The current edition of the competition will break records in terms of the money received by the team that won the Maracaná.

The fact is that to the prestige that being champions of this competition gives the teams is added a huge amount of money, not only for whoever wins the title, but also for each of the 32 teams competing in the group stage.
The 2023 edition, which declared Fluminense champions after the 2-1 victory over Boca in the Maracaná, It is the one that handed out the most money to the participating clubs in history and the first to add an additional prize per match won during the group stage.
If you compare it to the 2022 edition, CONMEBOL increased the money available to distribute among clubs by 21%: From the $170 million it awarded last year, this was increased to the maximum 207,800,000 in 2023 (amount that would only have been fully reached if there was no draw during the group stage).
As for what corresponds to the champion, the percentage increase compared to the previous edition is relative because the total amount this time depended on the number of victories they achieved in the group stage: in 2022 Flamengo was left with 25,050,000 dollars, Fluminense obtained 27,150,000.
