Social media personality Mia Khalifa has revealed that she won a staggering $1.65 million after correctly betting on Spain to defeat Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Khalifa attended the final in New Jersey and later shared a series of photos on Instagram celebrating both Spain's victory and her massive betting windfall.
One of the images showed that she had placed a $1 million wager on Spain to lift the trophy at odds of 1.65. Spain's 1-0 extra-time victory secured the payout. Sharing the post, Khalifa joked about her allegiance to the new world champions. She wrote, "Believed and won big.
So proud of my home country Spain (not a drop of Spanish blood in me)." Spain sealed the title thanks to an extra-time winner from Ferran Torres, ending Argentina's hopes of defending their World Cup crown. Khalifa, who was present inside the stadium, was seen celebrating from the stands after the final whistle.
The influencer had already attracted attention during the tournament after openly backing Spain and making it clear she was rooting against Argentina throughout the competition. Her social media posts sparked mixed reactions from football fans, with some praising her confidence while others questioned her outspoken support.
The former adult film actress, who now works as a social media creator and online personality, has more than 28 million Instagram followers and frequently shares content related to sports, fashion and popular culture.
