Sean Perry Net Worth 2026: Poker Earnings, Lawsuits & Sports Betting Claims

Sean Perry is one of poker’s most divisive figures, and our estimate puts his net worth at $3 million to $8 million. The Las Vegas native has $7,122,522 in tracked live tournament earnings across 69 cashes, headed by a career-best $640,000 PokerGO Cup win in 2022.

After three years away from tournaments he returned in 2026, cashed the WSOP Main Event for the first time and made a Poker Masters final table in October. Off the felt he sells sports-betting picks, is suing Mikki Mase for defamation and has been called untrustworthy by Shaun Deeb.

What separates him from most players with a seven-figure record is how little of his income is verifiable. The tournament cashes are public; the sports-betting profits, private cash games and picks revenue that he says dwarf them are not.

Sean Perry’s net worth is $3 million to $8 million on our estimate, built from his tracked tournament record, his known buy-in volume and the untracked income he reports from sports betting. No independent valuation exists.

Perry and the promotional material around his picks service have referred to “eight-figure lifetime earnings” from poker and sports betting combined. Nothing outside his own accounts supports that number.

How much is Sean Perry worth in 2026?

The only hard figure is his tournament record: $7,122,522 across 69 recorded cashes, which places him 325th on the all-time money list per The Hendon Mob (October 2026 snapshot). Everything else in his financial picture is self-reported.

Tournament winnings are the smallest slice of the picture he describes. His reported income also includes private cash games at Aria, the picks service and daily fantasy wagering, none of it publicly tracked.

Net worth estimates and why they vary

Unlike established stars, Perry has no widely cited estimate from celebrity biography sites. The figures that do circulate trace back to his own promotional content or to outlets repeating it unchecked.

His peers have been openly sceptical. Shaun Deeb said in a 2024 WPT feature that Perry “cares about a dollar more than his reputation”, and sharp bettor Haralabos Voulgaris has questioned his betting record on social media.

The missing piece: sports betting profits and private game results

The biggest gap in any Sean Perry net worth assessment is his sports-betting income, which he says is profitable across several leagues and which nobody has audited.

Sports-betting profit is inherently unverifiable for third parties. A bettor can post winning tickets and omit losing ones, and bankroll tracking is entirely self-reported.

Five factors keep his true position out of public view:

What we can verify: $7.1 million in tracked cashes

The tracked total is real, publicly auditable and updated after every recorded event. It is also gross: a $300,000 win in a $25,000 event with half the action sold leaves the player roughly $137,500 once the backer is paid.

Perry’s staking arrangements have never been disclosed. His 2026 return added five cashes worth $275,225, against known buy-ins of more than $330,000 once his two Super High Roller Bowl bullets are counted.

Until Perry or an independent party discloses verified figures across these categories, any precise number is speculation. Our range weighs net tournament profit after buy-ins and staking, untracked cash game results and picks revenue; his own “eight-figure” claim sits outside it.

The bulk of Perry’s record sits in a 15-month window. Nine of his ten largest cashes came between April 2021 and July 2022, and that stretch accounts for most of his $7.1 million career total.

His biggest score came for winning PokerGO Cup Event #8 in February 2022, a 32-entry event. His only pre-2021 six-figure result was the 2017 WPT Five Diamond, and nothing since 2022 has broken into the top ten.

Top live tournament cashes

All figures from The Hendon Mob, field sizes from WSOP.com and PGT where published. The pattern: dominance in small-field high-roller events, with the 2017 WPT run his only result from an open field above 1,000 entries.

At Triton Poker he has two cashes worth $177,500, the best a 15th place for $96,500, and no final table.

WSOP record: nine cashes, zero bracelets

Perry has nine WSOP bracelet-event cashes worth $1,019,339, summed from his Hendon Mob record, plus two WSOP Circuit cashes. He has no bracelet and no ring; his two final tables came in the 2021 $100,000 High Roller (4th, $590,344) and the 2022 High Roller (6th, $264,034).

Three of the nine came in 2026. He cashed the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller (45th), finished 30th in the $50K High Roller and took 604th in the Main Event, his first Main Event cash.

Sean Perry was born on December 5, 1996 and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He grew up around the game: his father holds a WSOP bracelet, his mother plays recreationally and his maternal grandmother played professionally.

Who is Sean Perry’s father?

Ralph Perry is a Russian-born professional with more than $3.8 million in tracked live earnings, a WSOP bracelet from the 2006 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event and a third-place finish in the 2002 WSOP Main Event. He went deep again in 2026, finishing 44th in the Main Event for $215,000.

Sean’s Jewish upbringing was bound up with poker from childhood. His bar mitzvah was poker-themed.

His mother, Merri Perry, leads a Realty One Group team in Las Vegas, served as Las Vegas Realtors’ 2024 president and was named its Realtor of the Year. Her own mother was a professional, making Sean a third-generation player.

Where did Sean Perry go to college?

Perry enrolled at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and dropped out in his sophomore year, at 19, to play full-time. His first recorded cashes came at the Seminole Hard Rock in spring 2017, including a $570 turbo win and 2nd in a $2,200 eight-handed event for $74,797.

In December 2017 he finished 4th in the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic for $504,090 from an 812-player field. That remains his only major result from a large open field; everything after it was built in small-field, high buy-in events on the PokerGO and Aria circuits.

Perry’s tournament career has run in three phases: invisible before 2021, dominant for 15 months, then absent for three years before a 2026 return. The middle phase produced eight high-roller titles and every six-figure score bar one.

2021: the breakout year

The run began in April 2021 with 2nd at the Aria $25K High Roller for $201,500 and 3rd in the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown $25,500 High Roller for $596,418. Within five months he added outright wins including the Venetian $25K High Roller ($365,500) and Poker Masters Event #2 ($206,400).

The peak came at the WSOP in November. He reached the final five of the $100,000 High Roller, a 64-entry field won by Michael Addamo, and fell in 4th for $590,344 when his pocket sixes ran into Kevin Rabichow’s eights.

He closed 2021 ranked 3rd in the PGT Player of the Year standings, behind Ali Imsirovic and Addamo. The PokerGO Tour is a high-roller-only circuit rather than a global ranking, but a top-three finish there confirmed him as a force in that niche.

PokerGO Tour dominance: 2021 to 2022

In January 2022 he took 3rd at the Stairway to Millions $101K event for $304,000.

The following month he won two events at the same PokerGO Cup, the only player to do so that series: Event #2 for $200,000 and the $50K finale for his career-best $640,000. He finished 2nd in the points race behind Jeremy Ausmus.

His remaining 2022 results included 8th at the Wynn Millions $10K Main Event ($202,908) and 6th in the WSOP High Roller for $264,034. By then he had eight high-roller titles and over $6 million banked.

2023 to 2025: the tournament exit

Appearances dropped sharply after mid-2022 as Perry moved his focus to sports betting, the picks service and social media. His last cash of the period was 17th at Triton London on July 30, 2023 for $81,000, and none followed for almost three years.

2026: back on the high-roller circuit

He returned to the WSOP in 2026 and cashed three bracelet events, then played the October run at the PokerGO Studio, including Super High Roller Bowl XI and the Poker Masters. Those results are set out in Latest News & Updates below.

Perry’s cash game career is harder to quantify than his tournament record. Private sessions at Aria go unreported and no public database tracks lifetime cash results, so what is known comes from televised appearances.

Has Sean Perry played on High Stakes Poker?

Yes. Perry appeared on High Stakes Poker Season 8, Episode 6, the 2021 PokerGO revival, sharing a table with Tom Dwan, Jean-Robert Bellande and High Stakes Poker regular Rick Salomon.

Six-figure swings were routine in that line-up, and the programme has produced several of the biggest televised cash game pots ever.

Cash of the Titans II: up $240,000 and no bonus

His highest-profile cash result came at No Gamble No Future: Cash of the Titans II, a seven-player PokerGO game aired from October to December 2024 with a $200,000 bonus for the biggest winner. Perry led the series into its final session.

He lost the bonus on the last hand, when Kristen Foxen’s final-hand call for the title turned a $497,500 pot her way. Perry finished up about $240,000 in the game itself.

The opponent in that pot was Aria cash game regular Andrew Robl, who moved all in after asking for a count of Perry’s stack. A fold by Foxen would have handed Perry the title.

Sean Perry on Hustler Casino Live

Perry made his Hustler Casino Live debut in March 2025, bought in for $150,000 and lost it inside four hours before leaving the stream early. His response on X: “When you make millions a month betting sports, you can donate $150k on the poker felt.”

He asked publicly for a seat in that spring’s HCL Million Dollar Game and did not get one. For a player who promotes himself as a high-stakes regular, the absence stood out.

Since stepping back from tournaments in 2023, Perry has built his public brand almost entirely around sports betting. His X account, Instagram content and paid subscription all centre on picks and wagering results, and the 2026 poker return has not changed that mix.

What is Sean Perry Wins?

Sean Perry Wins is a paid picks service run through Whop and Telegram. Subscribers pay for his selections across several leagues.

Perry has claimed profitable records on it, posting winning tickets and season tallies on social media. None of it has been independently audited, subscriber numbers and revenue are unknown, and the service sits behind his “eight-figure lifetime earnings” claim.

The Circa Survivor bust and other public bets

His most dramatic public moment came in the 2023 Circa Survivor, a season-long NFL picks contest with a $9.3M prize pool. With 13 entries left, 12 agreed to chop at roughly $400,000 each; Perry, playing as “Goldenboy”, refused and countered at $2M for his share.

He took the Denver Broncos in Week 16. New England won 26-23 on a 56-yard field goal and Perry left with nothing.

In February 2024 he lost an estimated $1.1M on Super Bowl LVIII, backing the San Francisco 49ers moneyline at -110 with Circa Sports. Kansas City won 25-22 in overtime.

Perry’s poker reputation is as polarising as his public persona. His results show a player capable of beating elite fields in high-roller events, but peer assessments of his overall skill are sharply divided.

How Perry plays: loose-aggressive with a side of table talk

On broadcast evidence Perry plays a loose-aggressive style, willing to put opponents to decisions for large portions of their stack. He is not a quiet presence at the table.

His record supports a player who thrives in small-field high-roller events with fast structures and high variance. Eight titles from that type of field is a strong conversion rate.

He has cultivated an image as a wealthy recreational with deep pockets. Whether that reflects genuine table presence or a calculated attempt to attract action is part of what divides opinion on his game.

Verbal sparring is a constant. At WSOP events and on cash game streams he has gone after opponents in public, and the 2026 Poker Masters added a sideline row with Nicholas Palma to the list.

Peer opinion is split. Shaun Deeb has called him untrustworthy; others in the high-roller community ask whether his results reflect edge or the variance that small fields produce.

All style observations here are drawn from broadcast commentary and interviews, not from systematic hand analysis or solver review.

Perry has been in more public disputes than most players with his earnings total: a fraud accusation, running feuds with two elite pros, a defamation suit and sexual assault allegations he denies. Each is set out below with named sourcing.

The Daniel Colman DFS scammer accusation (May 2021)

In May 2021 Daniel Colman accused Perry publicly of cheating him out of seven figures in head-to-head daily fantasy wagers through multi-accounting. Coming from the Big One for One Drop champion, the accusation travelled fast.

According to Colman, bettor Aaron Jones said he would “lay 10,000-to-1” that Perry controlled the accounts in question.

Perry never addressed the substance in public and no resolution has been reached. It sits in the same bracket as many of poker’s unresolved debt and scam accusations: an allegation with no ruling behind it.

The Shaun Deeb feud (2024 onwards)

Perry’s most persistent critic is nine-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, who told a 2024 WPT feature: “He’s not trustworthy for money… he cares about a dollar more than his reputation.”

At the 2025 WSOP the two clashed in the $25,000 PLO/NLH High Roller. After Perry’s second elimination Deeb’s parting line was: “There’s only one person who cares about you… your mother.”

The Daniel Negreanu feud (2025 onwards)

In February 2025 Perry posted a text thread with Poker Hall of Famer Daniel Negreanu on X and this verdict on his childhood idol:

“The clown went from being my idol growing up to being an internet bully.” Sean Perry, February 20, 2025

The feud moved offline at the 2026 WSOP, when Perry insulted Negreanu from a nearby table during a High Roller. In October, Negreanu’s pocket jacks ended Perry’s Poker Masters run in 5th.

The Mikki Mase defamation lawsuit (August 2025)

Perry initially aligned himself with self-styled baccarat player Mikki Mase. The relationship collapsed in early 2025.

In February 2025 Perry posted a video on X calling Mase “a fraud” and offering him $1M of baccarat action.

In March 2025 Perry fought William “Mazi” Smith, a former employee, in an exhibition boxing match and won as a -350 favourite. The following month Mazi made roughly 15 sexual assault allegations against Perry on X, and Mase repeated the claim in a Spaces conversation.

Perry denies the allegations and said he would take a lie detector test. No charge has followed and the claims remain unproven.

On August 29, 2025 Perry filed a defamation lawsuit in Clark County District Court, Nevada, against Michael Meiterman (Mikki Mase), William Darnell Smith (Mazi) and Charlie Cavalier, seeking unspecified damages. No ruling, settlement or dismissal has been reported since.

Perry has lived in Las Vegas his whole life. His family background and education are covered above; this section holds the details not addressed elsewhere.

How old is Sean Perry?

Sean Perry is 29 years old, born December 5, 1996. He has no publicly confirmed spouse, partner or children.

His social presence runs through the @seanperrywins handle. The Instagram account has an audience of around 700,000, far larger than most players with comparable earnings, while his X following is in the tens of thousands.

He has no Wikipedia article and no poker room sponsorship. The “poker villain” tag that reporters now attach to him is one he leans into rather than contests.

“I still own 14 Ferraris.” That was Perry’s line to the room after Daniel Negreanu’s pocket jacks ended his run in 5th place at Poker Masters Event #9 in October, his first final table in more than three years and a six-figure result.

The cash capped his most active tournament year since 2022. At the WSOP he cashed the GGMillion$ High Roller and finished 30th in the WSOP High Roller Tom Dwan won for $100,497.

The Main Event brought his first payout in poker’s world championship, 604th for $27,500 in the WSOP 2026 Main Event Lucas Jumalon won.

October was costlier than the table suggests. He fired two $100K bullets at Super High Roller Bowl XI and busted on Day 1, the second bullet going to two-time GPI Player of the Year Alex Foxen, then went out of Poker Masters Events #6 and #7 without cashing.

The defamation suit against Mikki Mase, Mazi Smith and Charlie Cavalier remains in Clark County District Court with no reported ruling. His next appearance has not been announced; the picks service and the Negreanu and Deeb feuds continue to drive his public profile between tournaments.

This player profile separates verifiable facts from estimates and public claims. We cannot accurately calculate any player’s net worth, but we aim to publish transparent, verifiable information.

How we handle ‘net worth’

We publish a range built from verifiable components and state the basis for it. Where a component cannot be verified, we say so rather than inflate or refuse the number.

For Perry the only hard component is his tracked tournament record. His sports-betting income, private cash game results, staking splits and picks revenue are self-reported or private, so the range carries wide uncertainty.

How we report earnings

Live tournament earnings are sourced from The Hendon Mob and reported gross, before buy-ins, staking splits and taxes. WSOP counts are cross-checked against WSOP.com.

Perry’s WSOP cash count uses bracelet events only, summed from his Hendon Mob record, because WSOP.com now includes PokerGO Tour events in its player totals. Field sizes are taken from WSOP.com and PGT where published.

How we cover controversies

Allegations, accusations and legal claims are attributed to named sources. Where a matter is unresolved, we say so, and we do not treat an accusation as a finding.

Perry has not been criminally charged in connection with any matter in this profile. His defamation suit against Mikki Mase, Mazi Smith and Charlie Cavalier, filed in August 2025, has no reported ruling, settlement or dismissal on the public record.
