John Harrison received more money than any other individual, with several rewards from the 1730s-1750s, and £10,000 in 1765. In total, Harrison received £23,065 for his work on chronometers. He received £4,315 in increments from the Board of Longitude for his work, £10,000 as an interim payment for H4 in 1765 and £8,750 from Parliament in 1773.
