How many times do we find ourselves, out of nowhere, in the middle of a discussion with our friends about «how much money this player has» or whether «such and such is broke» in the world of poker. Well, now, thanks to Celebrity Net Worth, we can unvel the mistery.

Daniel Negreanu

As was to be expected,  #1 in the poker world (should he qualify) is Guy Laliberte . The creator of the world renowned Cirque Du Soleil has a estate worth  1.8 billion dollars. Second in line, is dandy Dan Bilzerian , who made a fortune thanks to his father’s business endeavors. His net worth is $150 million dollars. Although neither one of them could be considered an actual professional player…

According to the site, the best positioned player is Phil Ivey , who just a few years ago was believed to be broke. The Tiger Woods of poker has an estimated value of 100 million dollars. And, eventhough, this doesn’t mean that all of it goes into poker, if we add up his bankroll, property, cars, businesses and so on; we would get that number.

Further down the list, we see names like Doyle Brunson ,  Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu , Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth , among others.

However, if we disregard the players, but stay within the industry, then none of them can compete with, say, the former owner and founder of PokerStars, Mark Scheinberg , who is worth around 4.1 billion dollars.
