Daniel Negreanu Wiki Biography

Daniel Negreanu was born on 26 July 1974, in Toronto, Ontario Canada, to migrant Romanian parents. He is currently one of the best poker players in the world – according to Global Poker Index, the best! – who has won two World Poker Tour (WPT) championship titles on top of six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets.

Everybody knows that professional poker players are very rich, so just how rich is Daniel Negreanu? Sources estimate his net worth to have reached the impressive amount of $50 million. Most of it has been accumulated through professional poker games since he began playing seriously in the mid-1990s, while some of it has come from his work as an actor in TV shows and films.

Daniel Negreanu Net Worth $50 Million

From a very young age, Daniel was interested in poker, and started playing semi-seriously at the age of 16. Even as a child, he was ambitious and had the goal of becoming rich someday. He didn’t matriculate from high school – he attended Pineway public middle school in North York, but had a poor attitude to study, instead choosing to find places to play poker, various Casinos as well as illegal games in Toronto. Once he had accumulated enough money, he travelled to Las Vegas (Daniel was 22 at the time) hoping that this would help him become a professional player. Unfortunately, things didn’t go very well, and he was forced to return home broke, and try again.

However, Daniel was never one to give up, and soon he managed to succeed. Negreanu’s first major win was $169,460 – also his first WSOP bracelet – in the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold’em event in the 1998 World Series of Poker. From then on he accumulated steadily, with 2004 an exceptionally successful year for Daniel – he became Card Player, WPT and WSOP Player of the Year. 2013 was also a successful year for Negreanu – he won WSOP Player of the Year which made him the first one to win it twice. A year after that, Negreanu’s name was added to the Las Vegas “Poker Hall of Fame”.

Having a lot of money opens all kinds of possibilities, and acting was something that Daniel had wanted to do. He first secured cameo roles in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and “The Grant”, in both of which he basically had to portray himself – a professional poker player. While these appearances didn’t add much to his net worth, it was an indication of how successful he has become over the years.

As is often the case with professional poker players, he has appeared in various TV shows too, such as “High Stakes Poker” (seven seasons), “Poker after Dark”, “PokerStars Big Game” (two seasons) and “Late Night Poker”, which all contributed somewhat to his rising net worth.

During his career, Daniel has won six “World Series of Poker” bracelets. Nowadays, a large number of poker enthusiasts play and better their skills online, and Negreanu was well aware of that – he is the owner of the Full Contact Poker website, and the site is mostly Daniel’s personal blog plus various poker-related forums. He has also been an active player on Poker Stars, and even moved to Canada when online poker became illegal in the US in 2011.

In his personal life, Daniel Negreanu was married to Lori Lin Weber for two years: the couple divorced in 2007, since when he has been single. Nowadays, Negreanu as well as his family live in Canada. Daniel has an interest in charity events, and among other activities has even created the “Big Swing” golf event, which is held every year to raise money to help children with various disabilities.
