The 2026 Winter Olympics are underway, and Amber Glenn is representing the United States on the ice in Milan, Italy. The Women’s Free Skate portion of the Olympics is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time, and Glenn will be there, competing for a gold medal.
Glenn is scheduled to compete in the women’s singles competition. She’ll perform in the short program and, if she gets a high enough score, will move on to the free skate. She’ll also compete in the women’s free skate in the team event. So, you may be wondering, “What is Amber Glenn’s net worth?” and “What does she make if she wins a gold medal? Let’s get into the numbers and statistics.
Amber Glenn Net Worth: What Does the Skater Make If She Wins Gold?
So, what is Amber Glenn’s net worth? The skater’s net worth in 2026 isn’t totally clear, and according to research from Forbes, Glenn is not one of the highest-paid athletes at this year’s Olympics. But, at the age of 26, she already involved in lucrative partnerships, including one with Delta Airlines, that’s ensuring she gets paid. Her visibility at the 2026 Winter Olympics will only boost her profile and net worth.
What is clear when it comes to Glenn’s paycheck is that she gets her income from a mix of prize money, brand and corporate sponsors and exhibition performances. Also, we know what she’ll make if she wins a medal at the 2026 Olympics.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, every other major world power gives retirement stipends, pensions or grants to its Olympians, but not the U.S. Instead, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee receives no federal funding and relies on other payment sources for its athletes.
The USOPC, they stated on their official website, gave $16 million in grants for stipends of 1,565 athletes in 2022. With their “Operation Gold,” an initiative started in 2017, U.S. Olympians who get medals win prize payments.
So, going by the Paris numbers, if Glenn, or any other U.S. Olympian, wins gold, they get $37,500 for every gold medal. For a silver medal, athletes get $22,500, and for a bronze medal, it’s $15,000.
“The Olympic and Paralympic Games-year operating surplus allows the USOPC to run a deficit in non-Games years and provides a consistent level of support for athletes during each year of the four-year quadrennial budget cycle,” the Committee stated on its website. They added, “Under that cycle, both revenue and expenses, which have a direct impact on supporting Team USA athletes, generally increase in Games years versus non-Games years.”
Amber Glenn Talks Mental Health Advocacy Before 2026 Winter Olympics
In an interview before the Games with former Olympian Adam Rippon, Glenn was asked what the “biggest misconception” about the U.S. figure skating team. She said that there’s often the idea they’re they’re “catty” and competitive with each other, but that there’s lots of support and friendship between the skaters.
“We kind of have the reputation for that, but I think over the last few years, we’ve really come together as a family,” Glenn said, adding that they’re “all nice girls” on the Team USA. So, it’s all smiles on the Team USA women’s figure skating roster.
