Johan “N0tail” Sundstein is regarded as one of the most successful players in Dota 2 history. A two-time champion of The International, co-founder of OG Esports, and one of the most influential figures the game has ever seen, N0tail helped redefine how professional Dota teams are built and managed.
It should come as no surprise that N0tail is also considered the wealthiest of all the best Dota 2 players of all time. And while exact figures are not publicly disclosed, available information gives us a strong indication of N0tail’s overall net worth.
N0tail’s competitive achievements mean he’s one of the winningest Dota 2 pros of all time, especially when it comes to prize pools. According to Esports Earnings, he has earned close to $7.2 million in prize money alone, making him the highest-earning esports player in history. That figure comes almost entirely from Dota 2, driven by OG’s legendary victories at The International 2018 and 2019, where the team claimed back-to-back world championships.
However, unlike many professional players who rely primarily on prize winnings, N0tail’s income extends far beyond tournament earnings.

N0tail is a co-founder and long-time co-owner of OG Esports, one of the most recognizable brands in competitive gaming. OG competes across multiple esports titles and has attracted high-profile sponsorships from major global brands.
In 2025, N0tail like received a large windfall due to the acquisition of OG by Chiliz group. The Malta-based company acquired a 51% controlling stake, likely meaning a big payout for N0tail.
While OG’s exact valuation is not public, industry estimates suggest the organization could be worth several million dollars, particularly due to its historic TI wins, brand equity, merchandise sales, sponsorship deals, and content reach. As a co-founder, N0tail’s ownership stake, even reduced after the Chiliz purchase, represents a substantial portion of his net worth.
In interviews and documentaries N0tail has spoken openly about prioritizing long-term team stability and culture over short-term financial gain, a strategy that ultimately paid off both competitively and financially.
In addition to esports earnings, N0tail has made notable real-world investments. One of the most publicized is his $2.2 million, 17-bedroom mansion in Lisbon, Portugal. Details of this huge asset were disclosed in a lengthy BBC interview in 2021.
The property not only represents a significant personal asset but also played a role in OG’s competitive infrastructure. The house doubles as a training facility and place where OG’s players can stay and train. Combined with the fact it’s a high-value piece of real estate in Portugal’s capital, means N0tail’s overall financial position seems incredibly solid.
Taking into account:
We estimate N0tail’s net worth to be between $10 and $15 million.
As with all net worth estimates, this figure is not definitive. Much of N0tail’s wealth is tied to private assets and ownership stakes that are not publicly disclosed. However, based on available information, he is wealthier than even the wealthiest North American Dota 2 players.
N0tail officially stepped back from active professional play in 2021. Since then, he has taken on more of a mentor, leadership, and ambassadorial role within OG and the wider esports ecosystem.
N0tail remains closely associated with Dota 2 and OG Esports, occasionally appearing in content, interviews, and show matches. Most recently, he and other OG legends appeared in a new Monkey Business roster, capturing some of the classic OG and (monkey) Business magic.
