I'm pretty sure it's Magnus, yes. Right now he has an estimated net worth of $8 million, earning an estimated $2 million per year from sponsorships alone. Being the world champion and number one player in the world helps, you know.

Not sure if he owns the Lambo though... I've picked up somewhere he doesn't have a drivers license. But he has enough money to buy a couple

I'm thinking I read an article that said something about Karpov being in the oil industry maybe (?) and was worth hundreds of millions, maybe close to a billion. Somebody else can research it. Im at work.
According to celebrity net worth he has a net worth of $5 million.

Do you mean the person who earned the most money playing chess? or the richest person who just happens to be a chess player?
I would think Rex is the richest person who is active in chess.

I'm guessing he means purely top chess players.

If that's doesn't discourage aspiring grandmasters I dont know what will. He is the world champion, in several categories, rated number one, and considered by some to be the best ever. And yet has a net worth of only 8 million. It seems to me that the greatest in the world should produce a lot more fame and fortune than that.
I am the richest chess player so yeah

Earning $2 million per year isn't enough for you? most people won't make that kind of money in 2 million years! Discouraging... Anyway, it is chess after all. Maybe he should have pursued a soccer career. Cristiano Ronaldo earns about $108 million per year. But then again, how much money does a person need.
