Super Bowl Winners - Full Breakdown (Prize Money, Most Wins for a QB)

Earning a Lombardi Ain’t Easy

Ask anyone who’s ever coached or played professional football – winning the Super Bowl is no easy feat; it’s darn near impossible.

Every year, thirty-two NFL franchises from both conferences brutally compete for eighteen weeks during the regular season to qualify for one of the fourteen available postseason spots.

Then, after a Wild Card round, a Divisional round, and Conference Championships, two final teams remain—one from the AFC and the other from the NFC—and they compete for one of the most coveted prizes in professional sports, the Lombardi Trophy, given to the Super Bowl Champion of that year.

Do Winners of the Super Bowl Get Paid Extra?

It’s true: Winners of every Super Bowl also make an extra paycheck and receive a unique ring for that game.

In terms of the paycheck, it’s substantial. The winner of Super Bowl LVIII—the Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers—will receive a bonus worth $157,000. The loser will receive $82,000. This is in addition to other rounds of the postseason checks. In the Wild Card Round, teams that won a division but played in this round earned $46,500. Teams that got a first-round bye received $41,500. 

From there, teams in the Divisional Round received $46,500. Then, the teams that advance to the Conference Championship received an extra $69,000. 

The Super Bowl Winner Ring

Besides bragging rights and cash, Super Bowl winners receive an incredibly valuable ring specially designed and built for the occasion.

There are 150 rings made, with 53 given to players, then the coaches, executives, and others. The rings cost $5 million for all combined, making each worth about $36,000.

For example, when the Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV, it reportedly contained 15 carats of white diamond and 14 karat yellow and white gold. Still, the most exciting feature was a twist-off top that revealed a separate level featuring a hand-engraved, three-dimensional replica of their home field, Raymond James Stadium.

We'll have to wait until the conclusion of Super Bowl LVIII to see what it'll look like.

There are multiple reasons why just about everyone calls former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady the GOAT (greatest of all time). These reasons include his longevity, competitive energy, and willingness to get the best out of teammates. That said, his biggest claim to fame must be the number of times he’s taken his teams to the Big Game and the number of times he’s won it.
