Richest Celebrities Who Love To Gamble

What can rich celebrities do with their hard-earned, and sometimes not hard-earned cash? Well, they can spend it on lavish purchases and all things glitz and glamour. And they can also choose to gamble in the hope of winning even more money. It’s a path that many celebs go down because they have untold wealth, and it’s usually the richest of them all taking part.

50 Cent

There is no better place to start this list than with hip-hop megastar turned entrepreneur 50 Cent. The man who broke onto the music scene with the hit In Da Club has become renowned for showing off his wealth over the years, and one of the ways he does so is by placing sports bets, usually against friends. He’s also known to enjoy casino gaming, but as he’s a recognisable figure, sticking to playing with reputable online casino operators has probably become the way to go for Fiddy as time has passed. Especially after he controversially declared himself bankrupt some years ago.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

How can you mention 50 Cent and not mention Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a list of the wealthiest celebrities who love to gamble? The pair were formerly friends and now appear to be enemies, which led to large bets occurring. Mayweather Jr. will go down in history as one of the greatest boxers of all time, but his nickname is ‘Money’ for a reason. He can’t get enough of it, and this has seen him become a prolific gambler. Mayweather Jr. can regularly be seen placing huge wagers on sports such as the NBA, where he will often upload screenshots of his betting receipts. He’s also known to love the casino and games such as poker, blackjack and roulette.

Matt Damon

Matt Damon is an interesting entry on this list because, yes, he’s mega-rich, but he also received training from a professional poker player ahead of his role in the hit film Rounders. So, you could say that he entered the gambling scene with more knowledge, skill and experience than many other celebrities who just see it as a great way to pass some time with the potential to earn more money. Damon furthered his love for gambling by entering some recognised tournaments and fared well as you would expect. But not to the level of his friend, who is the final entry on our list.

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck is an actor, writer, producer, and director, and you can add a professional poker player to that list. Affleck has made millions in what many will describe as his day job, but he always had a burning passion for poker and would play as much as possible in his spare time. Yes, he’s a rich celebrity who enjoys gambling, but he’s also a rich celebrity who happens to be skilled at it. He’s played in some of the biggest poker events on the planet and won some massive prizes as a result.
