Lifetime profit for major pros like Phil Ivey


I've watched alot of poker on tv and listening to
some of their conversations it was implied that
Phil Ivey has 20 to 80 million dollars
in the bank from poker winnings.
-
Is there a website with this info?
-
Anyone have an opinion on the amount of
cash these guys have?

reply

There are various winnings charts(just google it), but 20-80 million obviously means money won in total, not just in tournys:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Ivey
How much money they've won isn't hard to find out. How much they have lost in other forms of gaming would give a better picture of total worth.

Not to mention sponsorship deals. I thought I'd read that the pros from Full Tilt were all given $50M paydays at one point.

reply

Phil has also apparently had years where he's lost $20 million

reply

I think Ivey almost had to declare bankruptcy sometime last year or early this year.

you are completely retarded if you believe that. no chance they got $50m each.

What a great response.

Obviously you know everything about online poker.

The stake the select pros received to promote FTP was 1%. When they settled a couple of years back, it was $50M apiece. There was a lawsuit as one female pro suggested she was privy to the $50M.

Maybe you should do some research rather than hurl insults.

Guaranteed he makes more from endorsements and marketing than his annual earnings.

Yep.....ur proving my statement....ur one of the retards who believes internet message board rumors. Show me a link that states ivey received a 50m settlement with ftp. Gowen was supposedly signed to receive 1%......guess what she was offered....250k. She got pissy and thought ftp was worth more and she sued for I think 40m. Did she win? Nope. Case was dismissed. Would it have been dismissed if she had any solid grounds to stand on? Probably not. Ur basing ftp's worth based on her lawyers calculations and the _outrageous lawsuit.....making u retarded. Just post some links and prove me wrong......not some blog rumors.....real facts please.

And im not saying ivey hasn't made millions from ftp......just saying ur nuts to think he got a 50mil payment.

in the Poker Academy session on Full Tilt Phil Gordon has a sit down with Patrik Antonius about his 2k-4k stakes with Durrr and Isledurrrr...

Patrik illuded to having a poker bankroll of 9 figures.

Well Ivey has won 13 million in tournaments, but thats not profit obviously, and as for online he has made 18 million since he started playing at FTP, and live games who knows but he's def a lifetime winner. so you can def assume he's made atleast 25 mil by poker ALONE not including endorsements. Must be nice.
