2019 CWC Final Prize Money and How it Compares to Wimbledon Men's Singles Final Sunday July 14,2019

he total prize money for the Cricket World Cup is $10 million (Rs 69.6 crore). The winner on Sunday will receive $4 million and the runners-up will earn $2 million, the highest ever purse for a cricket world cup.
The losing semi-finalists get $800,000 each at the end of the 46-day tournament being played across 11 venues.
Although at first glance the amount may seem to be a lot, it is not really when compared to the prize money of top events of other sports around the world.
The Sunday has been dubbed as a Super Sunday as it will also see a titanic clash between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic on the grass courts of Wimbledon, London, and a Formula 1 race at the Silverstone circuit, also in London.
The Wimbledon has a total prize money of $ 49 million dollars or Rs 341 crore, nearly five times that of the ICC World Cup. The winner of the men’s or women’s singles takes home a cool $ 3.14 million.
All these figures, however, dwarf in comparison to the total prize money on offer in the FIFA World Cup 2018: a whopping $ 400 million or Rs 2,786 crore. The FIFA world cup final alone was worth more than six times the ICC World Cup, as the winners were paid $38m while the runners-up got $28m.
Here is an infographic to help you digest all this information:
