Well, it ain't me. I'd guess maybe Bill Gates? I heard he played at one time.

I think this will be a very hard question to answer. Who the hell knows? Does Bill Gates still play? I betch there are some Russian oil tycoons on the list... maybe.

Stephen Colbert is doing pretty well these days -- not Gates level, for sure, but we do know he's still in it at least.

If Vin Deisel hadn't fallen so far in terms of $ per picture, I'd say he would be the richest.
Robin Williams would be my next best guess.
Is stephen Colbert still playing the game? When does he have time...?

Whoever bought the only copy of Domesday #2 to ever sell (to any public knowledge) at GenCon for $18,000. That dude is a serious collector. I could only wish.

That sale didn't actually happen at GenCon; it was a private deal between a seller in Louisville KY and an anonymous buyer. But it was finalized around the same time as GenCon '08, so that confusion is not unexpected.

Not talking $$ I'd say anyone who has found a game they enjoy and has time to play.
