Any poker pros with a net worth over 50 million? (earning playing poker)

Here are a few things to consider:
1. Pros on occasion bring as much as $1 million to the table in the biggest cash games.
2. Many people make a very good living online, but you don't hear about them becasue they don't play on one of the televised circuits.
3. Scott Fischman, a pro and winner of WSOP bracelets, said that he makes most of his living 12-tabling online.
3. Phil Hellmuth spent a year concentrating on poker-related buisness ventures (including a video series) so that "my family will be set for life". Once that was done, he felt free to fully concentrate on playing poker.
Make of the above what you will.

Another thing to consider is expenses. Obviously, it is cheaper (but not nearly as much fun) to sit at home playing online than it is to be flying all over the world playing on the World Poker Tour, then staying in a hotel (or renting a place for a month) to play in the World Series of Poker.
Making a good income is seldom without expense, be it poker books, a college education, or flying to the Carribean for a tournament.
