Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 Champion Unveils Bold Plans for the $4.56 Million Prize

Perla Figuereo just walked off Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2 with $4.56 million and, honestly, a very specific spending plan. Not hoarding it. Not buying a yacht. She actually broke it down step by step.

Quick refresher: Season 2 of the Netflix reality competition, inspired by Hwang Dong-hyuk's original Squid Game, premiered November 4, 2025, and the finale dropped November 18. Figuereo, Player 072, outlasted 456 players to win it all in a finale that ended with Red Light, Green Light. Yes, the game that usually kicks things off closed the season this time. Fun twist.

How she won, who she beat

Figuereo came into the game with her brother Jeffrey, Player 283, and credits him for helping her survive the infamous Marbles round. In the finale, she faced off against Trinity (Player 398), Steven (Player 183), Vanessa (Player 017), and Dajah (Player 302) before claiming the last spot standing during that final Red Light, Green Light showdown.

What she is doing with the money

Speaking at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood after the finale, Figuereo laid out her to-do list for the prize, and it is both generous and very her:

1. Split it with her brother Jeffrey. He helped her get through Marbles, and she says she does not need the entire pot.
2. Buy her parents a house. The family immigrated to the U.S., and owning property - not stressing about rent - has been the long-time goal. She talked about their mom raising them on very little while still managing to give them food, a home, an education, and, somehow, happiness. Time to finally give her a break.
3. A personal splurge: she plans to put some of the winnings toward breast augmentation.

"No. 1 is splitting it with Jeffrey... No. 2, we are getting our mom and dad a house."

Bottom line: a rare reality TV winner who has the receipts, the family-first priorities, and, yes, one headline-grabbing cosmetic upgrade on the list. Fair enough. She earned it.
