Isaac Caldiero is officially a millionaire after making it to the final stage of the American Ninja Warrior experience. The professional rock climber was one of two competitors to make it through the grueling third stage of competition, Mt. Midoriyama.

Caldiero and cameraman Geoff Britten became the first warriors in ANW history to make it to Stage 4, which comprises of climbing a huge rope. While Britten officially completed the course, Caldiero completed it faster and won the million-dollar prize. Britten received no prize money.

While this may seem like a cruel twist of fate for Britten, American Ninja Warrior executive producer Kent Weed told The Hollywood Reporter about the official rules.

"By the rules, the money goes to the fastest person. If there's more than one finisher, the one with the fastest time gets it," he explained. "As much as the money is a wonderful prize and life changing, he does get the great gratification. I don't think he harbors any ill will about it. He's just so happy to have done what he's done. He's received tons of accolades from fans. He's such a great guy, and a family man. He's a hero to his kids and his wife. Geoff said to me, 'If I was going to be beat by someone, I'm glad it's Isaac.' And I think Isaac would have felt the same way if the roles were reversed."
