Tom Walsh managed to win a total of $184,900 while a contestant on Jeopardy! in 2004. He went on to compete in a tournament, in which he won another $236,900. Walsh later shared: “My winnings are allowing me to support work that helps people in the developing world, such as education for refugees from Burma, and microcredit for people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. It’s amazing that Jeopardy! could end up being a blessing to people on the far side of the world, but it is!”
