Mr Olympia 2022 prize money breakdown: How much does winner of each category win?

The Sandow Trophy is the dream of every bodybuilder around the globe. Another dream that comes with the trophy is the right to be called Mr Olympia. The 2022 version of the competition came to an end on Sunday with the winners of each division being crowned.

Here we take a look at what the winners received in cash, along with the title and the trophy for each division in the competition.

Mr Olympia Men's Open

The most awaited event over the four days ended with Iranian giant Hadi Choopan grabbing the first place convincingly over former champion Mamdouh 'Big Ramy' Elssbiay. The latter gave everyone a shock when he finished fifth.

Big Ramy finished behind former 212 winner Derek Lunsford, Nick Walker, and Brandon Curry, who finished second, third, and fourth, respectively.

The prize pool for the Men's Open is the largest among all the competitions in the 2022 Mr Olympia with a majority of the overall budget being set aside for it. Here is the breakdown of the victors and how much they won.

• Winner — Hadi Choopan ($400,000)
• Second Place — Derek Lunsford ($150,000)
• Third Place — Nick Walker ($100,000)
• Fourth Place — Brandon Curry ($40,000)
• Fifth Place — Big Ramy ($35,000)

Classic Physique

Perhaps the second-most anticipated event at the 2022 Mr Olympia, the Classic Physique Olympia, hosts some of the most well-structured and defined bodies in the world. It is a perfect platform that displays muscle, balance, and grace.

The competition was made famous by the former and current champion Chris Bumstead. He comfortably won the competition this year again, making it his fourth straight victory. Although the competition is gaining rapid popularity, it is nowhere close to the main event.

• Winner — Chris Bumstead ($50,000)
• Second Place — Ramon Rocha Querioz ($20,000)
• Third Place — Urs Kalecinski ($10,000)
• Fourth Place — Breon Ansley ($6,000)
• Fifth Place — Mike Sommerfeld ($4,000)

212 and Men's Physique

The 212 had an empty spot at the top with former champion Derek Lunsford giving it a go for the Men's Open title. Shaun Clarida became a two-time champion as he took the opportunity and won the 212 at the 2022 Mr Olympia.

The Men's Physique Olympia title was grabbed by Erin Banks in an upset victory over the former champion Brandon Hendrickson.
