Winner Worldcup 25,6 mill euro (35 mill Dollar)
2nd place 18,3 mill euro (25 mill " " " )
Third 16,1 mill euro (22 mill " " " )
Fourth 14,6 mill euro (20 mill " " " )
Quarter finals 10,2 mill euro (14 mill " " " )
Eight finals 6,6 mill euro (9 mill " " " )
First round 5,8 mill euro (8 mill " " " )

That's fine from a financial perspective but why bother with it as a concept?
It's so lame

more prestigious i guess as third means bronze in olympics while fourth gets nothing so showing the world your third best of the world in football counts while being fourth means nothing for the rest of the world.

I hate it when a match goes to penalties, it's an undeserved win.
