The 74th edition of the Miss Universe pageant is set to crown a new winner in Thailand, drawing global attention to the prestigious competition. As 121 delegates, including first-time participants from Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and Mozambique, prepare for the final event, a key question arises: what does the winner receive?

The structure is designed to support the winner’s role as a global ambassador, providing both an initial fund and a steady income to manage her duties.
