Napa_Don 688 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm pretty sure that Phil Hellmuth has all the mobney...in the world. I know I heard that he just beats the big game regularly, nobody will even play with him. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,721 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Doyle probably has a lot. And if Sexton is a part owner of party poker then he does as well. I think I'll go with Doyle, because hes the man. Link to post Share on other sites

lordofelt 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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?? Link to post Share on other sites

JoeWalsh 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 . Paul Phillips made several hundred millions if not billions when he sold he took his company public.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.

theresa113 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites
