Normally it's around 40-50k star balloons in total prize pool for major proleague. So each winner gets a quarter of that which is around 10k star balloons.
(10k star balloons roughly equals 1 million won, which was almost 1k usd several years ago but I think is only 800 usd now)
What is even more insane is that they crowdfund it in 15 minutes, every day. I'm always perplexed how the Koreans have so much money, but if you think about it, every day there are at least 20k viewers of BW in Korea so on average if if each one chips in 1$ per day, job done!

Koreans on average just donate MUCH more money per person compared to foreign viewerbases. An example being the female dance/talk streamers. They have donation incentives going and some of them rake in 20000 balloons in 30 minutes of stream time. Then for the Brood war streamers there's also a lot of very wealthy fans who have been BIG fans since the Kespa days who absolutely love throwing a couple thousand at proleagues.
For example, if I recall correctly, Moonlight league recently had 1 big donor throwing like 800$+ into the price pool.
