Phil Hellmuth

Known as the youngest player to ever win the World Series of poker main event in 1989 at the age of 24, Phil Hellmuth, referred to as the Poker brat for his young age and his legendarily wild antics at the poker table, has developed a reputation as being somewhat volatile and reacting poorly to bad beats.  Fortunately, despite this behavior, the level of popularity and exposure for Phil Hellmuth, the young Texas Hold'em poker tournament champion, has only risen, as these antics have actually brought him more fame and notoriety than if he had not engaged in this type of behavior at the Texas Hold'em poker tournament tables.  Considering the tremendous amounts of money that the 11 time World Series of poker tournament in Las Vegas winner has won, it is easy to believe that the legendary player has very little to concern himself about as far as finances.

In fact, it would be fair to say that Hellmuth very likely has generated more winnings than most players can ever dream about in their entire lives, simply by competing in the world famous World Series of poker tournament in Las Vegas and winning so many times.
