Estimated Net-worth of top poker players

[KrazyCowboys]

I know this is a complete speculation, but what do you guys think some of the best players are worth? I read some posts that many people think most HSP 500k players are being staked. How much truth is in this? Don't a lot of these guys play in the "Big Game" at the Bellagio for a million bucks a buy-in? Do they not always play with their own money in these games? The way I figure it, guys like Brunson and Ivey are probably worth 100 million or more, especially since I always hear about $5 million swings in golf etc. How can they handle these swings unless they are upwards of 100-200million?

I'd love to hear speculation on how much some of the best guys are worth.

I heard Todd Brunson is worth $800,000, and would increase to $5 milllion once Doyle Brunson dies.
