Competition on the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene continues to rapidly intensify. It's been just over a year since the pro scene transitioned to the new version of the shooter, and tournament operators have already hosted over 836 events, distributing a total prize pool of $40,975,653.98. In this article, we will discuss the CS2 players who have earned the most prize money to date.
While The International series of tournaments from Dota 2 dominates with record-breaking prize pools, high earnings are also possible in other esports disciplines. One of these is CS2 — another game by Valve. The uniqueness of the CS2 ecosystem lies in the fact that the status of tournaments is determined not only by prize sums but also by their historical significance.
At the top of the list of the wealthiest CS2 players are members of Vitality - ropz, ZywOo, apEX, mezii, flameZ. The majority of their prize money was earned at the biggest CS2 tournaments — StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, IEM Katowice 2025, BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, ESL Pro League Season 22, and BLAST Open Spring 2025. Each of them has earned over $800k in CS2.
In the top 20 most successful CS2 players are also representatives from teams like FaZe Clan, Natus Vincere, and Spirit. Among them is magixx, who managed to break into the top ten richest, even though he was benched from July 2025 to December.
The primary income for players like donk, sh1ro is linked to additional player payouts from CS2 tournament organizers. Meanwhile, FURIA can boast victories at BLAST Rivals Fall 2025, Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2025, and Thunderpick World Championship 2025.
