Mr. Olympia 2025 is here, and some winners will be going home with quite the payday.
The international bodybuilding tournament is taking place this weekend in Las Vegas, Nev. This is the 61st edition, featuring champions from 11 IFBB Pro League divisions — from Men’s Open to Classic Physique — all competing for the coveted Sandow trophy and record-breaking financial rewards.
The stakes are higher than ever, driven by a purse that has grown aggressively in recent years. Headlining the weekend is the Men’s Open division, which now offers a top prize of $600,000 for the Mr. Olympia winner — the largest single cash prize in the sport’s history. The total prize pool for the event is expected to approach or exceed $2 million, reflecting a direct financial competition with other major shows and injecting unprecedented funds into the top tier of the sport.
Here’s a look at the rest of the prize money breakdown for participants.
