AMAZING: FIFA World Cup Winners Germany Take Home Biggest Prize Money Ever

Last night 1-0 win over Messi’s Argentina not only made Germany four-times world champions, but also enriched their Football Association with an incredible amount of cash.

This year’s FIFA World Cup is the most expensive Mundial in history in terms of largest prize money ever.
In South Africa 2010, Spain took home the prize money of $30 million after Iniesta extra time strike gave them a 1-0 win over the Netherlands.
Germany have been given $35 million for lifting the prestigious title and also get to have bragging rights.
Meanwhile, second-place Argentina will also be given $25 million for their sorrows, as the runner-up money is up from $24 million in 2010.
Third place winners, the Netherlands, take home $20 million after beating Brazil 3-0. Brazil is granted $18 million for the fourth place. Here is a full list on how FIFA distributes prize money:

Group Stage (16 eliminated teams): $8 million each
Round of 16 (eight losers): $9 million each

Quarterfinals (four losers): $14 million each
Fourth place: $18 million
Third place: $20 million
Runner-up: $24 million
Winner: $35 million

This means the Super Eagles brought Nigeria a whooping $9 million and where paid only 3 million for their troubles.
