In the popular Netflix series “Squid Game,” contestants risk their lives for a chance to win a massive cash prize. But how much is really at stake? The show’s prize money has been calculated, and here are the results.
The total prize pot in USD equivalent is approximately $31 million, with each player’s life valued at around $67,851. However, this amount increases as the season progresses due to a new twist: voting that allows players to end the games early and split the prize money among themselves.
Initially, before the first vote, each player can expect to take home around $17,000. After the second vote, their cut would be around $54,000, while the third vote increases it to over $241,000 per person. However, the exact amount varies based on how many players decide to leave at each stage.
Despite the increasing prize money, some contestants may choose not to participate due to the risk involved. The show’s creators have confirmed that a third season will continue the games, leaving fans wondering what’s in store for the next installment of “Squid Game.”
