Do you get money for beating a world record?

Answer 1

Guinness World Records do not pay any money to those who break or set records.

However, they do award an official certificate of the achievement free of charge.

EDIT: The IAAF gives prive money for breaking world records in track, and I believe the world organization for swimming does the same for swimming records.

Answer 2

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Many American athletes have sponsors that basically pay for their expenses while they train. Should the athlete break a world record, sometimes they will get a lot of exposure and the sponsor will want them to make a commercial for them or do public appearances. By doing this, the athlete gets money. Some countries will reward their best athletes with automobiles and living quarters for breaking records and winning gold medals. There is no set rule as to whether someone who breaks a record is rewarded financially for it. It all would depend on the setup the athlete has with their country, athletic federation, or sponsor.
