Why Ross Stevens is giving U.S. Olympians $200K in benefits... 🏅⁣ ⁣ As the 2026 Winter Olympics approach, Team USA athletes are getting a rare form of support. 🤩⁣ ⁣ Ross Stevens, founder of Stone Ridge Holdings Group, donated $100M to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation to improve athletes’ long-term financial security. 🤝⁣ ⁣ The initiative gives every U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athlete $200K in benefits per Games, a major boost in a system where athletes don’t receive government funding and most rely on sponsorships to make ends meet. 👀⁣ ⁣ The award isn’t paid upfront, but instead acts as a future nest egg, with part becoming available later in life and part guaranteed for families. 👏⁣ ⁣ As Lindsey Vonn has pointed out, even elite athletes struggle financially unless they’re at the very top. Stevens’ donation aims to change that, creating a safety net that extends well beyond the podium. 🥇⁣ ⁣ #milanocortina2026 #sportsbiz #sports
