While generous, it is 75% smaller than the bonus given to Olympic gold medalists from the city state.
Silver Olympic medalists are given considerably larger bonuses – HK$3 million (around $386,000) – than gold Paralympic medalists from Hong Kong.
The United States is comparatively less generous, awarding $37,500 to both Olympic and Paralympic gold medalists.
Lithuanian Paralympic champions currently receive a bonus of €83,875 (around $94,000), which is exactly half what Olympic champions from the nation received.
However, it has not been decided if this will be achieved by increasing Paralympic bonuses or by decreasing bonuses for Olympic gold medalists.
