This is specifically regarding people who are primarily known for being poker professionals.

If you include Phil Gordon in that category (which I acknowledge is highly debatable), I think he would give Phil H. and Daniel a run for their money just viz a viz poker enterprises. If you look at his past busness success, I suspect that he has more overall business savvy than either Hellmuth or Negreanu.

I think diablo is referring to "guys who start out playing poker for a living and have business successes" not people who are businessmen and semi rich first. but i could be wrong.

That is probably what he meant (which is why I noted that includign Phil G. is debtable). But given his public persona as a poker star, I think he is much more in the category of Phil H. and Daniel N. than someone like Jerry Buss, for example.
I'll let Diablo make a ruling on this one.
