NOTE: An attempted version in the  United States, The One: Making a Music Star on the American Broadcasting Company, was attempted in 2006. The show ended in the middle of the competition (two episodes), and did not finish with a resulting winner. Because of that, it is therefore not included in this list.

Austria	2002–							€1,000,000		5
	Like the German show, its first episodes were shot in Hilversum (Netherlands). Since the German set became finished (in September 2000) the show uses the Cologne (Germany) set, which may cause problems for contestants who would like to ask the audience if the question happens to be about Austrian trivia. Austrian television ORF once thought about building an own set in Vienna, but never realized it, because they thought it was too expensive just for the number of shows ORF usually produces per year. Before the switch to the euro, the money tree was the amounts used on the UK version, but in schillings, and multiplied by ten. Since autumn 2007 each contestant can choose whether he plays the traditional or a new second variant. In this variant the second "save haven" (at €15,000) is disabled, therefore the contestant gets a fourth lifeline which is the same as the Double Dip lifeline on Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire, though it can be used from the first question on. Further this variant extends the "Phone-a-friend" lifeline, so that he can choose between five friends instead of three.

Canada	September, 2000	Who Wants to Be A Millionaire: Canadian Edition			Pamela Wallin	CTV		1,000,000 Canadian dollars	US $890,000
	CTV network aired the United States (primetime) version for most of its run. But the Canadian Edition was taped on the ABC set in New York. A Canadian audience was flown to the city for the shows, so the contestants could ask the audience for help on the Canadian-themed questions. Following the airing of the two specials, CTV did announce that additional episodes of the Canadian Edition would be produced in Toronto, but they never came to fruition as the US ratings took a huge downfall. The syndicated American version can be seen in Canada on local Citytv or A-Channel stations, depending on region, in the evening, as well as through American channel feeds. It is also shown on ASN during the daytime.

	Georgia suffers frequent power cuts—sometimes as frequently as every five minutes—so it can take a day to record a whole episode. Another obstacle is the studio, which is very basic—the lift carries only five people at a time, so getting the host, contestants, crew and audience into position is a laborious task. Prize progression: 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,000, 1,500, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000

Germany	2002–							€1,000,000
	The 600th show was screened on October 6, 2006. The show is produced in Cologne. The prize structure goes like this: €50, €100, €200, €300, €500, €1,000, €2,000, €4,000, €8,000, €16,000, €32,000, €64,000, €125,000, €500,000, €1,000,000. It was earlier filmed in Hilversum (Netherlands). Since autumn 2007 each contestant can choose whether to play the traditional or a new second variant. In the new variant the second "save haven" (at € 16,000) is disabled, therefore the contestant gets a fourth lifeline, which allows him to directly ask one person in the audience to help. Further this variant extends the "Phone-a-friend" lifeline. By this he can either phone one of three friends of him as usual, or one randomly called person within a German city and/or gender of his choice.

Hong Kong	2001, 2002 and 2004	百萬富翁		The Millionaire	Kenneth Chan	ATV	Mainland China	1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars	US $129,000	3
	The first series debuted on April 29, 2001, and was popular enough for a second series to begin airing on July 22, 2002. The first millionaire was the team with famous composer Wong Jim and actress Fung Po Po during a special celebrity episode dedicated for charities where the winnings of each celebrity is donated to a different charity of their own choices. The Hong Kong-produced version is also shown in China, and it therefore had to pass Chinese government censors. The programme generated high enough ratings that at one point, the channel was showing fresh episodes every day of the week. Asia Television, the broadcasting network, was swamped with commercials during the hour the programme aired.

It is considered one of the most successful shows on Indian TV and is watched around the world by Indian diaspora, as well as by people from Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bhutan, Mauritius, Fiji, East Africa, the UK, the US, etc. After the first episode had been broadcast, STAR TV received 20 million phone calls from fans across the world.

	A limited 85 episode series was ordered. The show was abruptly canceled before the order was completed due to host Amitabh Bachchan falling sick. As a result, one contestant was left with his game uncompleted until the show returned in 2007.

	Prize progression (w/o the final): 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, 250,000, 500,000, 750,000, 1,000,000, 1,500,000, 2,500,000, 5,000,000, 7,500,000, 10,000,000. The rules are the same as the original. Notably, while the show is referred to as Quiz Millionaire, the logo of the show still says "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?," although the logo has yen symbols on it instead of pound or dollar symbols. Presenter Mino Monta uses the English phrases from the original show, such as "Fainaru ansah" (Final Answer?) in the quiz. Interestingly enough, the Phone-a-Friend lifeline is also done differently-- four supporters of the contestant are off-stage, and when the contestant picks that lifeline, they are the ones who hear the question and four possible answers (therefore, there is no "Phone-a-Friend" list that most other versions' contestants use). They are also there to split up the cash prizes of ¥2,500,000, ¥5,000,000, ¥7,500,000, and the grand prize of ¥10,000,000 among the contestant if the contestant leaves with any of these prizes (as it is illegal in Japan for a game show to give away a cash prize of more than ¥2,000,000 to one contestant alone).
