\n<\/picture>\n Alejandro Lococo won $12 million at WSOP Paradise<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe rest of the top ten may not pass your personal celebrity smell test, but they are who they are. Salomon is famous for being famous, and most of his money comes from three The Big One for One Drop finishes. David Einhorn<\/strong> is a big-time investor that you would know very well if you needed a lot of money for your business, and he claimed most of his money in The Big One for One Drop, but he did finish 18th in the 2006 WSOP Main Event<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\nHaralabos Voulgaris<\/strong> parlayed his high-profile NBA sports betting knowledge into a job with the Dallas Mavericks and he has six-figure poker scores dating back to the mid-2000s. He was recently seen at Triton Monte Carlo in 2024, where he finished fourth in the Main Event. Jinho Hong<\/strong> is a big deal in South Korea, where he was a professional Starcraft player and is a TV personality. He has been playing a lot of poker in the last few years all over the world and he may be at the top of this list when all is said and done.\u00a0<\/p>\nCoren Mitchell the best?<\/h2>\n
The rest of the top ten includes Canadian billionaire Guy Laliberte<\/strong>, who still jumps in the occasional tournament in Montreal, and British TV host Victoria Coren Mitchell<\/strong>. Coren Mitchell is perhaps the most accomplished of any celebrity<\/strong> with two European Poker Tour Main Event wins in 2006 and 2014. She was the first woman to win an EPT event and still appears regularly on tour.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\n<\/picture>\n Victoria Coren Mitchell has two EPT Main Event wins and counting. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAfter French rapper and European tour regular Bruno Lopes<\/strong>, and before French singer Patrick Bruel<\/strong>, the big surprise in the top 10 is Gabe Kaplan\u00a0<\/strong>at #9. It’s not so much a surprise that he would be there, but more that his Hendon Mob profile would have so much variety. His first big score was a $190K win in Amarillo Slim’s Super Bowl of Poker in 1980. Kaplan has a few other wins from throughout that era without a dollar amount, and another $108K victory at the 1987 Knights of the Round Table in Atlantic City. The rest is a mix of WSOP finishes and a few big scores from the WPT and Poker After Dark, but\u00a0it all adds up to over $2 million<\/strong>. He was most recently seen in 2023 WSOP in the $10K Super Turbo Bounty, where Kaplan finished in the money in 27th.\u00a0<\/p>\nOther celebrities of note<\/h2>\n
The rest of the top 100 is full of household names and otherwise. Jennifer Tilly<\/strong> is 14th, just ahead of Nate Silver<\/strong> in 15th and Maria Konnikova<\/strong> in 16th. Retired NFL big man Richard Seymour is in 19th and UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer<\/strong> is in 31st.\u00a0<\/p>\nBen Affleck\u00a0<\/strong>(Batman) has $365,400 from his 2004 win in the California State Championship, beating Tobey Maguire<\/strong> (Spider-Man) and his $218,858. Elsewhere, it appears three Survivor contestants have cracked the top 100. Albert Destrade<\/strong> (Survivor: South Pacific), Boston Rob Mariano<\/strong> (Several seasons), and Shirin Oskooi\u00a0<\/strong>(Survivor: Worlds Apart and Cambodia) are all accomplished poker players, but Survivor: Island of Idols contestant Ronnie Bardah<\/strong> was not afforded celebrity distinction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Norman Chad<\/strong> (87th) beats Vince Van Patten<\/strong> (90th), and TV’s Brad Garrett<\/strong> is right behind in 91st. Just outside the top 100 is the late Norm Macdonald, who sits in the 125th all-time money spot.<\/p>\nData provided by\u00a0The Hendon Mob<\/a>.\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\nImages courtesy of Celebrity Poker Tour\/PokerStars.<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.poker.org \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There was a time when celebrities could not get enough poker.
