do gold medalists have to pay taxes
Previously, the victory tax was applied to all medalists' reward money and the value of their medals. During the last Olympics, gold medalists received a sum of $25,000, silver medalists raked in $15,000, and bronze winners collect $10,000 â all of which were taxed as income. Meanwhile the value of medals were roughly $600 for gold, $300 for silver, and only $4 for bronze (which are mostly made out of copper).
