What are the top pros worth?

[philfan05]

I think many top pros have way less than most people think. When winning large sums of money comes relatively easy to you, it makes it much easier to spend your money foolishly. Almost all top pros have huge gambling problems and probably make decisions like, "Hey, I can afford to blow 200k on crap/prop bets/ sportsbetting etc and just win it all back playing poker." I also think that in order for these players to still get a rush from playing poker they need to player for higher stakes than they can truely afford (in the sense of a 20 buy in BR time of mentality). Finally, most of them know that they could easily borrow money or get staked by other players.
