What about Phil Gordon and Paul Phillips? I name them not for what they've won in poker but they're sucesses in the business world. Paul Phillips made several hundred millions if not billions when he sold he took his company public. Phil Gordon was invovled in some computer tech company and made something like $300 million when it went public I believe.Any thoughts??

Not that I read his blog much but one I caught mentioned he wanted to move house and it had to be somewhere reasonable as he isn't made of money. If I made serveral hundred million, money wouldn't be an issue when I was moving my family so I'm guessing he is either amazingly cheap, has it all tied up in long term savings and isnt liquid or he didn't make as much as you think.

The richest poker players are probably the ones we never hear much or anything about. They probably stock trade during the day and play poker at night. They invest in real estate and probably do not play in many if any tournaments. Just a guess.
