$50 mil is way off. We all know he makes that much every year from twitch.

[royk.]

It’s cool that Hikaru is openly willing to explore topics like this

[fahrulahyan]

Magnus is so good at chess that he kept the world champion title whilst being absent for many years

[tarunhooda]

The "magnus was absent from professional chess scene for many years" really got me 😂😂

[misteratoz]

Bill gates is the richest chess player of all time

[Shobhitchoudhary]

Hikaru's editor net worth is 45 million which they added to Hikaru's 5 million net worth.

I enjoy episodes when you simply talk about chess related topics, without actually playing. Your insights are very interesting

[GilTheCohen]

After "magnus was absent from professional chess scene for many years" I was like: "How freaking long did I sleep for?!"

[truthsmiles]

I mean, Magnus WAS absent from chess for many years… I can’t find a single tournament he played in before 1990.

9:37 Im gonna give him a- Im gonna give him- Im gonna- Im gon- Im gonna up that- Im gonna up that- but- times two

[endiplays]

Googled "richest chess players" yesterday and was pretty confused by the numbers. Nice video to clear things up!

[chickenosaurus]

When the article describes you with 45m wrong you know for sure that the website is off

[rahulmistry]

love the stories hikaru tells in between, makes things really immersive. and that 7:10 "no but fischer is dead" part was too funny lol

[ainzooalgown]

He got the 50mil from the loan after winning titled tuesday

[GGJiaJia]

I won't give an exact number. It's at least 45 million less lmao

[ashwinsuresh]

Teimour Radjabov has other sources of cash too and he's married to a rich azeri family as well

[jackiepage]

Guys worth 5 million and he’s still making videos to entertain the fans. What a guy hikaru is! Gotta love him.

[angrychickengod]

all chess players have an equal worth: more than a queen :)

[swolejszo]

They should do what they do in poker and just rank based on career earnings in tournaments. There are many ways of making money outside of chess, and some may come from wealthier backgrounds, so net worth doesn't mean much by itself.

8:21 When he scrolled down I immediately burst into laughter. 😂
That $50 Million net worth nonsense never gets old.
