Contrary to what many people believe, entering the Guinness Book of World Records does not have any type of economic compensation.

Therefore, you will not receive a single euro, pound or dollar for breaking a record. However, beyond the money, you do get a great recognition, besides the pride of being the best at something.

The institution's own regulations specify that those who beat an existing record, as well as those who set a new record, are not paid anything.

"As the world's foremost authority on world records, our role is to celebrate the best in the world, to inspire all people, to entertain and to inform," state Guinness World Records.

"For those reasons, we do not pay record breakers for their achievements or for making an official record title attempt. Nor can we cover any expenses, offer sponsorship or provide equipment for the performance of any official record attempt.

"In addition, we do not make contributions to individuals, charities or companies. This is in order to maintain our impartial stance as the world authority on record title registration and to ensure the inclusion of all applicants."

However, in the vast majority of cases, the protagonists of the records usually have advertisers or sponsors who finance their preparation.

The benefits outweighs money bro. Imagine being recognized anywhere you go. Having lots of endorsements. Many brands will want to attach their names to you. Imagine where you will hardly been denied visa going to any part of the world. These and many more are the benefits she stands to enjoy 👍

I've searched online and I doubt if they get paid. It's basically for the global fame and that can bring endorsements.

Record breakers do not need any monetary compensation from Guinness. If the records are worthwhile, like Hilda's, you will get endorsements, gifts, contracts etc, you will hardly be denied Visa to any country of the world. I foresee celebrities, government, companies etc throwing dangerous money at this lady and giving her crazy blank check cooking contracts aftwards. She is made already.

Note that stupid records like highest numbers of hugs in one minute or longest hours of kiss and other rubbish records will only attract paper certificate and nothing more from the public.

Let it also be noteworthy that Hilda's records are the best to come out of Nigeria if she eventually breaks it (I fear that she might collapse before breaking it sha). This feat is far greater than the longest hours of dance by Kaffy.
