There are Survivor fans, and then there’s Sia — a Grammy-nominated pop star who has given away more than $1 million of her own money to numerous contestants across eight seasons. And, after a brief pause, she’s bringing back her tradition for the season 50 finale with a fan-centric twist.
The Sia Prize began in 2016 as an unofficial cash reward for players whose personal stories resonated with the “Chandelier” singer. After she surpassed the $1 million mark, host Jeff Probst put his foot down. “I’m stopping this because you’ll just keep giving money and you have a family,” he told Rolling Stone in an interview published Tuesday (May 19).
