Top 10 Richest Poker Players in the World
Poker is one of the most popular card games in the world with an active player base of more than 100 million people. Although it’s known for being a high-stakes game where winning isn’t guaranteed, poker can be extremely lucrative in professional circles. In fact, some professional poker tournaments can even offer up prize pools of up to $42.6 million. That’s a pretty hefty paycheck for playing a card game.
Globally, only a small percentage of poker aficionados ever make it into these high-paying big leagues. The handful that do become millionaires nab endorsements, book deals, and make media appearances that further increase their income.
