Too lazy to check, but if you look up only live stream results for 2023, pretty sure 15+ names crack 1m in winnings.
15 might be a fair line for a number of players that win 1m+ just during WSOP cash games. That’s like 10-20 buy ins for semi private games thet run almost 2 months straight with almost no rake. 15 players should be fairly easy.

So many of these poker goof balls don't get it.
Being better at a game you play seriously and are trying hard to win at than someone who is playing for fun looking to gamble isn't hard to do and isn't remotely an accomplishment.
You can't take their money if they don't want to play with you.
Imagine a good pool hustler who has a rich guy playing him for big money. The hustler isn't gonna walk around the table for 5 minutes trying to get the perfect optimal shot and he's not gonna berate the rich guy when he hits some lucky miracle shot. Yea that's never happening.
Almost none of us have billionaire friends so if you want to get in these games it's best to act right.
Not that rare, if you bring a losing player into the game that can dump 3-4x than you win, that will keep you in the game as long as you bring him along. In my experience, other whales rarely complain about the biggest winner, as long as the guy is not a total douchebag ofc. It’s usually the game runner who pulls “they don’t want you in the game” card because himself doesn’t want you winning too much, whales don’t really give a ****.
Agree on all other points obv.
