Poker’s all-time money list has changed dramatically over the past decade. The old guard of WSOP bracelet winners has been overtaken almost entirely by a new generation of high-stakes tournament specialists, players who built their fortunes on the Triton Poker Series, Super High Roller Bowls, and PokerGO Tour events, where buy-ins routinely run six or seven figures.
A quick note on the numbers: these figures track live tournament earnings only (the standard “All-Time Money List” methodology used by sites like The Hendon Mob), sourced from public tournament-payout databases as of early 2026. They represent gross prize money before buy-ins, staking deals, taxes, and travel costs, not a player’s actual profit or net worth.
Cash game winnings and online tournament results aren’t included unless otherwise noted. Because major tournaments happen weekly, exact rankings shift often, treat these as close approximations rather than a fixed ledger.
1. Bryn Kenney – $80,035,495
The American has held the #1 spot on the all-time money list since 2019, when he shattered records with a $20.5 million score at the Triton Million presented by Google in London – still one of the largest single tournament payouts in poker history. Kenney built his bankroll grinding cash games before becoming a fixture at every major high-roller event on the calendar.
2. Stephen Chidwick – $76,001,259
The UK’s most successful tournament player, Chidwick overtook Justin Bonomo for the #2 spot in 2025. Known for his relentless schedule and consistency at Triton and WPT high-roller final tables, he’s widely regarded as one of the most dangerous heads-up players in the current high-stakes ecosystem.
3. Jason Koon – $70,242,656
A PokerGO Tour standout and one of the most respected all-around players of his generation, Koon is also known for his philanthropic work, regularly donating tournament winnings and running charity poker initiatives.

The Belarusian high-stakes specialist made his name as a Triton Poker mainstay, known for an aggressive, high-variance style that’s produced some of the series’ biggest scores.
5. Justin Bonomo – $65,611,097
Bonomo held the #1 all-time spot from 2018–2019 after winning the WSOP Big One for One Drop for roughly $10 million. Before his live breakout, he was already a legend online under the handles “ZeeJustin” and “BallinInTheBigGame.”
6. Isaac Haxton – $61,565,098
Once known purely as an online crusher (“ikepro801”), Haxton transitioned into one of live poker’s most feared high-roller regulars, with multiple Triton and Super High Roller Bowl titles to his name.

A WSOP bracelet winner and perennial high-stakes threat, Smith is equally known in the poker world for spearheading massive charity prop bets that have raised millions for effective causes.
8. Daniel Negreanu – $57,688,697
The most recognizable name in poker. A six-time WSOP bracelet winner and Poker Hall of Famer, “Kid Poker” built his fortune across three decades spanning the pre-Moneymaker era through the modern high-roller boom, and remains the sport’s biggest ambassador as a GGPoker pro.
9. Adrian Mateos – $54,768,380
The Spanish prodigy became one of the youngest WSOP Europe Main Event champions in history and has stayed near the top of the European high-roller scene ever since, with deep runs across EPT and Triton events.
10. Phil Ivey – $54,493,083
Widely considered by peers to be the most complete all-around player ever to play the game. Ivey’s 10 WSOP bracelets and dominance in the world’s biggest cash games earned him the nickname “the Tiger Woods of Poker,” even though live tournaments were never his primary focus.
11. Alex Foxen – $54,067,123
Foxen’s rise through the high-stakes ranks in the late 2010s and 2020s was swift, earning him multiple Global Poker Index Player of the Year honors along the way.

One of the most consistently deep-running high-stakes players of the past decade, Peters has final-tabled nearly every major high-roller series worldwide.

A high-stakes regular known for deep game-theory study, Petrangelo has been a fixture at Triton and Super High Roller Bowl final tables for years.
