhanced athlete’, and finished in a clear 4th in both the 50 and 100 free events. Though despite the low finishes, he still came away with $100,000 in winnings.
For a refresher on how the money works, here is a table that paints the picture.
