Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

This is a list of largest prize pools in Smash tournaments based on the amount of earnings distributed in United States dollars. It includes the top 10 largest prize pools in Smash tournaments over any game in the series, as well as listings for each individual game separately (including the Project M mod). Only 1v1 singles tournaments are included. Prize pool numbers are taken from Esports Earnings, a site tracking the largest prize pools for esports.

The record for largest prize pool in a Smash tournament is currently held by Smash Summit 5, with $83,758.00 for Super Smash Bros. Melee singles.
