I read that too somewhere. By my calculations in the 4/8 game: with a net worth of approximately $50 billion dollars, he has a bankroll of 6.25 billion BB. (Probably enough to cover himself for variance).

I'm suprised noone's mentioned Andy Beal.

No one who makes an operating system that bad can ever be a winning poker player, I'll let others elaborate. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh yes! How long would it take him to lose all of that assuming he never wins another hand ever?

It wouldn't be possible. Bill gates is so rich that he could literally spend the rest of his life burning $20 bills every 5 minutes or so, and he'd make so much more than that on investment interest from his net worth that he'd still make money.

A little known fact: Bill Gates didn't actually make his fortunes through poker, but in "computers". So this wouldn't make him inelegible for this question.

So, off the top of my head, I can only think of one billionaire poker player....an upstart Texas Banker, Andy Beal.
