Leo Margets Net Worth 2026: Career Earnings, WSOP Record & Poker Bio

Leo Margets’ net worth is estimated at $2 million to $3.5 million. That is a VIP-Grinders assessment, not a confirmed figure, built from $3,655,218 in tracked live tournament earnings across 134 cashes, per The Hendon Mob.

She is the Spanish professional who ended a thirty-year wait for a woman at the World Series of Poker Main Event final table, finishing 7th in 2025 for $1.5 million. No woman has gone deeper in the Main Event since Barbara Enright in 1995.

This page shows how that range is built, and separates what is verifiable from what is estimated. Every figure is dated, and the gaps are marked as gaps rather than filled in.

She has represented Winamax since February 2018 and remains active on the circuit in 2026.

Leo Margets’ net worth is not publicly confirmed. VIP-Grinders estimates it at $2 million to $3.5 million.

That range starts from the one auditable number she has, her tracked tournament earnings, and works down for costs and up for income that is not on the ledger.

Why Leo Margets net worth estimates vary

No poker outlet or biography site has published a Margets figure, and CelebrityNetWorth does not carry her at all. Where numbers do appear, none discloses a methodology.

Ours does. The split below is what the public record contains and what has to be estimated around it.

What is Leo Margets’ net worth?

An estimated $2 million to $3.5 million. No confirmed figure exists, so this is a VIP-Grinders assessment built from her gross tournament earnings, adjusted for buy-in reinvestment, staking and undisclosed sponsorship income.

How much has Leo Margets won in poker?

$3,655,218 across 134 recorded cashes, all of it live tournament money. That places her 787th on the all-time money list and 13th in Spain.

Her single largest payout is the $1,500,000 for 7th at the 2025 WSOP Main Event, which accounts for 41% of that total.

The gap at the top of that national list is wide. Adrian Mateos leads the Spanish list with a career total more than ten times hers.

That concentration matters. Strip out the 2025 Main Event and the remaining 133 cashes total $2,155,218.

For scale, Liv Boeree’s record-setting Paradise cash of $2,800,000 in December 2024 remains the largest single tournament payout on record for a female player. What Margets collected in 2025 is the largest ever paid to a woman in the WSOP Main Event itself.

How we reached $2 million to $3.5 million

Tournament professionals typically reinvest 30% to 50% of gross winnings in future buy-ins, and many play with backers who take a share. Applied to her career total, that leaves a poker-derived core of roughly $1.8 million to $2.6 million.

Sponsorship income since February 2018, plus book royalties and speaking fees, pushes the upper end higher. Five variables set the width of the band.

The band is wide because the unknowns are large. We publish it with the workings attached rather than a single number with none, and we will narrow it if Margets or a verified filing ever discloses more.

Margets came to poker late and from outside it. Born in Barcelona in 1983, she took a master’s in Communication Business Management at the University of Roehampton in London, then joined IMG in talent and sports management.

How did Leo Margets start playing poker?

Her first tracked live cash came in May 2008: 9th in a €660 event at the Spanish Championship in Sevilla, worth $2,271. A little over a year later she was the last woman left in the WSOP Main Event field.

She first played Texas Hold’em in 2006, at 22, after graduating in London and travelling through South America and Australia. A win in a university tournament in Barcelona brought her first press coverage and her first sponsorship contract.

Poker arrived while she was already working in sports management, not as an escape from it.

Breakthrough: the 2009 WSOP Main Event

A year after her first recorded cash, Margets finished 27th in the 2009 WSOP Main Event for $352,832. No other woman lasted longer in the field, a distinction poker media has tracked informally for decades.

Sixteen years later she did it again. For the wider context, see Maria Ho and the Last Woman Standing record: three Last Woman Standing finishes, more than any other player has managed.

Sponsorship arrived once the results did. Backing came at different points from PokerStars and 888poker before signing with Winamax in 2018. Neither of the earlier deals carries a documented start or end date, so this page does not put years on them.

Her tournament record is heavily front-loaded. Five results account for $2,485,216, or 68% of her career total.

The Hendon Mob is the source for every figure in this section, snapshotted on 3 August 2026. Amounts are gross payouts in US dollars, and the total moves with every recorded cash.

Four of the five came at the World Series of Poker. The outlier is the 2010 Full Tilt Masters Series title in Lloret de Mar, roughly 70km up the coast from her home city.

Does Leo Margets have a WSOP bracelet?

Yes, one. She won Event #83, the $1,500 The Closer, at the 2021 World Series for $376,850, beating a field of 1,903 entries.

The title came after she trailed Alex Kulev by a wide margin heads-up. Sources differ on the exact chip counts, but every account agrees it was a substantial comeback.

The win made her the first woman to take an open-field bracelet at the 2021 World Series. No woman won another open-field event in Las Vegas until Kristen Foxen took the $25,000 High Roller in June 2026.

How Margets’ total compares with the women’s all-time list

Her career figure sits below the women’s all-time leaders, whose totals run into eight figures. Our page on where she ranks among the sport’s women carries the full comparison.

The 2025 Main Event drew 9,735 entries, the third-largest field in the tournament’s history, and built a $90.5 million prize pool. Margets was one of the nine players left when it reached its last day.

No woman had been there in thirty years. Barbara Enright’s 5th place in 1995 had stood alone across 56 editions of the event.

How far did Leo Margets go in the WSOP Main Event?

Seventh, in 2025, for $1,500,000. She did not win it: Michael Mizrachi took the title and the $10,000,000 first prize. Her other deep Main Event run came in 2009, when she finished 27th.

The hand that made the final table

With 16 players left on Day 8, Margets called off a three-bet all-in from Sergio Veloso holding pocket jacks against ace-king. An ace arrived on the flop.

Running clubs then brought her a flush on the river, eliminating Veloso and carrying the stack she needed into the final nine. Every player still in was guaranteed $1,000,000, and she took her seat fifth in chips.

Her run ended in seventh. Holding pocket aces against Kenny Hallaert, she watched a flush complete on the river.

The list of women who have gone deep here is short. Before 2025 the most recent near-miss was Kristen Foxen’s thirteenth place in 2024, and four women before her had finished 10th.

Enright still holds the better finish. Margets holds the bigger cheque: her seventh-place prize was 13 times the $114,180 that fifth place paid from a 273-player field in 1995.

Has a woman ever won the WSOP Main Event?

No. In 56 years only Enright and Margets have reached the final table, and neither won it. She finished higher at 5th, while Margets earned far more, because the 1995 prize pool was a fraction of the modern one.

Our list of every Main Event winner since 1970 has no woman on it.

Margets plays No-Limit Hold’em tournaments and almost nothing else. There is no broadcast cash game record, no super high roller history and no documented results outside the tournament circuit.

Her buy-in range explains the shape of the career. Four of her five biggest results came from $1,500 and $10,000 events, not from the $25,000-plus fields where a large share of modern tournament money now sits.

Peers sitting on similar career totals took a different path. Xuan Liu’s breakthrough Triton title came at a $25,000 buy-in and paid $860,000 in one hit, while Margets’ record shows no events at that level.

Who does Leo Margets play for?

Winamax. The French room announced her signing in February 2018, alongside Portugal’s Joao Vieira and four months after adding Adrian Mateos and Mustapha Kanit.

She is not a current PokerStars pro, although older profiles still describe her as one. That relationship ended well before the Winamax deal began.

Endurance rather than spikes

Margets has completed ten marathons and trains for them around her poker schedule. The overlap is not decorative: a Main Event that runs for well over a week rewards pacing, tolerance for discomfort and the ability to keep making decisions while exhausted.

Her own account of what changed is about temperament rather than technique. Comparing herself in 2009 with the player who won a bracelet in 2021, she told her sponsor:

I’m much calmer, much less anxious.

The 2025 run drew something less measured. Interviewed by PokerGO minutes after making the final nine, she was still processing it:

It’s so unreal, it is a dream.

Nothing in the record suggests a player chasing variance. The pattern is a long run of mid-buy-in consistency with two very large outliers sitting on top of it.

Margets has built a public profile in Spain that runs well past poker. She has written a book, won a prime-time reality format and works as a speaker for companies and athletes.

By 2025 she had already appeared on two national television shows. Her Main Event run therefore travelled a long way beyond the poker press at home.

Where is Leo Margets from?

Barcelona. She was born there in 1983 and came up through the Spanish circuit while it was still forming.

The Hendon Mob lists her current residence as Andorra.

She keeps her personal life out of view. No partner, marriage or family details appear in any reliable source, and this page does not speculate.

Why her result mattered beyond Spain

Women made up roughly 4% of the 2025 Main Event field: 369 entrants out of 9,735. Margets was the one who got through to the last nine.

That is the arithmetic behind the coverage. Two women at a Main Event final table in 56 editions, drawn from fields where 96% of the entrants are men.

Margets has recorded eight cashes in 2026 for a combined $60,695. The most recent came on 14 July, a 50th place in the WSOP $5,000 8-Handed for $14,267.

Her career total has moved eight times this year alone. Every figure on this page therefore carries a date, and the snapshot behind them was taken on 3 August 2026.

Is Leo Margets still playing poker?

Yes. She has cashed eight times in 2026, across the World Series in Las Vegas, the European series in Prague and the Circuit stop in Marrakech.

During the World Series, the full bracelet results tracker carries every event as it finishes, with field sizes and payouts.
