While there were countless celebrity appearances throughout the 2026 World Cup, few might be more globally recognized than Mia Khalifa.
Khalifa (real name Sarah Joe Chamoun) is a former porn star turned media personality that has been an unabashed sports fan throughout her adult life.
She has been supporting Spain throughout the 2026 World Cup, which came to a successful close when Spain defeated Argentina in the World Cup Final on Sunday.
Khalifa shared photos of a $1 million wager on Spain to win the World Cup, which earned her a staggering $650,000 profit when it was cashed on Sunday.
The 33-year-old Khalifa was quick to flex her huge betting win on social media in the wake of the World Cup final, including adding a screenshot of her winning bet as part of an Instagram post showing snippets of her at the soccer tournament, which was captioned, “Believed and won big🥹 so proud of my home country Spain (not a drop of Spanish blood in me)🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸”.
Khalifa was a presence throghoug the World Cup, raising eyebrows when she showed up to USA’s opening win against Paraguay.
The final was a perfect storm for Khalifa, who was rooting for Spain and against Argentina throughout the event.
“I’m rooting against Argentina solely for the love of the game of hating,” Khalifa was quoted as saying in a recent interview.
Khalifa’s hate-watch worked out well for her, and now she has a lot of cash to celebrate her adopted country of Spain’s World Cup success.
She was wearing a Lamine Yamal Barcelona FC jersey while at the World Cup Final.
