US EditionOlympic leader Bach got 10% raise in 2024 payment that trails far behind soccer's elected leaders
- In 2024, Thomas Bach received a salary of $350,000 from the International Olympic Committee, marking a 10% increase following two years without a raise.
- This raise followed a freeze that started after Bach's 2021 reelection and was decided under IOC ethics commission principles limiting financial benefit from the presidency.
- Bach, a 71-year-old German lawyer elected in 2013, receives living allowances and serves full-time, yet his pay remains far below soccer's top leaders.
- By comparison, FIFA president Gianni Infantino earned $5.2 million last year, and UEFA leader Aleksander Ceferin made nearly $4.3 million, including $300,000 from FIFA.
- Bach will hand over to Kirsty Coventry, the 41-year-old two-time Olympic champion and first female African IOC leader, who reportedly may not draw a salary.
