Former Main Event champion Noel Furlong might have pocketed $1,000,000 for his victory in 1999, but by the time he passed away in June 2021, he had amassed a whole lot more.
A recent article has laid bare the estate of the former World Champion, with over €56 million ($59.5 million) left behind to his family.
The figure is so vast that were it all to have come from poker, he would sit second in the all-time money list, trailing only Justin Bonomo. But as you'll find out, Furlong enjoyed much success away from the poker tables.
