How much did Daniel Negreanu make with $4.9 million in poker tournament prize money?
[
Daniel Negreanu is one of the best tournament players ever, as evidenced by his No. 3 on poker’s all-time money list. The 48-year-old Poker Hall of Famer has amassed more than $49 million over the course of his storied career, and 10% of that has been won in 2022.
Negreanu, who has always been transparent about his wins and losses on his popular YouTube vlog, took to Twitter to share his final numbers for the year.
According to his own record keeping, Negreanu played a total of 107 events in 2022, cashing 23 times for a total of $4,875,609.
But as every poker player’s mom will ask, how much did he lose?
The Canadian high roller also shared his total buy-ins, which at an average of $30,136 add up to a staggering $3,224,564!
This left a profit of $1,625,545, minus any expenses, trades, shares sold, and, of course, taxes.

Not that Negreanu is complaining after a year of frequently dealing with the worst side of variance.
“In all-ins, I’ve still been running under equity for two years,” said Negreanu Card player back in October. “Now when people tell me crazy stories about bad racing, I finally believe it, because in my three decades as a pro I’ve never seen anything like it.”
After a brutal summer at the World Series of Poker who saw a seven-figure loss and numerous money bubble disasters in high roller events, Negreanu turned his year around with a massive $3,312,000 win in October Super High Roller bowl.
“Do you know how I was fucked?” he said then too. “Hopefully that will change at some point, and luckily I won that $3.3 million because otherwise I might lose my mind.”
Negreanu closed out his year with another deep run, this time in the whopping $10,000 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas which had 2,960 attendees. Unfortunately for him, the bad beat curse returned and had to settle for 17th place and $176,200.
But despite the poor run with cold decks, Neidgrano still managed its third most profitable year of the last decade, trailing only $1,963,500 and $7,100,164 won in 2013 and 2014.
His worst year was 2016 when he lost $1,246,693. Overall, she averaged $1,459,695 in profit each year for a total of $13,137,263.
