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.

Reminder of how the prize money works here.Note: We assume that relay prize money gets divided amongst prelims and finals swimmers.

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.
-We’ve made the assumption that the four members of finals relays share the money equally. There is no rule about how money should be divided between members of a relay, so we’ll never officially know how much is awarded to each athlete, so we’re using this estimate.
