Gabby Thomas is living the dream after her sensational success at the Paris Olympics. She didn’t just set the track ablaze with her lightning-fast 21.83s in the 200-meter dash, which earned her a shiny gold medal, but she’s also raking in some serious dough—thanks to Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams’s husband. Ohanian’s latest brainchild? An all-women track and field meet called ‘Athlos,’ kicking off on September 26 at the iconic Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island. The event is dishing out a massive $60,000 prize for the winner. But here’s the juicy part: there was an extra sweetener for the 36 athletes competing at Athlos who also strutted their stuff in Paris!

Ohanian threw in a golden nugget: win a gold medal at the Olympics, and he’d throw another $60,000 your way. While soaking up the magic at Disneyland Paris, Ohanian couldn’t resist sharing the news. He posted a video on X, saying, “Olympic Track & Field starts today (good luck, @vmfraley!) 🥇 And to the 36 women running my @athlos NYC event September 26 for a record-breaking top prize of $60K — I’ll also pay you $60K if you win a gold medal here in #Paris2024💪.”

Gabby Thomas, who’s set to compete at Athlos, didn’t just take home one gold from Paris—she snagged three, thanks to her victories in the 200m, the 4x100m relay, and the 4x400m relay. And you know what that means? Ohanian owes her a cool $180,000. After her 200m win, Ohanian jumped back on X to say, “And I owe her $60K for that Gold Medal Bounty🥇.” That’s $60K per gold, folks, so those three medals raked in a whopping $180K from the Reddit co-founder.

But wait, there’s more! Gabby’s gold rush didn’t stop there. She also scooped up $50,000 from World Athletics for her gold and another $37,500 from the Olympic Committee. And if that’s not enough to make you dizzy, former NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson are throwing in $25,000 each to every Team USA track athlete who bags a gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. But the cash train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

According to a post on X by Rori Dunk, athletes can seriously cash in at top track meets: $100,000 at Grand Slam Track, $70,000 at World Athletics Championships, $60,000 at Athlos, and $10,000 at the Diamond League, which amounts to nearly $230K. With all this in the mix, Gabby Thomas’s total haul is looking mighty fine.

With her Olympic gold medals, the prize money from upcoming meets like Grand Slam Track, Athlos, and the World Championships, Gabby could pocket a jaw-dropping $230,000. And when you add the $180,000 from Ohanian’s gold medal promise and $150,000 from Sharpe and Johnson, well, let’s just say Gabby’s got her bank account doing some serious ChaChing!

Gabby Thomas All Pumped Up for Alexis Ohanian’s Athlos

With all that prize money rolling in—especially from Alexis Ohanian—Gabby Thomas could be excused for kicking back and relaxing after her dazzling performance at the Paris Olympics. But no, Paris is already in the rearview mirror, and Gabby’s got her sights set on her next big challenge: the upcoming Athlos event on September 26. You might think she deserves a break after her exhilarating time in Paris, and she did mention a five-week breather, but it looks like Gabby is ready to hit the ground running once again. In an Instagram story, she gave fans a peek into her plans, writing, “Back at it today! Next race ➡️ @athlos in New York on September 26 🤗.”

Gabby’s excitement for Athlos is off the charts. In another Instagram story, she shared a conversation with someone about the event, captioning it, “Yes, we’re talking about @athlos.” The other person enthusiastically wrote, “This is going to literally be the track event of the year,” to which Gabby cheekily replied, “And that’s counting the Olympics 😂.” The person responded with a playful, “No deada**.”

It’s clear that Gabby is fired up for Athlos, and with her hint that this event could rival the Olympics in grandness, we’re all set for another Gabby Thomas spectacle this September. She’s not just showing up—she’s gunning for victory and that alluring prize money Alexis Ohanian has on the table. Buckle up, because it’s going to be one heck of a race!
