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 $23 988 793 has been awarded via Apex Legends, between February 2019 to May 2024.

The biggest individual prize pool in Apex Legends history has been $2,000,000. This was awarded at the ALGS Championship in Raleigh in July 2022 and Birmingham September 2023.

The ALGS Championship in 2023 awarded the highest first place prize ever. $600.000 was given to the winners, TSM.

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 since Apex Legends released.

Hal, along with all three members of TSM, won the highest Apex Legends prize ever given out back in September. Their 2023 ALGS Championship win earned them $200,000 each.

Coming in second is mainstay TSM member, Reps. You might wonder how there is a pretty sizable disparity between the Hal and Reps players given they have both teamed together for the games entire lifespan.

ImperialHal has a slightly better record than Reps in events such as TwitchRivals. For example, winning the Twitchcon LAN in 2022. This is why Reps sits a bit behind teammate Hal and is not the joint #1 Apex Highest Earning player.

TSM's ALGS Championship win in September has helped Verhulst complete the 1-2-3 at the top of the list. He lags behind his teammate having joined TSM later into the games lifespan.

However TSM's 1st, 2nd and 1st across the three LAN events in ALGS Year 3 netted Verhulst just shy of the maximum LAN prizing possible in a single years competition.

Zer0 and DarkZero's second place at the recent ALGS Split 1 Playoffs has helped him close the gap on TSM. He now sits close to Verhulst, and could break through the TSM lock at the top of the Apex highest earners list.

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.

Genburten rounds out the top five highest earning apex players.

However, Genburten lags behind his teammate Zer0 after missing the Sweden LAN due to testing positive for COVID. Despite this, he still sits as one of the highest earners in Apex.

The aussie is very popular among Apex Legends fans thanks to his straight talking banterous approach when discussing his opponents.

KaronPe from Reject Winnity has broken into the top ten highest earners after his Split 1 Playoffs win.

Mande is still the highest earning European Apex player. This is despite technically being retired.

Mande sits in 22nd overall, with earnings of $167,112. His Year 3 substitute appearances with Alliance is a reason why he still sits above the likes of Gnaske and Hakis.

The next highest earning European is Hakis, who sits in 24th with $157,949 earned.

The highest earning player from APAC North is Split 1 Champion KaronPe, with earnings of $259,593. From South America, besk9 is the regions highest earning Apex player, with a career total of $94,811.

Following his return to ALGS competition, iiTzTimmy sits amongst the Apex highest earners at 29th overall, with $145,676 earned.

The next chance for players to move their way up the list is will come in with ALGS Year 4 Split 2.
