Lola Montez hit the top of the professional figure bodybuilding game in September 2026 with her first Figure Olympia title, having been a regular on the big stage over the years. Her win came with a cheque for $50k, on top of the $20k she took home in 2025 when she finished 2nd.
The two Olympia results alone are worth $70k in documented prize money. Her total career earnings are unknown, as there is no public record of all the competition prize money, sponsorship money, and other business income. Here's a closer look at Montez’s competition record, financials, and rise to the top of the women’s figure bodybuilding world.
Her competitive career started in amateur bodybuilding. In 2018, she won her class at the Arnold Amateur, and that earned her a professional spot. She made her pro debut at the Toronto Pro Supershow that year, finishing 12th.
Montez established herself as a consistent contender through a series of pro wins and multiple appearances in the top ranks at the Figure Olympia.
These figures establish at least $70k in Olympia prize money over the two seasons. They don't represent her total career earnings.
Montez has also taken out a number of pro competitions, including the Lenda Murray Pro, the Lenda Murray Norfolk Pro, the Boston Pro, the Arnold Classic UK, the Toronto Pro Supershow and the Pittsburgh Pro. That would have added to the pot in terms of prize money, but to establish a firm total you'd need the actual verified payouts from each of those events.
Sponsorships, fitness deals, guest appearances, and the like could be a source of extra income. Of course, without any publicly disclosed contracts or financials, we'd be guessing as to the actual value of those.
Her early pro results were a 12th-place finish at the 2018 Toronto Pro Supershow and a win at the 2019 Lenda Murray Pro. She then won the Lenda Murray Norfolk Pro in 2021.
The 2022 season was a very successful one with wins at the Boston Pro and the Arnold Classic UK. She picked up the Toronto Pro Supershow title in 2023.
These results established Montez as a legitimate Figure contender and went a long way towards establishing the competitive consistency that would eventually see him achieve success at Olympia.
The sequence shows continued improvement against the elite rather than success based on a single event.
The 2026 Figure Olympia (in Las Vegas in September) was the pinnacle of Montez’s career.
Montez took home $50k, and her status as the division’s reigning Olympia champion was confirmed. That was a big jump from the $20k she had taken home as runner-up the year before.
For Montez, winning the Olympia title would be a statement of her competitive status. Her future prize money and future commercial earnings, of course, are all uncertain without the contracts, event money, and financials to confirm that.
Her net worth is likewise not known. Prize money is only one element of an athlete’s income, and the amount that actually comes home will be affected by the costs of coaching, travel, nutrition, training, and the various other aspects of competition preparation.
The most defensible position is that Montez has in fact earned at least $70k in documented Figure Olympia prize money in 2025 and 2026. Her total career earnings may be considerably higher, but we simply can't establish a complete total from the public records available.
Her progression from 2018 Arnold Amateur to 2026 Figure Olympia Champion is the most telling measure of her professional ascent.
