$45,000 if you answered every single question right then plus even more if you guess the final Jeopardy question correctly. In the first round, there are 5 questions in each category and the amounts are $200, 400, 600 800 and 1000. Double Jeopardy, the amounts are $400, 800, 1200, 1600 and 2000. So, technically, $90,000 would be the maximum amount, possibly even a little more than that due to the fact that there are 3 Daily Doubles throughout the game.

And the answer is-- $ 422,400 !!
Here is how I arrived at this huge figure.
First, I believe there are 6 columns of questions on each board
with two daily doubles. Each column on the first board has $1500 available and each column in double jeopardy has $3000. If the daily doubles are in the lowest valued questions
then there would be $8800 available from the first board and $17600 from the second. If a player answered every question correctly and then doubled up on each daily double after first clearing the board, and then doubled up one more time in final
jeopardy, from the first board he would win (8800)(2)(2)=35,200. From double jeopardy he would win 17600. Added to the 35,200 gives 52,800. Then doubling it twice yields
$211,200. Finally, doubling one more time in final jeopardy
gives a total of $422,400.
This is not too realistic, however. After all, who in their right mind would bet all their cash on final jeopardy when they are already ahead $211,200?

Well I can't remember how many categories there are, I think it's 6. Also, I think there's two daily doubles per round. If so...
The most in the first round would be 34,800. You'd have to answer all the questions, and the last two would have to happen to be daily double AND be only $100 questions. Plus you'd have to max out on the daily doubles.
Likewise the max in round two is 69,600.
Total winnings so far, 104,400.
Bet it all in daily double and win, and you have 208,800.
Haven't watched the show in a while, so my number of categories and number of daily doubles might be wrong, but the logic is the same.
