At the highest level the lowest was probably ₤5 for Morphy for his match against Harrwitz and Anderssen both in 1858 and $5,000,000 sponsored by FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov for the World Championship Tournament organised in 1997.

He has weaknesses, as everyone does, but far fewer than those around him. Veselin Topalov

I personally believe that Karpov should have been more generous with Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. Kirsan is the only president in the history of FIDE, and maybe in the history of all international federations, who has contributed dozens of million dollars for the sport he loves.
