Hobbyist Chris Moneymaker proved to the world that poker can be more than just a hobby. Moneymaker is a former accountant, who became the first major poker champion to qualify online and eventually win the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

Even women poker pros are finding success in this traditionally male-dominated sport. Actress Jennifer Tilly, for example, is best known for playing Tiffany Valentine in the 1998 movie Bride of Chucky—but she began more seriously playing poker for a living after she won a bracelet at the Ladies’ No-Limit Texas hold ’em event of the 2005 WSOP, arguably the biggest and most prestigious US poker tournament. Since then, she’s garnered more than seven figures in winnings and, at one point, even considered abandoning acting to play poker full-time.

An even bigger name in the world of women’s poker? Katie Lindsay. Fondly known as the high-stakes poker-playing fashionista, she’s popular for staying stylish both on and off the felt—as well as for being a razor-sharp businesswoman and record-breaking poker pro. Here’s an in-depth exploration of her ventures, how they’ve bolstered her net worth, and why that makes her one of the biggest names in poker as a whole.

Hailing from LA, Lindsay grew up playing poker and graduated college watching Chris Moneymaker’s win at the 2003 WSOP. Inspired by his story, she decided to launch her own business, eventually serving as an agent for over 30 professional poker players and cutting million-dollar deals to boost their careers to new heights. In her free time, she would write articles for major poker publications—and, of course, casually play poker online.

That all changed on Black Friday in 2011, when she started playing in live tournaments. The experience convinced Lindsay to switch to a full-time poker career. “I’d gotten to the point of almost giving up on live poker… one of my good friends Toby Lewis had even turned me down for a swap pre-tournament,” she said in an interview with husband Chris Moorman in 2022. “He did give me a bet that I wouldn’t make day 2 though, so I took him up on it and used it as motivation to play my best… that pretty much kicked off my live poker career.”

To date, Lindsay boasts just under $900,000 in live earnings and more than $2 million in total online earnings, making her one of today’s most successful poker pros.

Of course, Lindsay earns most of her income from playing poker full-time. The majority of winnings were made on the virtual felt. Lindsay’s been playing online tournaments since 2017 and has ranked in the top five at multiple events—but eventually nabbed first place at a No Limit Hold’em ring event during the WSOP’s 2022 online series. Yet, while she’s won over $2 million online, she’s also broken records at in-person tournaments.

That includes the Moneymaker poker tour organized by Chris Moneymaker himself. The tour’s events took place across the US and beyond as part of everything from the Las Vegas Summer Classic to the Caribbean Poker Series in Aruba—and it’s at the latter where Lindsay beat more than 300 contestants to take home the main event and a cash prize of over $102,915.

Her success in Aruba made her the first woman to win a Moneymaker Tour main event and resulted in her biggest live earnings thus far. It’s also not the first time Lindsay’s won the top spot at a live tournament—she’s also gotten first place at the 2015 Royal Poker Tournament’s main event, the No Limit Hold’em Deep Stack event at the 2018 Deepstack Extravaganza IV, and another No Limit Hold’em event at the 2019 Wynn Fall Classic. All these wins have bolstered her net worth over time.

Brand endorsements

Lindsay’s sharp, entrepreneurial mindset and quick thinking on the felt have attracted the attention of many poker brands over the years. Given her prowess and reputation in the world of US online poker, however, it’s no surprise that she eventually became an ambassador for ACR Poker, one of the biggest, oldest, and most trusted poker sites on the web.

Lindsay started endorsing ACR along with her husband, Chris, in 2021. In particular, she welcomed her new role as an ACR Pro because she felt that the site’s community-focused promotions—including its Team Online Championships, Refer-a-Friend program, and Poker Races—coincided with her own values. “I started playing poker because I love games and this game especially,” she elaborated. “I want nothing more from poker than to try and do my best every time I play, and of course, to… make some new friends. I feel like ACR is aligned with that mentality.”

Partnering with ACR Poker has provided Lindsay with even more opportunities to play and gain exposure both online and offline. Thus far, she’s participated in everything from meet-up games on the ACR site to ACR-affiliated live tournaments, including the Enjoy Poker Tour, the aforementioned Moneymaker Tour, and The Cage Live—garnering her more winnings and furthering her overall net worth.

Katie Lindsay also boasts a strong online presence, especially on platforms like Instagram and X. She’s used her standing to promote organizations such as the Krewe of Freret, which upholds local businesses in New Orleans, as well as fundraising initiatives that benefit the likes of the American Cancer Society.

As a style aficionado, Lindsay also uses her social influence to highlight a number of small fashion brands. That includes Hola Guava, a small shop known for designing statement handmade bags and jewelry. These endorsements further open up Lindsay’s opportunities for brand partnerships that contribute to her net worth.

Lindsay has plenty to look forward to in 2025 and beyond. She’s currently set to play a number of tournaments in major cities across the globe in the coming months—but she’s noted that she’s most excited to play at more stops of the Moneymaker Tour. “I met so many amazing people in Aruba,” she shared after winning the tour’s main event in Aruba last October. “I’m definitely planning to play more Moneymaker events, especially in Florida, where my family lives.”

Lindsay has also expressed excitement about supporting the future of playing poker online and has most recently shared new promotions from ACR Poker with that goal in mind. That includes the website’s inaugural Survivor Flips event, which started on February 5 and will end on the 23rd. Notably, the event puts an innovative twist on the traditional online poker format—allowing participants to qualify for major tournaments in a matter of minutes. Here, Lindsay actively supported the event’s development. “I had so much fun being part of the testing group for Survivor Flips,” she revealed. “Being able to be deep in a tournament after only a few minutes of play is a rare opportunity in poker.”

With these current and future goals in mind, it’s clear that Katie Lindsay has yet to play all her cards—and those who follow her can handily expect the pro to continue fashionably blazing a trail in the world of poker.
