If we just assume that the contestant risks exactly how much the clue is originally worth on the Daily Doubles and they risk all their winning and get the clue correct in Final Jeopardy, here is the addition problem (In Dollars):
'Single' Jeopardy:
(200+400+600+800+1000)x6
Double Jeopardy:
(400+800+1200+1600+2000)x6
Final Jeopardy:
All that x2
[(200+400+600+800+1000)x6]+[(400+800+1200+1600+2000)x6]x2
=[(3000x6)+(6000x6)]x2
=(18000+36000)x2
=54000x2
=$108,000.00

What was the highest score on Wheel of Fortune?
The most that can possibly be won in a single game of Jeopardy is $566,400. In order to achieve this score, the contestant would have to answer every question correctly, of course, as well as select the Daily Double clues last in every round and wager everything. (They'll need some extra luck there, as the Daily Doubles would need to be under $200 squares in round 1 and $400 squares in round 2.) They would also need to wager everything in the Final Jeopardy round.In April 2019, James Holzhauer set the single-game winnings record with $131,127.

The current champion, on the left-hand side, selects a category and a dollar amount, at which the answer for the clue is read. After the host finishes reading the clue, the first contestant to ring in gets to provide the response, which must be in the form of a question.

After all the clues are cleared or time runs out, there is a second round, the Double Jeopardy round, where dollar amounts range from $400-$2,000 in $400 increments, and there are two Daily Doubles on the board. After this round is the Final Jeopardy round, where the contestants are shown a category, and can wager anything from $0 to their entire winnings.

What is the highest amount of money a person can win on Jeopardy?
While the Jeopardy Journal may have had an answer the show has 2 sets of 30 questions and a final question at the end of the show. The journal may had meant that the record for answers was 23 out of the 30 possible in each section was the best that had been done and not what was possible based on the math involved of 30 X 2 + 1 = 61. The question does not even limit it to a single contestant or that they were correct answers so the number could be even higher if wrong answers were counted. Also Jeopardy requires responses to be in the form of a question According to the Jeopardy journal from the producers archives, total number is 23.

What is the most money made on Jeopardy?
Of all the Jeopardy contestants playing non tournament final matches only 40 Games have had winners of $40,000 or more and half of those were won by Ken Jennings. If someone were actually lucky enough to have a perfect game and smart enough to answer every question first one wonders why they would be dumb enough to bet everything and risk losing it all not one, twice, or three times, but four times. Plus if the squares were to come up like suggested the odds are less than the chance of winning the powerball lottery. It's not going to happen and none will make the wager if it did. They are not even going to ring in. That they must also be first to answer the question is also part of this impossible theory that supposes that someone smart and intelligent enough would or could go against that intelligence and make those choices even if the unlikely events occurred In theory, the most that can be won on a single episode of Jeopardy is $566400 by the following calculations: The most that can be earned in the Jeopardy round is $35600 if the following criteria are met: All squares are answered correctly by the same person and the Daily Double is found on the last square opened which would have to be a $200 square. Therefore, you would have $17800 before the Jeopardy round Daily Double appeared. Wagering everything and answering it correctly would yield $35600 at the end of the first round. In the Double Jeopardy round, that same contestant must answer all questions correctly before finding the two Daily Doubles which would have to be under two of the $400 squares. Answering all questions correctly prior to the two Daily Doubles would yield an additional $35200. Add that to the $35600 earnings from the first round and you would have $70800 before answering the two Daily Doubles in the Double Jeopardy round. Wagering everything on the first Daily Double and answering correctly yields $14600. Repeating the process on the second Daily Double yields $283200 going into Final Jeopardy. Wagering everything in Final Jeopardy and answering correctly would yield $566400!
How many episodes in a row has Ken Jennings won jeopardy?
In 2004, Jennings won 74 Jeopardy! games before he was defeated by challenger Nancy Zerg on his 75th appearance. His total earnings on Jeopardy! are US $3,022,700 ($2,520,700 over his 74 wins, a $2,000 second-place prize in his 75th appearance, and a $500,000 second-place prize in the Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions).Jennings's run began during Jeopardy!'s 20th season with the episode aired on Wednesday, June 2, 2004, in which he unseated 2-time returning champion Jerry Harvey, and continued into season 21. Jennings's run was interrupted by the 2004 Kids' Week, the Tournament of Champions (aired from September 20, 2004 through October 1, 2004), and the College Championship (aired from November 10, 2004 through November 23, 2004).On November 30, 2004, Jennings's long reign as Jeopardy!champion ended when he lost his seventy-fifth game to challenger Nancy Zerg. Jennings responded incorrectly to both Double Jeopardy! Daily Doubles, losing him a combined $10,200 ($5,400 and $4,800 respectively) and taking him down to $14,400. Consequently Jennings's lead over the second-place contestant (Zerg) heading into Final Jeopardy was not insurmountable, as it had been for 65 of his previous 74 victories.(The third contestant, David Hankins, had a negative score.The Final Jeopardy! category was Business & Industry, and the answer was "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year". Zerg responded correctly with "What is H&R Block?". Her wager of $4,401 took her score to $14,401, $1 ahead of Jennings. Jennings responded with "What is FedEx?", dropping his score by $5,601 to $8,799 and unseating him as Jeopardy! champion.
What is the dollar amount of one column in jeopardy?
In the first round of Jeopardy!, also known as the Jeopardy! round, the total dollar value of one column is $3000 (five clues of $200, $400, $600, $800 and $1000). In the second round of play, also known as the Double Jeopardy! round, each square doubles in value, so one column equals a potential $6000 to be won (five clues of $400, $800, $1200, $1600 and $2000.) These are the minimum amounts to be won in each column, although there is the potential to increase those values if the Daily Double is found.
