looshle 6 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Does anyone on here actually know the definition of wealth? I.e. BIll Gates is only corporate middle class.....corporate middle class... right.billionaires: #1 at 46.5 billionyou must be counting big bets won and not dollars won. i have heard he plays 2/4. I don't know if you're jokin or not but when he plays live he actually does play 3/6. Link to post Share on other sites

No_Neck 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I would say Doyle Brunson won more money on the poker table than anyone else. I mean the guy has had 5435 years without a losing year. So even if he made 10k a year he is still a brazillionaire Link to post Share on other sites

Meatwad 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. Â Phil Gordon was invovled in some computer tech company and made something like $300 million when it went public I believe.Any thoughts??Horowitz, sold Go2Net to InfoSpace four years ago in a $2.7 billion stock deal....i dont know how much paul phillips got from this deal...he was the chief technical officer...but who knows how many shares he had..The executives within a company typically own a relatively small percentage but large compared to most other holders. Bill Gates owns maybe 10% of Microsoft shares now. That amounts to a fair amount of money since the deal was in the billions but if I had to guess I'd say his share was< 5% and he'd probably be in the tens of millions. Then the tax man gets his chunk. He'd probably never reveal his finances so it's all speculation. Beal is probably the most well known billionaire who regularly plays poker against pros and his net assets are in the billions so I'd go with him until someone like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates shows up a the poker table wearing sunglasses and a t-shirt that says, "I used my lunch money for this entry fee."

Rude Dog 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Dumb question, at least, dumb answers.It's turned into who is the richest guy that happens to play poker for fun or profit.If Gates entered a tennis tournement, would he be the richest tennis player?Ok, he prolly would be, but....

No_Neck 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 for saying he was going to buy the WPT, when he really had no intention of doing it. Driving the stock price through the roof. (or at least up a few percent) Link to post Share on other sites
Canary3 1 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 its kind of hard to tell how much money everyone has but for whoever it was who said Paul Phillips wasnt made of money.... the WPT episode said he sold his internet company for 4 billion dollars :roll: Link to post Share on other sites
spikymarv99 0 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm sure that Bill Gates has played poker at least once in his life, so that would make him the richest poker player in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
