Apex highest earning players – who is #1?

Apex Legends esports are approaching the end of their third ALGS year. But, who sits top of the lost of Apex highest earning players?

A total of $33 689 463 has been awarded via Apex Legends, between February 2019 to July 2025.

The biggest individual prize pool in Apex Legends history has been $2,000,000. This has been awarded at several events, including the last ALGS Championship and the recent ALGS Midseason Playoffs.

Of course, the CEO is the highest earning Apex Legends player of all time. He has been a mainstay of the tier one competitive scene, competing with TSM, then Team Falcons since Apex Legends released.

Hal was part of that iconic TSM team that dominated ALGS Year 3, and also found recent success with Team Falcons as they won the ALGS Open. No one has done it like ImperialHal across Apex Legends and he is a deserved leader in this list.

Who else for second place but Zer0? The former DarkZero man was the challenger to TSM's dominance in 2022 and 2023, then going on to team with the CEO himself.

The Australian IGL was part of the team that won the ALGS Sweden Playoffs, and then the ALGS Championship in Raleigh back to back. Following a move to North America, DarkZero won their third LAN title at the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in London. A move to Team Falcons has yielded good results, including the ALGS Open win.

Coming in third is mainstay TSM member, Reps. Despite being currently inactive, his dominance with TSM means he still sits very highly amongst the list of Apex Highest Earning players.

Reps will always be amongst the best to ever play Apex Legends, racking up over half of his lifetime earnings in that incredible 2023 run that saw TSM win two titles and finish second in a third. However, with Reps not currently competing, he may slide down the list over the coming months.

Just a year ago, there was not a single EMEA player in the top 20, let alone top 5 of highest earning Apex players. However, Alliance have been on an absolutely phenomenal run of results and this has seen Hakis, Unlucky and Effect all move inside the top ten.

Hakis' career took off in a big way in 2024 and 2025, with Alliance going on a miraculous run that included winning the Esports World Cup. They also took second place at the ALGS Championship in Sapporo, and second again in the ALGS Open.

While they were disappointing at the most recent ALGS Midseason Playoffs, they have well and truly established themselves as one of the best teams in ALGS history.

Aftrer TSM's ALGS Championship win in September 2023, Verhulst sat third in the list of highest earning Apex players. Like Reps and Hal that dominating season earned Verhulst a huge amount of prize money.

Since that TSM roster broke up, Verhulst hasn't quite found the same success. He finished 13th at the ALGS Championship in Sapporo, 4th at the ALGS Open and then most recently 7th at the ALGS Midseason Playoffs. By no means a bad set of results, but not enough to keep ahead of the likes of Hakis and Zer0.

Despite being retired, Sweetdreams still resides in the top ten.

The highest earning player from APAC North is Year 4 Split 1 Champion Obly, with earnings of $266,923. From South America, artiNN1 is the regions highest earning Apex player, with a career total of $97,012.

As he retires from ALGS competition, iiTzTimmy sits amongst the Apex highest earners at 40th overall, with $179,553 earned. Nafen, who has been retired for over a year, still sits in the 32nd spot.

The next chance for players to move their way up the list is will come in with ALGS Year 5 Split 2 Pro League.
