Most WSOP Prize Money

Antonio Esfandiari took over the top spot on the WSOP money won list (bracelet events only) when he captured the 2012 million-dollar buyin Big One for One Drop for $18,346,673.

But Daniel Negreanu slowly reeled him in until he became the new leader with the $1,178,703 he earned for first place in the 2024 $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

A decade ago, the top ten players with the most WSOP winnings were all Main Event champions. Now, only two remain -- Phil Hellmuth and Jonathan Duhamel.
