[BUtterfield 8 40,765]

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14 will crown America’s next drag superstar on April 22 when the finale airs on VH1. With that, the winning queen will also receive a cash prize of $150,000, the highest amount awarded to date. Additionally, for the first time in the history of drag race, the runner-up will also receive $50,000 cash prize, powered by Cash App.

The season brought together 14 queens from around the world with Angeria Paris VanMicheals, Bosco, Willow Pill, Lady Camden and Daya Betty still standing on the runway in hopes of taking home the coveted crown. The latest episode airing April 8 will see the queens play catty supermodels battling for the spotlight in the music video for RuPaul’s new hit song, “Catwalk.”  Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews and Carson Kressley all return to serve as judges.

The Season 14 reunion will air on April 15, one week from the finale to reflect on highlights from the season.

April 22 will see the finalists battle it out in an extraordinary lip-sync as they compete live from the Flamingo Showroom, which is home to the “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live” show.

Finale on my birthday 

I should make a birthday wish for my favorite queen to win

[Enigma 7,182]

This is cool but it's a small upgrade 

By now the prize should be way higher and I'm scared they'll cap it there for a long time

[alsemanche 91,842]

About time they increased the prizes. Even though it should be even higher by now but yeah

[Flippy 11,575]

It will be very well-deserved to these top 2

So excited to watch the finale!

@Enigma is RuPaul's accountant and the fracking is...not going well

This with the rumored budget for queens on new seasons is great, still a bit low in my opinion but better than a dumb badge

Why are you a little bitch

I’m sorry I used scared instead of worried? Happy?

Why do you think you’re cool for not caring about things  yes I do care about entertainers I like being paid what they deserve, what’s your problem with that

The budget rumor isn't real. It was from an April Fool's episode of Race Chaser.
