Top 10 Richest Gamers In The World (2022)

The richest gamer in the world should probably be Bill Gates because he owns Xbox, but that will probably not count because he is not a real player who actually earns his bread by taking part in virtual games and winning prizes. That is the domain of the hardcore gamers; the guys who through dedication and sheer love for the sport have developed their gaming skills beyond belief.

Believe it or not, these guys have also made a fortune in the process. In fact, the guys on this list have on average made more money than most people could ever hope to make after 30 years on a nine-to-five job. Some of them have become big celebrities whose faces are courted by big gaming companies; the endorsement deals are not cheap either.
