Mark Scheinberg has an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Mark Scheinberg profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $4.5 billion in 2019.
Mark Scheinberg is a Canadian businessman best known for helping start PokerStars with his father, Isai. They launched the company in 2001, and it grew into the world's biggest online poker business. He owned 75% of parent company Rational Group when the business was sold in 2014. That deal made him one of the best-known self-made figures in online gambling and casino wealth, according to Forbes.
After leaving PokerStars in 2014, Scheinberg put part of his sale proceeds into real estate and luxury hospitality through Mohari. His investments include the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a historic hotel project in Madrid, and a luxury resort in Costa Rica. In 2023, he also bought Tao Group Hospitality, which runs more than 80 restaurants and clubs under brands including Tao, Hakkasan, and Lavo. Forbes values him at $6.6 billion on its real-time tracker as of October 20, 2026.
How Mark Scheinberg built his fortune
Most of Scheinberg's wealth started with PokerStars. He helped launch the site in 2001 at age 28 and rode the poker boom that spread across the U.S. and other markets soon after. PokerStars grew into the biggest online poker company in the world. When parent business Rational Group was sold in 2014, he held a 75% stake and took in more than $3 billion from the transaction.
He later expanded beyond online gambling and casinos into luxury hospitality and real estate. Through Mohari, Scheinberg backed assets tied to high-end travel and property, including the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, a historic Madrid hotel, and a resort in Costa Rica. In 2023, Mohari acquired Tao Group Hospitality. That added a large operating business with more than 80 restaurants and clubs, including Tao, Hakkasan, and Lavo, to his portfolio.
Forbes net worth over time
Forbes estimated Scheinberg's wealth at $4.5 billion in 2019, then $4.9 billion in 2020 and 2021. The estimate rose to $5.3 billion in 2022, then edged down to $5.2 billion in 2023. Those years came after his PokerStars exit, with more of his money tied to private investments in hospitality and real estate rather than a public operating company he still ran day to day.
The Forbes estimate moved up again to $5.6 billion in 2024 and $6 billion in 2025 and 2026. Forbes' real-time tracker later placed him at $6.6 billion in October 2026. His wealth story is unusual because the big step came from cashing out of PokerStars in 2014, while later gains came from putting that capital into hotels, resorts, yachting, and restaurant and club businesses through Mohari.
