“Oh my god. I had one of the greatest video calls of my life today when @Sia informed me that I was her FAVORITE #Survivor45 player and that she would be giving me a $100,000 prize.” Topps contributed to X (formerly Twitter). “I’m so deeply honored, appreciative, and honestly, still in awe.”
The “Unstoppable” singer gave $15,000 to each of Kaleb Gebrewold, a software salesman on the Lulu tribe, and Jacob “Jake” O’Kane, an attorney on Belo.

In May, Garrett—a self-described Sia fan in the top 0.1% of her Spotify listeners—posted a video of his discussion with the pop artist on Instagram, during which she revealed that she was gifting him $15,000.
