from wikipedia link:

Hasbro conducts a worldwide Monopoly tournament. The first Monopoly World Championships took place in Grossinger's Resort in New York, in November 1973. It has been aired in the United States by ESPN. The current world champion is Bjørn Halvard Knappskog who won the title in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 22, 2009. 41 players competed for the title of Monopoly World Champion and a cash prize of $20,580 USD, which is the total amount of 'Monopoly money' in the current Monopoly set used in the tournament

I wonder those the age old question of who nicked my house on < Insert street name here > get asked often at these? I'd hope so.

This competition is well known to many for just as many years, just as classic arcade championships (see here for example) or other classic board game championships.
