The Wimbledon singles champions will win £2.25m this year with organisers announcing the total prize pot will increase by 7.6% to £34m.
Last year's winners Roger Federer and Garbine Muguruza took home £2.2m from the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.
The total prize money is more than the 55m Australian dollars (£30m) offered by the Australian Open in January but slightly less than the French Open (£34.5m), starting later this month.
Wimbledon runs from 2 to 15 July.
