People seem confused about World Cup pay. Each team gets paid from a total pot.

Prize money:

Women's 2019 World Cup = $30 million (~23%)
Men's 2018 World Cup = $400 million (~7%)

Now for revenue:

Women's estimate = $131 million
Men's revenue = over $6 Billion
There has been a lot of misinformation about this. People keep confusing (or intentionally conflating) U.S. team revenue with total FIFA Word Cup revenue on which these prizes are based.

The actual numbers speak for themselves.
A lot of the confusion is coming from bad reporting. Media outlets keep comparing the US women's team and the US men's team, but the comparison makes no sense with an international sport. US women's team takes higher % than their equivalent on men's side (French national team).
