    'Drag Race' 14 Raises Prize to $150,000, Adds Money For Runner Up

    Angeria Paris VanMicheals, Bosco, Daya Betty, Lady Camden and Willow Pillow on RuPaul's Drag Race season 14

    Start your engines, because the winner and runner-up of RuPaul's Drag Race season 14 will make more money than any other queen in herstory.

    VH1 has announced that the winner of Drag Race season 14 will earn a record-breaking grand prize of $150,000 - a 50% increase from past seasons. The show is now also adding a cash prize for the runner-up of the season worth $50,000. Historically, there has never been a cash prize for runners-up on Drag Race, making this a first for the series. When it comes to Miss Congeniality, the cash prize of $10,000 will still be awarded to the winner of the title.

    Scroll through to see a list of how much money the semifinalists have already made on Drag Race season 14. And tune in to watch the grand finale on Friday, April 22 at 8pm on VH1.
