Antanas Guoga, popularly known as Tony G, is more than just a high-stakes cash game superstar. The 51-year-old Lithuanian has lived a complete life few could dream of, acting as a politician, an entrepreneur, and a philanthropist off the felt.
While everyone in the poker community that the former CoinPoker owner is filthy rich, few knew exactly how much money Tony G has to his name.
However, that answer has been revealed and quickly circulated around poker Twitter after Patrick Leonard posted a TikTok video produced by an ambitious content creator who approached Guoga as he was getting out of his Rolls-Royce.
Though Guoga knows a thing or two about running one of the best poker apps on the market, he knows how to make money. Plain and simple.
“What do you do out here in Dubai to afford a Rolls-Royce?” the content creator asked Tony G as he was exiting his vehicle.
“I run a blockchain company,” Tony said. “Since I was a kid (I have been a business owner), but this company for five years.”
When asked when his best financial year was, the Lithuanian exclaimed: “Last year was $100 million.”
Tony G claimed that he paid himself $100 million while his company also turned a profit.
He also claimed that his net worth was a staggering $300 million.
He was asked for his best piece of financial advice, which is sure to relate to just about anyone with a pulse.
“Look, first you have to make it. You go all in on your idea because you don’t have money. But when you have money you have to be diversified. That’s very important to be balanced, so you cannot be too aggressive on anything.
“But when you’re making the first hundred million, just go for it. You have to be crazy, insane, never giving up.”
Well, almost all of us are working on our first hundred million Tony G. In the meantime, I’ll just keep playing the softest online poker sites and make my money a few thousand at a time.
