These Are The 3 Highest Paid Esports Athletes In The World

Nowadays, e-sports has become very popular. Thanks to that, there is more and more money being pumped into these things, which in turn, means that the highest-paid e-sports athletes can receive a fair amount of money.

Johan "N0tail" Sundstein - $6,976,271

John Sundstein can claim the top spot because he has earned a total of $6,976,271. Furthermore, he remains involved, so it seems reasonable to speculate that said number could continue to rise. Sundstein is a long-time veteran who has been playing Dota and Dota 2 since he was 15.

Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka - $6,470,680

The other names on this list are Dota and Dota 2 players as well, which makes sense because it remains either the biggest or one of the biggest games for e-sports. Jesse Vainikka is retired now. Even so, he managed to make quite a name for himself by playing support, which is an often-underappreciated but nonetheless important role.

Anathan "ana" Pham - $6,000,000

Anathan Pham is on the younger side of things, seeing as how he was born in 1999. Despite this, he has already done very well for himself. Pham is an excellent example of someone whose dedication has paid off for him. For proof, look no further than the fact that he dropped out of high school at the age of 16 so that he could move to Shanghai, China to play for Invictus Gaming.
