DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, CARIBBEAN: 'The Trust: A Game of Greed' wrapped Season 1 with five players: Tolu Ekundare, Julie Theis, Jake Chocolous, Gaspare Randazzo and Brian Firebaugh decided to share whopping $243,000 cash prize among themselves.

During the finale episode, Netflix show host, Brooke Baldwin, invited contestants individually to vote in one last Trust ceremony.

The last challenge was to test the loyalty of the contestants and to determine who would walk away with the huge cash prize. Surprisingly, all five players decided to stick together and didn't vote anyone out.

Just ahead of the final Trust Ceremony, the contestant visited the vault for the last time. Brooke invited Tolu, Jake, Julie, Gaspare and Brian individually and offered them $25,000 from the $268,000 prize pot.

However, the evening turned into a celebration with a champagne toast to their loyalty after no one was voted out and they equally split the $243,000 prize.
