Mickey Appleman was interviewed/profiled in Al Alvarez's masterpiece about the 1981 WSOP, "The Biggest Game in Town". He has four bracelets (first in 1980, most recent in 2003) and according to his Wikipedia page has won over $1.5M in tournament play alone.

$1.5 million in 30 years is $50,000/year and thats before taxes AND before buy-ins. Live winnings never take into consideration the cost of buyins. He could very easily be a loser in tournaments.
